The FC Barcelona 2019-20 follows looking for his best version, but keeps an ambition determinant in the fight by the titles. Although the Catalans do not go through his best moment, have attained to react after a complicated start of season, and waiting for premièring in the Glass of Rey and in the new Supercopa of Spain -foreseen for the month of January-, are very planted in the two competitions at stake.

Since it started the era Ernesto Valverde, the culés have showed like authentic experts in leaderships of LaLiga and the Champions -in the phase of groups-, in which few opponents have done them shadow. From the campaign 2017-18 and taking into account what already has contested in this course, has occupied the first place in 84 of the 100 possible occasions -71 in Spain and 13 in Europe-, a statistics that reflects an extraordinary command.

The series in the championship of the regularity initiated in the first year of the extremeño in the bench, that went of matrícula of honour. There were a lot of doubts around a team that had lived a summer convulso with the escape of Neymar, but the technician knew to turn it into a fortress that commanded from the third date until the number 38. A total of 36 parties in the first square, and the two remaining in the second.

In the second also shined like few, since they were 34 the meetings in which it situated above the rest, in three was second and in the another did not go down of the podium. Only this last season has worsened slightly his figures, since a defeat against the Athletic Club forced him to go in tow. It was sixteenth, ninth, eighth, sixth, fifth, fourth and second before putting leader, just before the inopportune postponement of the Classical.

The Barça pretends to finish the work in the Champions

In Champions, the dynamic is very similar, since the Barça is a safe in the phase of groups. In spite of the difficulties, commanded from beginning to end in the campaigns 2017-18 and 2018-19, before a small borrón in the current. In the scored tie with the Borussia Dortmund the UEFA put to the Germans by in front, because his difencia of goals was better that the one of the square barcelonista by a solo so much.

This yes, the big wish in the Camp Nou is that his series extend to the eliminatory, where the ship that directs Valverde has gone advancing more and more until agrounding of form inexplicable. The ex of Athletic Club knows that it plays it to him by two black episodes in the history of the club, because after Rome and Liverpool, no longer cost more excuses on the way to the dreamed 'orejona'.
