So much Pedri González like Frenkie of Jong await by the high medical thinking in the duel of the Saturday in front of the Real Sociedad, a very complicated party for a Barça forced to add the three points for no despegarse more than the leadership.

In the case of the Dutch, the plan of Xavi Hernández aims to give him some 20 or 25 minutes in the complement, as it sue it the formality of the meeting in San Sebastián. The past season, the group blaugrana finished goleando to the 'txuri-urdines' (1-4) with a ráfaga of 3 goals in 11 minutes (of the 68' to the 79') promoted by the contribution of the changes made in the second part (Ansu, the 'MVP' with two assistances and a so much).
