Barcelona leads the La Liga standings with 62 points, 6 points ahead of its nearest rivals Real Madrid, who narrowed the gap by beating Espanyol 3-1 today, Saturday, at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcelona will face Athletic Bilbao tomorrow, Sunday, in San Mames, in the twenty-fifth round matches, and if he succeeds in winning, the difference between him and Real Madrid will return to 9 points in the lead struggle.
Barcelona is playing this season in the league and cup championships as its last hope to regain the championships again, after it was eliminated from the group stage in the European Champions League and failed to reach the round of 16 of the European League after the defeat against Manchester United.
Returning to the match against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga tomorrow, the Catalan newspaper Sport warned that four players from Barcelona are threatened with absence from facing Real Madrid in El Clasico on March 19 in the 26th round of the Spanish Premier League.
The four players are: Sergio Busquets, Franck Kessé, Ferran Torres and Rafinha. Each player has 4 yellow cards, and if he gets the fifth card, he will miss El Clasico due to the accumulation of cards.
The four players are likely to start in Barcelona’s starting line-up against Athletic Bilbao due to injury-plaguing absences.
