Four days will have passed since the European debacle and the azulgrana team has had time to regroup and recover their spirits to face the final stretch of the League to ensure at least second place in the championship. To do this, the azulgrana team has a relatively affordable rival to try to regain the path of victory against Cadiz, struggling to get out of the relegation zone. The azulgrana already have the experience of the first leg, where they tied, but before another week with three consecutive games, Xavi will have to manage his resources.
Although in defense, the Egarense coach has little to choose from. Pique and Umtiti still injured and Ronald Araujo He will not be able to be in due to suspension since he saw the fifth yellow card in the last league game against Levante. Thus, the sides seem clear, with Dani Alves and Jordi Alba, although on the right he has already returned Sergiño Destbut it seems that the experience of the Brazilian can prevail in the situation in which the team is.
In the center of the field will not be Pedri due to injury, so Xavi Hernandez will have to choose Busquetsfor now irreplaceable, Frenkie de Jongwho started on the bench against Eintracht and Gaviwhile it will have as alternatives to Nico Gonzalez y Riqui Puig waiting his turn in the band.
Up front, it is where there may be more unknowns seeing what is coming this week: the always complicated start in Anoeta and the match against Rayo that should serve to cut Madrid and widen the distance with the zone rivals Champions. Given this context, Xavi has the trident made up of Dembélé, Aubameyang and Ferran Torresbut after losing to Eintracht they wait their turn Memphiswho has not been a starter since he reappeared from the injury, Adama, who has lost prominence in recent commitments, Luke de Jong, solution for the second part and the unnoticed Braithwaite. Rotations are expected.
