Barcelona’s match against Athletic Bilbao was decided by a goalless draw, which brought together the two teams on Sunday evening at San Mames Stadium, the home base of Bilbao, in the 27th round of the Spanish League.
Although Barcelona lost only two points in this draw, it will lose the services of coach Xavi Hernandez in its next match against Real Mallorca, which is scheduled to be played next Friday in the twenty-eighth round, in addition to defender Ronald Araujo.
The match also witnessed Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo receiving a yellow card in the 32nd minute, and thus he will miss the match against Real Mallorca due to suspension. Coach Xavi Hernandez also received a yellow card from the match referee due to objection, and he will also miss the match between Barcelona and Real Mallorca, due to suspension.
In addition, the midfield duo, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, suffered very severe injuries and were eliminated from the match, and it seems that the Catalan team will lose their services for a long time.
Barcelona’s formation was as follows: Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen / Defense: Joel Kounde, Araujo, Cobarci, Cancelo, Christensen / Midfield: Gundogan, De Jong, Pedri / Midfield: Rafinha, Lewandowski.
With this result, Barcelona occupies third place in the Spanish League standings during the current season with 58 points, behind Real Madrid and Girona, who are in first and second places respectively, while Athletic Bilbao is in fifth place with 50 points.
Barcelona had achieved a broad victory in the last round of La Liga over its guest Getafe, with a clean score, as the sons of coach Xavi Hernandez seek to continue his victories in the competition, in order to tighten the noose on his traditional rival, Real Madrid, who is in the lead.
The match tonight is the third between the two teams during the current season in various competitions, as Barça achieved victory in the first round match of La Liga with a clean goal, while the Basque team succeeded in eliminating the Catalan team from the quarter-finals by defeating it with a score of 4-2.
