Pre-match review

After a series of 5 consecutive wins, Barcelona suddenly slowed down when they lost 1-2 at home to PSG, then continued to lose 1-4 to Sevilla. These two stumbles were a wake-up call for coach Hansi Flick and his students to realize that Barca is still far from perfect.

The Catalan team is so engrossed in attacking that they sometimes forget the importance of defense.

Fortunately for Barca, in the next round they only have to face weak opponents Girona - a team that is struggling at the bottom of the table despite just beating Valencia 2-1. Since parting ways with striker Artem Dovbyk and midfielder Yangel Herrera, Girona has not been able to maintain the form that helped them finish in the top 3 last season.

They went through 8 matches with only draws and losses before their first victory. With the current correlation, Barca can completely aim for a big win to regain their spirit.
