The substitution of Alexia Putellas at the break of FC Barcelona’s match against Benfica in the premiere of the 20023-24 Champions League caused initial uncertainty among Barcelona fans that subsequently disappeared. The great culé captain is in good form a few days before the champions of all host Real Madrid this Sunday at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic (12 noon/DAZN) in League F. For the Clásico, according to RAC1, he is already at 25,000. the seats have been sold and it is expected that as the day of the most publicized match approaches, the emblematic venue will present a look that will be difficult to improve.
The most important thing is that the concern that arose with the substitution of Alexia Putellas was stopped in the following hours, because the coach of Barça, Jonatan Giráldez, pointed out that “Alexia had some discomfort.” In the midst of his football development, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner left that injury in his left knee, the same place where he suffered a serious injury at the beginning of last season.
The inertia of the Barça team continues to be consistent with its status as the favorite for another season in demand. The 5-0 against Benfica in Johan Cruyff proved that Barça are in a good moment to welcome Real Madrid in the main match of the F League. It will be a tough test against the merengue team, who will start the competition this Wednesday in the European Championship in Valdebebas against Chelsea (9 pm/DAZN) in Group D. Next Wednesday they will defend the lead when they visit Eintracht Frankfurt , their biggest rival in the league. Reigning champions of the Champions League, Barça have started on the right foot on their path to a third crown in their history, although the San Mamés final is still a long way off.
This Wednesday, (5:00 pm/Teledeporte) the draw for the round of 16 of the Queen’s Cup will take place in Las Rozas, with Barça and Real Madrid in the hype.
