BarcelonaLa Cartuja in Seville. It is the first stop of an intense and demanding week for Barça. Hansi Flick's team will visit Real Betis' stadium this Saturday (6:30 PM) before heading to Paris to face PSG (Tuesday the 20th at 9:00 PM, Movistar Liga de Campeones) and hosting Real Madrid in the Clásico played at the Camp Nou (Sunday the 26th at 9:00 PM, DAZN). "The most important thing is to win this Saturday's match. They come in with confidence after good results and have very good players in attack," analyzed the German.
The coach confirmed that Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong will be available for the duel against Betis after recovering from their respective injuries. "If you ask him, he will tell you that he is ready to be a starter. But we have to take it step by step, many matches are coming up now," said the coach in reference to the Brazilian attacker. Regarding the Dutch footballer, Flick remarked on his satisfaction that he is back in a squad list. "He is a great player and one more option that we can use."
The blue and reds have managed to maintain the good momentum from before the international break. The triumphs against Getafe (3-0) and on the Galatasaray pitch (1-4) allow them to reach ten consecutive victories and continue with the positive sensations in this start of the season.
For their part, Betis also arrive with good sensations after the European comeback. The team managed by Manuel Pellegrini has won eight of the ten matches it has played this season, with only one defeat –5-2 against Levante– and one draw –1-1 on the Deportivo de la Coruña pitch–. The green and whites came back on Wednesday against Porto to add their second victory in the Champions League (3-2).
