Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. It has been a tough week for FC Barcelona fans since the Champions League defeat, and as a fan who has supported this club for over 15 years, it breaks my heart to see the team lose on that Tuesday night to Inter Milan. Barcelona was just two minutes away from the final before that foul on Gerard Martin, which led to Inter Milan equalising in the closing minutes. I am 100 per cent certain that Barcelona was robbed that night by poor refereeing decisions, and even though FIFA has said they won't be taking the referee and the VAR referees to the Club World Cup, it still doesn't make up for what happened on Tuesday night.
It pains me to even think about it, but it's all in the past, and I hope next season the boys will go harder again in the Champions League competition. Today is an important day for FC Barcelona as they will face their arch-rivals for the fourth time this season in La Liga. Today's match will definitely decide the tie for the La Liga title this season as both teams will push to get a win, but FC Barcelona still has an advantage of four points, as if they draw the match, they will still lead Real Madrid with four points but they can't afford to drop points until the season comes to an end.
FC Barcelona has been the better side this season on head to head start against Real Madrid. Barcelona has won two finals against Real Madrid and also beat the Galácticos at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Barcelona has been magnificent so far, thanks to Hansi Flick and the incredible efforts of the players. This match is of the utmost importance to Barcelona, and I am confident the boys will make sure they take all three points from the match this afternoon. There has been a little good news over the week as Balde has been given the medical treatment, so we could see him participate in the second half of the match.
It has been a tough week for the boys after the defeat against Inter Milan, but I just hope their winning mentality has not shaken. Lewandowski might not start today's match as there have been rumours that Hansi Flick doesn't want to rush the Polish striker. The time for rest is over, and Lewandowski should be starting this match today. Then, during the second half, Ferran Torres can be introduced into the match. Real Madrid will try to do everything to win this match to keep their hopes up for the league title, and since this will be Ancelotti's last El Clásico as Real Madrid manager, I am expecting to see the Madrid players give it their all in this match.
It is going to be an interesting match today, and I can't wait to see how it will go down between both teams. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by, and don't miss out on this match. Have a good day.
