The best team in Spain in the month of August looks to carry the momentum into their September-October schedule as Barcelona return from the first international break of the season for a huge stretch of games, starting with a monster local derby against Girona at the Montilivi Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Barça are top of the table four games into the season thanks to a perfect start that was capped off by a marvelous win over Valladolid, but the international window brought a few injury concerns and the Blaugrana usually struggle after their players go away with their nations for a fortnight, and on top of that they’ll face a Girona side that beat them twice in convincing fashion last season and are ready to make it three in a row against Catalonia’s biggest club.
