Barcelona go into the next game with a feeling that is not entirely clear.
It’s not because there are any doubts about his form in La Liga.
But because of what happened outside.
The team’s defeat in the UEFA Champions League on April 14 left a different impression. A team that held its own in the series, found chances and even responded on the scoreboard with goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres.
But that wasn’t enough.
And it changes the way you read what happens next.
From Champions League to La Liga
While travel was canceled in Europe, it was a different story for domestic tournaments.
Barcelona is not in a state of emergency.
It comes from control.
A 4-1 victory over RCD Espanyol in the derby on April 11th not only confirmed their good form, but also extended their lead over the leaders and maintained their advantage at the top.
The team with 79 points will not only be in the lead, but will also be setting the pace.
And it changes the approach.
Because now the challenge is not to react, but to persist.
Maintain the advantage you have built up every day.
At least in La Liga, we will maintain the form in which we found the answer.
next match
In this scenario, the match against Celta de Vigo would take place on Wednesday, April 22nd, at home at the Estadi Olympique Lluis Company.
It’s not a trivial matter.
Playing at their home stadium also changes the timing of the match and gives Barcelona a situation closer to what they have built up in La Liga.
And this is where this match becomes more than just a match.
And he starts to feel like he’s part of something the team has already built, but now he has an obligation to maintain it.
