The FC Barcelona apura his last commitments of the season 2018-19, in which it expects to seal another doublet after a disappointment sounded. The Catalans opted to the triple crown and carried a capital disappointment, with another disaster in Champions that will happen a time until they begin to cicatrizar. In the meantime, they have to answer to his obligations, and do it with a very clear idea.

Ernesto Valverde recognised that the team is 'touched' morally after the disaster in Anfield, but signalled that has win to go out forward. This involves to give the face in a League that already is sentenced, and in which it touches to face two clashes against Getafe and Eibar before launching of full to the last put of the course, the final of the Glass of the King against Valencia.

This Sunday, in front of the 'azulones', the technician has thrown of headlines in his alignment, in which there has been some adjust punctual but in which they have been able to see some proofs of face to the appointment in Benito Villamarín. Jasper Cillessen has gone back to appear in the goal to take rhythm, and also there have been opportunities for Samuel Umtiti or Malcom.

The main novelty in the eleven has been the participation of Leo Messi as 'false' nine, a movement forced by the drop of Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan has gone through the operating theatre to correct the annoyances in his knee, and will not be available in this demanding final stretch of the campaign, of the same form that an Ousmane Dembélé that apura to arrive to the duel against the 'che' in Seville.

Without his main offensive reference, the Barcelona have had problems to generate occasions, since the Argentinian can not exert the paper of his mate fixing central and opening spaces so that the rest of attackers remain free of mark. Philippe Coutinho, Malcom or Arturo Vidal have tried to take advantage of the corridors that remained in the orderly wall of the Madrilenian, but has cost to find roads of water until the Chilean has opened the tin and has forced to the visitors to step forward.

Valverde Reserves the 'letter' Abel Ruiz

Although the absence of Suárez has opened the door to his debut with the first team, Valverde reserves still the 'letter' Abel Ruiz, a leading born centre to the that has called to the trainings and to the that has included in the announcement against the Getafe. It seems difficult that the one of Almusafes can start in the eleven initial against Valencia, but if in the next days there are novelties, could do a gap due to the fact that it possesses a more specific profile that the rest of footballers of which has the Txingurri. In this day touched him appear of urgency, going in by Philippe Coutinho that left with muscular annoyances.
