They happen the parties and the FC Barcelona follows giving steps to the longed for triplete. They remain 15 parties that will be taken each one, by the staff of Ernesto Valverde, as authentic finals. In Champions is where more attention it will be necessary to put

From the celebration of the Trophy Joan Gamper 2018, in the month of August, the fans and players of the FC Barcelona left very clear his wish express to win the triplete this campaign. Now, to so only two months and half for the end of this season 2018-19, the dream of all the culés is more near that never and the Barça has everything of face to be able to go back to make history.

The third triplete of the history of the club is to 15 parties of distance. Five of Champions League -quarter-finals (2), semifinals (2) and final-, a final of Glass of the King against Valencia and nine days of a practically sentenced League, to fault that it was mathematical. It is clear that where more will have to employ the Barça is in the Glass of Europe, the tournament that is more open and in which will have big competitors.

It fits to remember that the first triplete of the Barcelona achieved under the control of Pep Guardiola in the course 2008-2009, with Messi, Eto'or, Xavi or Iniesta between his rows. That keeps on being the best FC Barcelona of the history, and for many is the team that better has played never to the football. After the of Pep, would arrive the Barça of Luis Enrique, that did not play so well but that achieved another 'triplete' in the season 2014-2015, thank you largely to the contribution of the call 'MSN', formed by Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar.

Ernesto Valverde aspires to be the third technician culé that attain it, and as it has put the campaign has serious options to achieve it. Only a catastrophe could do that the Barça lose the ten points of difference that has right now, when they are missing 27 for playing , regarding the Athletic of Madrid in LaLiga Santander 2018-19.

In Glass of Rey, the barcelonistas will play it to him everything to a letter in the big final of Benito Villamarín. The Valency of Marcelino will be his rival on 25 May. The 'ches' want to proclaim champions of Glass of the King to celebrate his centenary, and already have left clear in more than an occasion that can generate problems. Parejo, Rodrigo or Guedes will try to water the dream of the triplete to the culés, although they will not have it easy.

The Champions League is, on the paper, where more difficulties will find the Barcelona to proclaim champion. In principle, the crossing against the Manchester United is very favourable to the blaugranas, that would have to manage without a lot of difficulties against the English if they are to the level that expects . In a hypothetical crossing of semifinals the opponent would be the Liverpool. A dangerous and mortal team to the counterattack, but accessible for the Barça as long as it surpass to the Port wine in quarter-finals. Finally, in the final would expect predictably Juventus or Manchester City, two of the big favourites to win the title beside the FC Barcelona.

Ernesto Valverde will have to increase the rotations in the next parties of League, presumably after the crash against the Athletic of Madrid of 6 April, to keep cool the legs of his main players in the duels of Champions League. But it will have to do it with head, and without shelving to LaLiga until it was not won mathematically. That is the mission of the Txingurri, rotar with head thinking in Europe without shelving to the domestic competition in these last two months of season. If it knows to do it, and his players do not raise the foot of the accelerator, this can be a historical campaign for the club.
