If Real Madrid defeats Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, they would replace Barcelona as leaders of La Liga. However, the Catalans would regain their advantage if they defeat Leganés 24 hours later, as they seek only their second victory in six league games.
Barcelona will be without Hansi Flick on the Estadi Olimpic bench as he begins a two-match suspension following his expulsion during last week’s 2-2 draw against Real Betis. According to MD, he spoke about the issue during his press conference.
“My reaction was not good, that’s clear. I tried to talk to Frenkie. I don’t want us to complain about the referees. I don’t want to waste energy on this thing that we can’t change. You have to accept the decisions. It has been a hard blow, but we have to accept it. Maybe I should work on my behavior.
“I just arrived and it’s a different league. I only ask that they always whistle the same, in the same way. I accept the sanction. But we must play better. What I want, and what they do, is not to complain to the referees. It’s different from a few years ago. Our philosophy is to do what we can do. The referees can also improve. “We are human people and we make mistakes.”
Flick is expected to make significant changes for Sunday’s match, in which Ronald Araujo could make his first appearance of the season. He confirmed that the Barcelona defender is ready for action.
“It is normal that when you come back from an injury you need some time before returning to the highest level. Ansu has trained with the team. And Christensen. Araujo can play, it is a step forward. It’s in good shape. All the physical work is very good.”
