FC Barcelona visits Real Sociedad this Thursday at the Reale Arena (9:30 p.m.), in a match in which, in addition to playing 3 vital points, they hope to get up from two 'stumbles' of recent dates

The FC Barcelona is going through his worst moment since Xavi is to the control of the team. The Barcelona group comes of two parties that have meant a hard 'hit' to the morals of the team. The elimination of the Europe League after falling defeated home in front of the Eintracht Frankfurt has brought tail to the Camp Nou, where do not attain 'raise' of the 'KO' and were won by a Cádiz that knew to take advantage of the bad moment of the culés.

Like this then , the directed by Hernández visit this Thursday to the 21:30 hours the Municipal Stadium of Anoeta, now known like the Reale Sand, to confront to a Real Sociedad that looks for to put in Champions. The blaugranas will look for 'shake' the bad series by which cross in front of some 'txuri-urdin' that they are an authentic 'hard bone of roer' for any one that step the lawn of the feudo donostiarra.

The stumble lived in front of the 'yellow submarine' represented a 'blow' to the aspirations of the barcelonistas to litigate by the title of league. The Catalans had to add 3 points in front of the cadistas to be still in the 'career' by LaLiga to the end, but the defeat has changed the plans. Like this it has warned it Xavi in press conference, where ensured that "it does two or three weeks us ilusionamos with being able to compete the League, now remains us very far. The reality is to compete by the second place". Now, the Barcelona square will have to ensure his place in the League of Champions, by what a victory in Anoeta is practically a need for the culés.

By his part, the Real Sociedad does not know the defeat in league from does 5 dates, when it suffered a goleada in his visit to Santiago Bernabéu in hands of the Real Madrid. Since, the ones of San Sebastián add three victories and two ties, the last of them during the past day in Benito Villamarín, where could not 'move' the marker in front of the Real Betis in a meeting that finished with a 'cold' and insufficient 0-0.

In research of the good feelings

The Barcelona expect to recover the good walk that it enjoyed the team before both 'varapalos' in front of the Germans and cadistas. The staff has remained 'touched' after both 'tropiezos' and a reaction is fundamental if the culés pretend to finish between the first four qualifiers of the table and like this can contest the Champions League during the next season.

Precisely, in front of the directed by Sergio González observed to a Barça 'cabizbajo' after the goal of the visitors. The group blaugrana began the party with a lot of intensity, with Ousmane Dembélé like main threat in attack. However, the team was 'difuminando' with the happen of the minutes, and this, aunado to the little forcefulness in both areas, finished decanting the 'scales' in favour of the ones of yellow.

Further of the painful defeat, the attitude of the footballers was what more enajenó to the Catalan fans. Players that came being keys in the square, as it is the case of Frenkie of Jong and Ferran Torres, happened unobserved and the team noticed it. Therefore, the party in front of the Real presents like an opportunity so that these players go back to 'raise the front' and show why are part of one of the biggest clubs of the world.

The Barça recovers to several fundamental pieces

In spite of the context that lives in the City Condal, no everything are bad news. The Catalan group has recovered for this party to two essential pieces in the diagram of Xavi Hernández, as they are Ronald Araújo and Gerard Hammered. The Uruguayan goes back after fulfilling a day of suspension in front of the Cádiz, whereas the '3' returns of his injury. However, the legendary player blaugrana would aim to begin from the bench, avoiding like this a 'difficulty' that it could finish in relapse.

Likewise, the trainer of Terrassa sees like the right band of his square sees reinforced with the good return of Sergiño Dest. The American was one of the few players stood out in the party of the Monday in front of the Cádiz, and has all the 'ballots' to repeat the titularity in front of the donostiarras. Of this way, and in front of the physical difficulties that has presented Dani Alves in the last weeks, Hernández can 'breathe' since the ex of the Ajax is to his disposal.

A party for any one

For the technician egarense, this party is of vital importance, and like this did it know in the previous of the meeting. "The team is about to to play another final against the Real that is a direct rival", ensured the ex midfield player. The culés are conscious that they can not leave points in the 'way', and less in front of these opponents, if they want to form part of the maximum competition of clubs the season that comes. Besides, the meeting will contest in a stadium where the Catalans do not know the defeat from 2016, by what there would be better place for 'encarrilar' to the team.

However, the good dynamics that lives in the Real Sociedad is a big 'obstacle' for the culés. The 'txuri-urdin' also play his classification to the European tournaments, and when being to 'alone' 5 points of the Barcelona, would see this party like an opportunity to shorten distances and approach to his aim. The true is that, by the state of form in which they arrive both clubs, the party is for any one, and will win it the one who show more 'hunger' of victory in a historical field like Anoeta.
