With almost no time to digest their classification last Thursday for the Champions League final, FC Barcelona today (4:00 p.m., Dazn) has in their hands the possibility of sealing the League title, the eighth of their record. It is enough for Giráldez's team to add a point against Sporting de Huelva to mathematically certify the title and thus culminate a dream week. “It would be a fantastic week”, the Blaugrana coach acknowledged in the preview, who hopes to repeat the good harmony with the Culé parish: “We want it to be a great day, similar to the one we experienced in the Champions League semifinal with qualifying for the final. We hope it will be a good day to celebrate the League title. We know it's the fruit of the season's work and it would be a really good way to end the week."
After the euphoria of qualifying for the Eindhoven final, Giráldez gave the entire squad a party yesterday to rest physically and mentally. The coach from Vigo warns that they must "take into account the emotional management" of the dressing room after the Camp Nou game, in which the blaugrana sealed their pass to the third consecutive final. He also intends to continue with the rotations: “. In this section until the final of the Champions League, we will be able to distribute minutes so that the players arrive in the best possible way, ”explained the coach yesterday.
Only Bronze and Rolfö are missing from the squad due to injury, and Sandra Paños, whom Giráldez has decided to rest this day. Yes, Alexia Putellas will be there. The captain was left unable to reappear at the Camp Nou due to the tight score and she will be able to play the first minutes of it after almost ten months injured this Sunday at the Johan Cruyff. “A return to competition, at such a high pace, when you have not been able to test it, is too risky and I already said that we were not going to take risks. In the next game we will surely see her... So that you can also stop asking questions", explained Giráldez.
In addition to a new League title, which would be the eighth in the list of winners of the Barcelona entity, against Sporting de Huelva, Barça also has the challenge of adding a new victory that brings them closer to repeating the perfect season that they completed last season winning the 30 days that were disputed. If they certify the title, the blaugrana would equal the record for consecutive leagues
