Barça is swimming in troubled waters. If he remains runner-up to Real Madridthe Catalan club no longer has the right to make mistakes so as not to lose ground in the title race. The defeat at the Bernabeu in the Clasico a week ago (1-2) left its mark. More than the raw result, it was the manner that stood out, confirming the bad streak of a team that fails to correct its weaknesses on the defensive level.
Largesse further offset by the incredible spectacle that the attack offered a few months ago. But with a full infirmary and Lamine Yamal far from his best level, Barça is starting to stammer in its attacking football. Without Pedri, suspended after his red card received in Madrid, Hansi Flick’s team will try to give a reassuring response against Elche this Sunday (kick-off at 6:30 p.m.).
The expected compositions
Barca : Szczęsny, Koundé, Cubarsí, García, Balde, De Jong, Bernal, Yamal, López, Rashford, Torres.
Elche : Pena, Nunez, Affengruber, Bigas, Petrot, Aguado, Valera, Neto, Febas, Mir, Silva.
