Football. ua presents to your attention the announcement of the match of La Liga between Barcelona and Athletic.
Barcelona will try to rehabilitate for defeat in a match with Leganes.
Barcelona - Athletic Saturday, 5:15 pm, Barcelona, ??Camp Nou. Referee Jaime Latre.
Nothing foreshadowed troubles for Barcelona in the duel of the last tour against Leganes, but it happened. The Catalans managed to give up Leganesa on the road, although during the match the guests were in the lead. Athletic played at the same time with Barcelona and also lost.
It happened with the Basques for the first time in the season too.. The offender "lions" became Villarreal. However, despite the crushing score (0: 3), it does not reflect what is happening on the field.. Athletic played on an equal footing and lost because of the incredible Fornals goal from 40 meters. If it were not for this goal, the game could have ended in a draw.
Athletic will come to the Camp Nou to defend and may well fall under the hot hand. The guests are told only by the fact that next week Barcelona has the most important Champions League match against Tottenham.. Valverde may well give a couple of major players a rest, and this season we have already seen what happens to Barcelona when she plays with a non-optimal composition..
