FC Barcelona<\/strong> will play this Saturday the match corresponding to matchday 32 of LaLiga EA Sports<\/a>, with seven matches remaining until the end of the championship and with a four-point advantage over Real Madrid, in addition to another seven over Atl\u00e9tico.<\/p> Hansi Flick’s team arrives with an undefeated streak of 12 matchdays (10 wins, 2 draws)<\/strong>, after defeating Legan\u00e9s last week in Butarque (0-1). However, the ‘azulgrana’ team fell on Tuesday in Dortmund (3-1), leaving behind an undefeated streak of 24 matches.<\/p> Facing them will be Claudio Gir\u00e1ldez’s Celta, a rival that already complicated things for the ‘cul\u00e9s’ in the first round. The match in Bala\u00eddos on matchday 14 ended in a draw (2-2)<\/strong>, after Bar\u00e7a wasted a two-goal lead in the final minutes.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a had taken an early lead thanks to a goal from Raphinha in the 15th minute. In the 61st minute, Robert Lewandowski seemed to seal the match with the partial 0-2<\/strong>. However, the Galicians reacted with a couple of goals in two minutes of ‘azulgrana’ confusion.<\/p> Alfonso Gonz\u00e1lez scored in the 84th minute, while Hugo \u00c1lvarez made it 2-2 in the 86th minute. This draw prolonged a slump for Flick’s team in the final stretch of 2024<\/strong>, where the team barely won 1 out of 8 league matches, with 3 draws and 4 defeats.<\/p> However, Barcelona managed to make a 180-degree turn in their league performance in 2025. The ‘azulgrana’ team started the second round with a draw in Getafe (1-1), but then added 9 consecutive victories<\/strong> to regain the lead in the tournament.<\/p> In the last two matchdays, however, the ‘cul\u00e9s’ have reduced their offensive production. A draw at home against Betis<\/strong> (1-1) and a victory in Butarque<\/strong> (0-1) maintain the Catalan team’s undefeated streak this year in LaLiga, but the schedule, without a doubt, is starting to take its toll on the team.<\/p> Celta, on the other hand, had a very irregular end to 2024 and start to 2025. Claudio Gir\u00e1ldez’s team did not win between matchdays 19 and 22, but then went 8 matches without defeat between matchdays 23 and 30<\/strong>, with 5 wins and 3 draws.<\/p> Surprisingly, last week, the Galicians fell in Bala\u00eddos against Espanyol (0-2)<\/strong>, being their first defeat in the last two months. Thus, the Vigo team is seventh with 43 points, 27 less than Bar\u00e7a.<\/p> FC Barcelona<\/strong>: W\/D\/W\/W\/W<\/p> Celta de Vigo<\/strong>: L\/W\/D\/W\/W<\/p> For Bar\u00e7a, the match of matchday 32 of LaLiga represents the beginning of the final stretch of the season<\/a><\/strong>. In the next two weeks, the team will go for the treble with a very tough schedule, including two Cl\u00e1sicos (LaLiga and Copa) against Real Madrid and the ‘semis’ of Champions.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> Before focusing on the Copa final (April 26) and the tie against Inter Milan (April 30 and May 6), it’s time to play two LaLiga matchdays at home<\/strong>. The first, against Celta, is an opportunity to maintain a comfortable lead in the leadership, with six matches remaining.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a is still four points ahead of Madrid and seven ahead of Atl\u00e9tico<\/strong>, in addition to having an advantage in the head-to-head and goal difference against both rivals. The LaLiga schedule also gives a certain advantage to the ‘cul\u00e9s’, with 4 matches at home and 3 away.<\/p> Against Celta, Hansi Flick will recover Dani Olmo,<\/strong> absent against Girona (4-1), Betis (1-1) and Legan\u00e9s (0-1). The attacking midfielder played 4 minutes on Tuesday against Dortmund and hopes to continue gaining rhythm to arrive at the Copa final in top form.<\/p>
