FC Barcelona visits Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín this Saturday with a very clear objective: add three points that will seal qualification for the next group stage of the Champions League

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona visits Benito Villamarín without margin of error and with the imperial need to achieve a victory that allow him fulfil one of his two aims in this final stretch of the season 2021-2022: classify to the next Champions League. To win to the Real Betis, the Barcelona picture would be mathematically in the following phase of groups of the continental competition.

To the picture trained by Xavi Hernández is him doing excessively largo this end of course and the last parties have been the proof of this. The Barça has been very dense, without ideas to create in zone of three chambers and with a lot of doubts in the defence. They have been two defeats (0-1 against the Cádiz and Ray Vallecano) in the last four clashes and the alarms are very lit.

The results have not been positive and neither has been it the game of the blaugrana, accompanied of the constant injuries and physical problems. The Barça is 'suffering' to finish the campaign, but will be key that react not to leave escape the aims because the competition is maximum and the calendar neither the classification give grantings. The blaugrana, in fact, only have two points of advantage with the third busy square by the Seville (66 in front of 64) and eight regarding the fifth position, where is the Real Betis.

The group directed by Manuel Pellegrini dreams with putting in the Champions League and know that for this will be vital to win to the Barça. They would have to add four points more than the Athletic of here to final of season, by what tie up a victory in his field against the Barcelona (knowingly that the Atleti will have derbi this Sunday) would direct them to dream with the fourth square.

The Betis knows how hurt him to the Barcelona and will have to repeat the formula that employed at the beginning of December. The culés, by the contrary, will have to take the visit to Seville like a true final and 'push' to goal as if the season depended on this (that, partly, is like this). It will be key that the attackers are enchufados from the beginning and take advantage of the opportunities that will have in front of Claudio Bravo, that comes 'grown' after the final of the Glass of Rey, where was leading.

The Barça, with several drops

They are a few the doubts of the FC Barcelona of face to the crash against the verdiblancos, especially because the injuries continue without giving respite to the culés. Gerard Hammered, Sergiño Dest and Sergi Roberto have said practically "goodbye" to the season and in the case of the central Catalan and the international with United States, suppose sensitive drops for Xavi of face to the visit to Benito Villamarín. It has added the uncertainty with Marc-André ter Stegen, the one who was not in the training of the Saturday by problems estomacales.

The good news for the blaugrana is that Ansu Fati is every time better and will follow adding minutes against the Betis. It will not go out like titling, but there is full confidence that little by little it will recover the confidence on the field and his best version: "it Has trained very well and it is doing a very good work. Physically I see it ready but it is necessary to go with caution. The idea is that between progressively. The feelings are very good and goes us to help sure", said Xavi Hernández in press conference.

A compulsory triumph and key

The Barça has remained in a position in which it can not allow lose more points. The party against the Betis only can finish with victory so that they move away the doubts that have accompanied to the picture culé since they returned of the stop FIFA of the month of March. There is not margin of error and 'touch' sweat the T-shirt until it finish the season.
