Barcelona’s possible line-up for today’s LaLiga matchday-32 game vs Real Betis

INA - SOURCES 

The big day should be just around the corner, Barcelona fans. Xavi Hernández’s side hold an 11-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga, with 21 left to play for. 

Should the top two win each of their next few games, the Catalans would wrap up the league title by beating Real Sociedad at Camp Nou on 21 May, their fourth last league fixture of the 2022-23 season. 

Barça head into Saturday’s clash against Real Betis on their worst run of form of the season. They’ve won only one of their last five matches in all competitions, which includes a 4-0 Copa del Rey thrashing by arch-rivals Madrid at Camp Nou. 

In those games, they have scored only two goals (in their last two outings), the last of which wasn’t enough to prevent a defeat to Rayo Vallecano.

For Xavi and his side, however, Real Madrid’s minds are elsewhere, which seemed to be proved by their own midweek defeat to Girona. Los Blancos have a Copa del Rey final and a Champions League semi-final against Manchester City on the horizon, which may let Barcelona off the hook, even if their form fails to pick up.
