The FC Barcelona plays a lot this Sunday in his visit to the UD Almería, in the dispute of the twentieth second day of LaLiga Santander. The ones of Xavi Hernández want to recover the good feelings after the elimination in the Europe League in playoffs and, besides, achieve an advantage of ten points on the Real Madrid, that empató in the derbi against the Athletic of Madrid (1-1).
For the Barcelona is a key visit to a team that is living his lower hours and that adds three consecutive defeats in LaLiga, but that surely will contest him the party to a Barça that needs to go back to win to recover the confidence. Besides, as they remember from 'ACE', can equalise a historical record in LaLiga that up to now only had achieved Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova, also in the Barcelona group.
And it is that, in case to win to the almerienses this Sunday, the Barça would be adding 63 points in the classification to equalise his best 'start' in the tournament. They had achieved it in the season 2010-2011 with Guardiola and, two years afterwards, under the orders of Vilanova. Any another team in the history of the Spanish championship has reached it to date.
Like this then , Xavi Hernández is to a triumph to equalise to two of which went his trainers sometime and, also, to direct to his to a new title, because they would be ten points of advantage on the Real Madrid with a historical balance, also, of twenty victories, a tie (vs Ray, by 0-0, in the première of the culés in the championship) and an alone defeat (in Santiago Bernabéu, by 3-1).
Without place to doubts, the regularity has been the best ally of the Barcelona team, thing that was missing them in the European competitions. However, andn League have been picture very reliable, with a lot of goal and that has a defence infalible to which only have annotated him seven goals in what it goes of championship. They are the best numbers no only in Spain, but in all Europe.
Eighth victory followed?
Besides, in the house of the Almería the Barça plays the possibility to add his eighth consecutive victory. They have won all the parties that have contested in this 2023. They began 'assaulting' the Cívitas Metropolitan, by the minimum, gone on down the visit home of the Getafe and the derbi against the Girona in Montilivi, that saldaron with victories by the minimum, also. The Barcelona won, afterwards, to the Betis (1-2) and Seville (3-0), before the complicated visit to the Villarreal (0-1) and the triumph of the past Sunday in front of the Cádiz (2-0).
Without place to doubts, Xavi Hernández has found the formula so that his team work without mattering the alignment or rotations. In everything this year, the Barça has 'gone out advance' even with the absence of Robert Lewandowski, suspended in the first three parties of the 2023, or with the recent injury of Ousmane Dembélé. It has become a Barcelona group with an impressive capacity of adaptation and that adds to the 'war' was the one who was.
