Barcelona’s Form
For a side which was so dominant for the best part of two decades, the clubs has seen themselves struggle in recent years following the departure of club legend Messi and a mass exodus of his supporting cast, before even mentioning a myriad of financial issues. However, 24/25 is a new season and they currently sit top of the La Liga ahead of Real by a goal difference of +15, Atletico by 1 point and a goal difference of +20 along with having a game in hand over both sides.
Barcelona midweek comfortably booked their place into the next round of the Champions League midweek following a 3-1 victory over Benfica on the night from a Raphinna brace and a stunner from Yamal to secure the 4-1 aggregate win. This was their third successive win in all competitions scoring ten goals and conceding just once in the process.
This is effectively a title six-pointer and with their game in hand will create a crucial gap between themselves and Atlético with a win.
