As LaLiga Santander gets ready for its 25th match day, FC Barcelona faces a complicated visit to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán just four days after the goalless draw in Lyon, an unconvincing win against a weakened Real Valladolid in LaLiga and three other consecutive draws prior to that.
Barça now have to face Sevilla FC who only managed just one win in their last eight league matches. The Sevillians also come from a tough defeat against Villarreal (3-0) and are on a mission to go back to winning ways now that Pablo Machin’s job has come under question and the team is in real danger of slipping out of the Champions League spots as both Getafe and Alavés are snapping at their heels just one point behind.
