Overview of the match for Barcelona V Girona
The next stage of Barcelona in their quest to recover the title of Real Madrid sees them welcome the neighbors Girona at the Olympic stadium, the visitors who did not match their Laliga exploits from last season.
The men of Hansi Flick spent a 3-0 victory against Osasuna on Thursday to go to three points away from Real Madrid at the top of the table, stretching their undefeated race in all 19-matches in the process. They abandoned the points for the last time in Laliga on January 18, when Getafe held the Blaugrana in a 1-1 draw.
75% – Hans -Dieter Flick 🇩🇪 won 33 of his 44 games for @FcBarcelona In all competitions, equaling Tito Vilanova (75%). Among managers with more than 10 Barcelona games, only Luis Enrique (76.24%) has a better percentage than German. Star#Barcelona ❤💙#Barcelonaosasuna pic.twitter.com/um7HB697Fy

But Barça will probably be under pressure again when they launch on Sunday, with Madrid, which should move on points when they face the Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. Barça will remain in the lead, it doesn’t matter that Madrid 4-0 beat in October, but the routine victory planned for the Carlo Ancelotti teams will increase the Barça burden so as not to slip against a team that qualified for the Champions League last season.
Girona arrived at the upper table of Europe after reaching the dizzying peaks of third place in the 2023-24 season. However, they were unable to challenge the established order of Laliga this campaign. Indeed, they are only seven points above the relegation zone.
The probability is that Girona will survive, but they could look more nervously on their shoulders after this weekend. Barça was 4-1 winner in the reverse match in September thanks in part to a double Yamal in Lamine. Girona won 4-2 home victories last season, but nothing in the form book suggests that a side victory in their last six games will be able to upset its odds.
Team news for Barcelona v girona
Having missed the match against Osasuna after his participation in the humility of Brazil in the hands of the Rivals of Arch, Argentina, the winger Raphinha is the line to return to the fray for Barça.
Pau Cubarsi should be available to play at the heart of the defense of Barça despite a minor injury on the ankle suffered in Spain, but an adductive injury suffered by Dani Olmo in the victory over Osasuna will keep him out of Flick’s plans. Barcelona confirmed on Friday that the Spanish international would be sidelined for three weeks.
Andreas Christensen, Marc Casado, Marc-André Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal are all unavailable.
