A Barcelona in need of points receives Almería this Wednesday at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, in a match corresponding to the eighteenth day of LaLiga EA Sports. The blaugranas enter the midweek duel as third in the standings, nine behind the leader, Michel Sánchez's Girona, who comfortably beat Alavés (3-0).
The culés are going through one of the most complicated moments of the season, with only one win in their last four league games, against Atlético Madrid.
"I think we have improved a lot in the game compared to Girona. We are not in a great moment, in the seasons there are bad moments but we have to get out now because there are a lot of points. We are with the coach, he is the first one who is screwed when we lose. We must all be together," explained midfielder Pedri, after the draw at Mestalla.
The culés are paying for their lack of success, according to their coach Xavi Hernández. It is one of the teams that generates the most chances but is one of the least effective in Europe. However, the coach denies that it is a game problem, given the voices critical of the team's proposal.
The culés have been unable to get the three points for several dates. Neither with Rayo, nor with Girona, against whom they lost, and against Valencia (1-1). In addition, the European setback against Antwerp is added.
The match between Barcelona and Almería, corresponding to the eighteenth day of LaLiga EA Sports, will be played on Wednesday, December 20, at 7:00 p.m., at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. The meeting can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
