The leaders of La Liga, Barcelona, are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they compete against Girona in Montjuic.
Hansi Flick’s team achieved an early return from March International Pause on Thursday evening when they defeated Osasuna 3-0 in their shifted league game. Early goals from Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo gave the tone before the replacement of Robert Lewandowski completed the work in the middle of the second half.
This victory means that Barca is three points ahead of Real Madrid before the weekend campaign. They are still unbeaten in 2025 and play a sparkling football.
Girona, the surprise package of last season, hopes to reset after the international break. Michel’s team is profitless in six La league excursions and dropped to 13th place in the table after spending a large part of the season in the upper half.
The 4-1 win of Barca in September in September launched the paths for both sides in 2024/25.
