Day to day, the calendar follows advancing to 2019, and the FC Barcelona looks for to finish the year with good feelings and on the way to go back to conquer all the possible titles. It does hardly some days there were reasons to celebrate in Champions, and after resisting to some encerronas in LaLiga, has arrived the moment to give an extra to forget tropiezos and hang the poster of leaders in the challenging visit of the Villarreal.

To attain it it will be necessary to leave to a side an uncomfortable but too usual subject lately, with some injuries that have turned into leading and have 'loaded' to more than a third of the staff. Explaining to Carles Aleñá, Ernesto Valverde has of 23 players, and until eight of them remain went by diverse physical problems. Thomas Vermaelen, Sergi Samper, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha Alcántara, Luis Suárez, Jasper Cillessen, Arthur and Samuel Umtiti are the drops.

They have to see or no the absences -that are adding wear and fault of rhythm to more than a crack-, the true is that this team follows looking for his best football, and resists as it can to the charged of some rivals that have left to the discovered his weaknesses. It will be the tiredness of a campaign post World-wide, a mental exhaustion or the fault of feelings of an intelligible pothole, but more than looking for guilty, what touches is to try improve without moving away too much of the victories.

In this attempt will have a lot that see the need, whenever the culés turn it into hunger and no in a despair that have the contrary effect. In a more tightened tournament that of habit, it is necessary to begin to throw upwards, to plough advantages what before and not suffering too much when it arrive the hour to play the trophies to face or cross.

In spite of that now it begins to go something just of strengths, the Barça is in full final sprint to 2019, with a stop navideño in which it will be able to freshen the legs and begin a promotion that has to finish in celebrations to final of course. As it has said more than once the Txingurri, the seasons measure in function of the gaps in the calendar, and there is not at all better that park League, Champions and Glass of the King with the duties done in all they.

The Villarreal is a deceptive rival in the Camp Nou

The Villarreal, by his part, arrives with the doubts of a year that has not begun as it expected, but in which it is encouraging in thinking that the important is how finishes. It is in the low zone of LaLiga and has suffered some frights in Glass and Europe League, but if it attains to improve his feelings, will be, as always, one of these groups that gives a lot that speak.

After a month, the castellonenses went back to celebrate a victory, precisely against a Real Betis that does not do so much that conquered the Camp Nou. It will be to base of game and possession that the Valencians will try to demolish to the Catalans, and all they arrive warned that in an open party, everything can happen. In this League no longer there is favourite.
