Barcelona
In this season the Spanish championship appears to be very interesting and it is absolutely unclear before the 22nd round what club will be the champion and what club will get into the zone of Euro cups.
Barcelona heads the standings but Atletico and Real have every chance to catch up with Catalans for the remained tournament distance. Therefore the football players of Ernesto Valverde can’t relax and lose points as the rivals don’t doze.
The Catalan club is going to build a series of eight wins in a row, plus Messi and the company have made impressive comeback in the Cup duel against Sevilla, having won back after away match loss (0:2, 6:1).
Now Barcelona has minimum squad difficulties which the Catalan club can simply forget. Dembélé, Umtiti and Rafinha whom it is difficult to call irreplaceable football players are injured. All leaders of Barcelona stay in the excellent form and in the good game tone.
Coutinho who is becoming more and more significant figure in the squad of Ernesto Valverde (two goals in the match against Sevilla in frames of the Copa del Rey) is simply amazing on the football ground, Messi, Suarez and Busquets are great as usual.
València
This is an interesting Spanish club to which many predicted participation in the fight for medals this season but Valencia has completely failed the first part of the championship. Now Marcelino’s players are trying to return the lost positions, having already climbed on the seventh line in the standings of the championship.
Valencia didn’t lose in three last rounds but it is still far (a lag of 7 points) from the Champions League. Under the supervision of Marcelino Valencia is playing strict, defensive football which can be hardly pleasant to fans of this Spanish club.
The last years’ transfer policy of Valencia causes many complaints from experts and fans of this football club as the majority of expensive purchases made by the Bats didn’t bring the expected benefit. We can mention the players who are leaders in team now: Rodrigo, Pareja, Gayá, Gabriel and Soler.
