La Liga Santander Matchday 11

Venue: Camp Nou

Referee: Javier Alberola Rojas

The Real Valladolid returns to battle away from home, this time against league champions FC Barcelona. It will be a match, in which the Pucelano team must be very intense and focused to get something out of the Camp Nou.

After a weekend without El Clasico,

Barcelona are back in action on Tuesday as they take on Real Valladolid at the Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona comes into this match after a 0-3 victory over Eibar and 4-0 over Sevilla. But, the Catalans do not arrive at their best, they suffered a lot against the Slavia of Prague at the UEFA Champions League matchday 3. They got the 2-1 victory with 24 shots.

The postponement of the Classic against Real Madrid causes the Barcelona team to have a week off, which is very good for the players when they should have three days like everyone else.

Barcelona has maintained a 4 winning streak after losing 2:0 to Granada FC in their last 5 league games.

The Pucela which occupied the 8th position on the LaLiga table with 14 points from 10 league matches comes in from a streak of five games without losing, two wins and three draws. Therefore, the pucelano set comes to this meeting with nine (9) points from the last 15, a very good dynamic.

The Pucela seeks the assault on Camp Nou

Real Vallodolid has faced the Barcelona 43 times in its field, and were only punctuated 8 times ( 2 wins and 6 draws ). The last one of them last season, in which Masip stopped Messi's penalty.

However, the following year, Real Valladolid scored for the first time in Catalan lands (2-2). A tie that would be repeated two years later ( 1951-1952 ), although this time it was goalless (0-0).

Thirty-six years later, Real Valladolid defeated FC Barcelona for the first time in its stadium and 2-4. Vicente Cantatore was the coach of the Valladolid team at the time and Manolo Peña scored a hat-trick.

The following year (1988-1989), Real Valladolid was once again a stone in the path of the Barça block and obtained a point in its fief ( 0-0). However, another nine years (1997-1998) should pass until the bag was refilled after visiting Barcelona. Real Valladolid would add their second and last victory at Camp Nou (1-2) thanks to the goals scored by Eusebio and Peternac.

One course later, in 1998-1999, Real Valladolid would make a return on his visit to Camp Nou after a draw. A loot that would be repeated in the 2002-2003 (0-0) and 2003-2004 (1-1) campaigns.

The call of FC Barcelona is: Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, Piqué, I. Rakitic, Sergio, Todibo, Suárez, Messi, Neto, Lenglet, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, Aleñá, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Vidal, C. Pérez and Ansu Fati.

They have the casualties of Dembelé for sanction, Umtiti for injury and Arthur for technical decision.

Real Vallodolid

Sergio González has listed 18 players for the third game of the season: Masip, Lunin, Beard, Olivas, Antoñito, Nacho, Porro, Salisu, Anuar, Alcaraz, Joaquín, Míchel, De Frutos, Hervías, Plano, Waldo, Ünal and Guardiola

The major casualties still remain Sandro and San Emeterio Fede, who are both in the final phase of their recovery and by rest and technical decision they have Moyano, Toni Villa and Aguado.

Sergio will line up almost 5-3-2 formation to deal the Barcelona super attackers. The fall of Moyano from the call leads to the entry of Porro in the starting eleven. With this 5-3-2 formation Joaquín would act as a central midfielder and Anuar or Alcaraz would accompany Míchel in the middle. Plano would be placed in the midfielder with freedom of movement and the attacking force will be lead by Unal and Guardiola. The Pucela will be presented at the Camp Nou with a good run and desire to continue adding.
