On the other hand, the azulgrana club, led by the Spaniard, Xavi Hernandez, has had a rather irregular balance in this first half of the season since in LaLiga, they started well, but no better than Girona and Real Madrid who are currently the leaders of the Spanish league and lead by 8 points to the fourth place which is occupied by Barcelona.
In the local league, the Barcelona accumulates 41 points that has it in the fourth site of the classification (by goal difference) recording 12 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. In the other tournament disputed, the Champions League, the culé team managed to qualify as first in the group to settle in the round of 16 where they will face the Italians Napoli.
However, despite having qualified for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, the Catalan team is coming from a difficult moment such as the elimination of the Supercopa against Real Madrid with a drubbing, so if they want to continue climbing positions, they need a victory.
