Barcelona SC traveled to Quito with a full squad to face Liga de Quito this Saturday (18:00) at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, for a star-studded match on day six of the Pro League Series A 2023.

In the list of 23 players drawn up by coach Fabián Bustos, the names of Leonai Souza and Damián Díaz stand out, midfielders who played an outstanding performance in last Monday’s victory (4-1) over Cumbaya in the fifth round of the championship.

Bustos also invited four attackers with whom he will try to harm the university team led by his compatriot Luis Zubeldía. Four against one, because the yellows have a team (Fidel Martínez, Jonatan Bauman, Francisco Fydriszewski and Agustín Rodríguez), while the whites have only one (José Angulo).

In the defense are, among others, Pedro Pablo Velasco, Luca Sosa, Carlos Rodríguez, Mario Pineida.

In the line of midfielders, the presence on the payroll of Janner Corozo, the author of the goal against Cumbaya, stands out.

Barcelona SC are looking to end a curse of 25 years without being able to beat the Liga de Quito in Casa Blanca inside 90 minutes of play.

The idol of the Shipyard since the inauguration of the Rodrigo Paz Stadium in 1997 does not know what it’s like to win a 90-minute match against ‘U’; In total, he collected a maximum of 20 draws.

However, the most important memory for the bullfighters who visited the Liga stadium was in 2020, when they became champions of the Pro Series A League, winning the penalty shootout (1-3) and going through the Olympic match against their rivals.
