He Girona and the real Madrid They did not fail and their respective victories against Rayo Vallecano (1-2) and Valencia (4-0) injected an extra dose of pressure on Barcelona. The Blaugrana team will go out to play against Alavés (4:15 p.m.) demanded by their own circumstances and also by the seven and five points advantage that provisionally separates them from the first two classified teams.
Barça receives Alavés at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc with the obligation to put a stop to the bad dynamics in which it has been involved as a consequence of the two defeats that he has fit in his last three official commitments, before the real Madrid and the Shakhtar Donetsk.
Both results add to the doubts left by the Blaugrana’s very discreet match against Real Sociedad, even though the result did suit them then. Xavi Hernández is perfectly aware that it is time to grit his teeth and recover the good vibes that became common in the first thirteen games of the season.
Two wins in a row
The visit of Alavés It is presented as an excellent opportunity, despite the fact that the babazorros have regained their smile after chaining two consecutive victories against the team for the first time this season. Almeria in the League and Deportivo Murcia in the Cup, thus putting an end to a streak of seven consecutive games without winning.
The outlook is not very favorable for Barça after Real Madrid settled their commitment against Valencia by adding the three points and Girona did the same a few hours earlier during their visit to the Vallecas Stadium.
Girona went to sleep as leader for one more day with the certainty that no one will be able to take them off that pedestal during the next fifteen days due to the last national team break of the year. The team he leads Michel chained its sixth consecutive victory after signing a commendable comeback in the field of Rayo Vallecano thanks to the goals of Dovbyk and Sáviowhich made sterile the early initial goal of Alvaro Garcia.
The 1-2 final score puts the white and red team in an ideal situation to face the rest of the championship, since the 34 points that they treasure at this moment allow them to dream of much more ambitious goals than simple salvation.
Without Bellingham
For its part, the Madrid team ruthlessly beat Valencia yesterday thanks to goals from Carvajal, Vinicius (2) and Rodrygoand he didn’t even miss his most decisive player, Jude Bellinghamwho watched the game sitting comfortably in the stands due to the problems he has in his left shoulder.
The targets remain two points away from the Girona, although they will have to wait until November 26 to try to regain the lead. That day they will visit Cadizwhile Girona will receive the Athletic in Montilivi.
The team of Carlo Ancelotti Thus he forgot his last setback against Rayo and regained his good feelings in the League.
