This year Barcelona started in the Champions League, where, unexpectedly for everyone, they could not enter the fight for the first positions and ended up only in third place.

Over 30 rounds the Blaugranos recorded 17 victories and nine draws, which brought 60 points and second place. The gap from the leader is 12 points, which is almost impossible to reduce. In the last game Barca beat Levante (3:2) on the road Fati, Umtiti, Roberto, Pique, Dest, Depay and Alves will not be able to take part in the game today.
