Summary
With the elimination in the European competition, Barcelona now has as its main objective the conquest of the Spanish Championship. The team coached by Xavi comes from seven consecutive victories in the national and, thus, leads the competition, with 59 points – eight ahead of rival Real Madrid, in second place.
For the confrontation, the manager still shouldn’t count on midfielder Pedri, who was injured in the first match against Manchester United, for the Europa League. On the other hand, his teammate Gavi, suspended for this Thursday’s clash, returns to the starting lineup.
Almería, on the other hand, is experiencing a more troubled moment. The club lost the last three matches and is in 17th place in the league, with 22 goals – tied on points with Cádiz, the first team within the relegation zone. The victory gives the team a sigh and confidence for the rest of the season.
