After obtaining the first title of the curs a Riad, and to qualify, by thrashing, for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey against Ceuta, the Blaugrana will look today to add another victory against Getafe (6:30 p.m.), a team in low hours, before disputing the next commitment of Cup and to visit Montilivi.
While Xavi’s team will try to maintain the revelry, Getafe will fight not to fall into the abyss, since it arrives at the Camp Nou to rub the relegation positions and with the pain of a coach, Quique Sanchez Flores, which does not feel the support of a large part of the club’s ranks. And the process of gaining momentum begins from an extremely difficult starting line: the Camp Noua stage where, until now, the blue team has never won.

Even so, there is no doubt that Barça are in a good moment, and this will make Quique Sánchez Flores’ job even more difficult. “If we are not in the best moment, we are in one of the best. We also chained together a good streak after the draw with Rayo, but this victory against Madrid, which meant a title, gives us a lot of morale and confidence”, says Xavi.
Regarding the pieces, now without Memphis Depay, and with the sanctions of Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Xavi has almost secured the title of Ansu Fati. If Gavi is Barça’s flagship player; Ansu is the hope, a player who is slowly starting to recover the best version, he has scored three goals in the last games and has gained in confidence after the multiple injuries that have burdened him in recent years.
