    La Liga 2023-24: Barcelona Eye Chance To Close Gap On Top Two

    By IANS News February 10, 2024 • 19:52 PM View: 1358
    Spanish La Liga: Currently placed third with 50 points from 23 matches, FC Barcelona are set to face what appears to be a manageable home game on Sunday, as they host La Liga's Granada at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic with a possibility to move closer to the top two.

    Barcelona will know the outcome of Saturday's match between leaders Real Madrid and second-placed Girona before they take the field on Sunday. If Girona win, then Barca could have the chance to close the gap on the top of the table to six points, while a win for Real Madrid would leave Girona just three points ahead of Xavi Hernandez's side if they beat Granada, reports Xinhua.

    Consecutive wins have helped some confidence return to Barca in the wake of their Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Bilbao and the 5-3 loss at home to Villarreal, which led Xavi to confirm he will step down at the end of the season. Despite injuries sidelining Ferran Torres, Gavi, Joao Felix, Alejandro Balde, Marcos Alonso, and Sergi Roberto, along with Vitor Roque's suspension, there is positive news for Barcelona. Defender Inigo Martinez and winger Raphinha have returned to fitness.
