The previous of the party: Athletic Club vs FC Barcelona (League J2)

Last party before the stop by selections, and last proof of fire for the FC Barcelona of Luis Enrique that plays in one of these stadiums where can show the best but also the worst. A Saint Mamés that will be engalanado and until the flag to receive to his in the first meeting that play home. An Athletic Club of Bilbao that will look for his first three points in front of a Barça that, instead, what wants to is to follow at the head of the classification after the goleada harvested in the debut suspender belt in front of the Real Betis. 

But for this will have to leave the skin in the lawn in front of a team that will go out with all his physical potential to put him the very difficult things to the blaugranas. Recovered already Aymeric Laporte, his incorporation to the eleven initial of the ones of Ernesto Valverde arrives wrapped in the morbo to having been able to fichar by the Barça in this market of signings and not to have it done. Laporte Will treat to put the very difficult things in defence, to the equal that Raúl García, Iñaki Williams or Aritz Aduriz will look for to do it in attack. The Basques will have to replace , on the other hand, of the drops of Aketxe, Kike Alone and Mikel Rico, all out of the party by injury.

By what does to the ones of "Struggle", Andrés Iniesta and Jeremy Mathieu will be the only that are not, beside Neymar that is still in Brazil, for the party since already they have recovered Marc-André ter Stegen and Javier Mascherano. Both aim to the titularity, one to occupy the gap left by Claudio Bravo already in Manchester, and the another to go back to the centre of the saga to the detriment of Samuel Umtiti that played a good party in front of the Real Betis. It will not be for the party neither Jasper Cillessen whose tránsfer did not arrive to time for the meeting. 

They do not forget of the 4-0 of the past course

What the blaugranas have very clear is that any distraction pays in Saint Mamés. A totally English field where the past season them infligieron the goleada more painful of the course. It was in the gone of the Supercopa of Spain and although the culés arrived with a lot of drops and without hardly rest, the four to zero that lumbered with them the rojiblancos was incontestable. However, the ones of Valverde would not go back to win to the Barça in the following five parties that played in front of them. Although empataron to one in the turn, in the last split suspender belt that both contested in Bilbao the Barcelona carried the victory thanks to a goal of Luis Suárez. In the gone of the Glass also won the culés one to two, in addition to the six to zero in the Camp Nou during the past League and the three to one of the turn copera.

Mateu Lahoz Will be the one who direct the party. A controversial referee that always has had his more and his less in the meetings that has arbitrated to the Barcelona team. There is not more than remembering that the Valencian referee was the one who ate two clear penaltis in the Athletic of Madrid-FC Barcelona of the principle of LaLiga 2015-2016. Besides, always it has characterised for being a referee that leaves to follow and is not very given to stop the parties in spite of the hard game. In spite of all this, if the current champions of League have his day there will be rival neither referees that can with them. All the world expects that Leo Messi go back to take out his magic flute for, the same that did the past weekend, hipnotizar to the beasts, in this case lions.
