Barcelona came close to the Spanish league title after a classic win against Real Madrid in the last round. Now, the Catalans are back on the pitch for the 27th round of La Liga, this Saturday, at 4pm (Brasilia time), against Elche, away from home.
Guests try to maintain the good momentum in La Liga. A win will open Barcelona 15 points clear of Real Madrid in the standings.
Coach Xavi Hernández’s side are keen to show that Barcelona are on track to return to the top of European football, after three years without winning the domestic league.
Elche, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the standings with just 13 points, half of the penultimate place. The hosts are in a tough spot and need a win to start dreaming of escaping relegation.
Real Madrid are already looking for recovery on Sunday. Meringues receive Valladolid, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, in Madrid.
