Barcelona faces Valencia this Saturday amid the doubts left by its last two defeats, against Girona in Montjuic (2-4) and on Wednesday in Antwerp in the Champions League (3-2), against the bottom team, although the Azulgranas were assured of first place in their group.
The culé coach
The return of midfielder Frenkie de Jong, absent in the last Champions League match against the Belgian team due to a fever, is the main novelty on Barcelona's list to face Valencia at Mestalla this Saturday. The following are still missing: goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, defenders Iñigo Martínez and Marcos Alonso and Gavi.
Despite Barcelona's bad moment, Valencia coach Rubén Baraja believes it will be a tough game: "Many circumstances have to happen, but we have to think that our fans are going to go en masse to Mestalla believing. Me as a fan "I would like Valencia to be brave, aggressive, to take risks, to want to look for the game and Barcelona and compete at 200%, and they will have that response."
The match between Valencia and Barcelona, corresponding to the seventeenth day of LaLiga EA Sports, will be played on Saturday, November 16, at 9:00 p.m. The meeting can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
