Next Saturday, for the first time in what it goes of season, the FC Barcelona will depend on if same to sing the alirón in LaLiga. The duel against the Raise will be very important, but will go conditioned by the semifinals of Champions League
The FC Barcelona carries all the season working to be able to arrive to the situation in which it finds to day of today. The Barcelona group is classified for the semifinals of the Champions League -that will play against the Liverpool- and for the final of the Glass of Rey, that will be against Valencia. Nevertheless, the nearest aim is LaLiga Santander.
The Barça is in front of the possibility to sing the alirón next Saturday depending on if same. It will do it without playing if the Athletic of Madrid loses in front of the Valladolid, but also if the culés impose to the Raise, without mattering what do the ones of Diego Pablo Simeone. The importance of the duel of the Saturday bumps with the one of the duel that will play four days later: the 'semis' of Champions.
The aim of the Barça for the present week was to leave sentenced mathematically LaLiga, but it is necessary to take into account that with little margin will arrive the visit of the Liverpool and the idea of Ernesto Valverde is that all the players arrive frescos physically to the party against the English, in which there is not margin of error when being an eliminatory to double party.
It is thus that, by many win that it have to conquer LaLiga this same Saturday, Ernesto Valverde rotará to preserve the physical state of his stars. The alignment can go conditioned by the result that take out the Athletic of Madrid in front of the Valladolid, but what is undoubted is that there will be numerous changes of the players that accumulate more minutes.
The possible changes of Valverde
In these last two meetings, there are several players that already have rested, as in the case of Clément Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Arthur, Ivan Rakitic or Leo Messi. The one who has been headline in the two duels is Luis Suárez, that has all the numbers not to jump to the field of start against the Raise.
The rest of footballers could repeat rest, since many of them accumulate big wear in his legs. In spite of this, do not expect massive rotations as in the day of the Huesca, since there have been rests in the last meetings and would be important to sentence LaLiga the Saturday. On the other hand, it expects that Dembélé go back to be headline, since it needs minutes to optimise his fitness.
