RS vs BAR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
If this season was a script written by a Barcelona fan, then this could have been the game where Catalan giants complete their unbeaten, a feat no team in La Liga’s history managed to achieve. However, Ernesto Valverde’s team scuppered the chance at the most inopportune time as they lost 5-4 in the 37th game of the season against Levante last weekend.
Lionel Messi was rested in that game and it seemed a right decision before last week’s match considering how much efforts the 5-times Ballon d’Or has put in this season. But the fact that Barca opted to travel to South Africa this week for some friendly match didn’t go down well with their fans who were more interested in completing an unbeaten run than some goodwill mission in Africa.
Now all the focus will turn towards Andres Iniesta as this will be the last time that the 2010 World Cup final scorer will be seen in a Barcelona shirt.
It has been quite a strange season in many respects in Barcelona and even another league cup and double hasn’t been enough to keep many punters happy. It’s fair to say they’ve had a far better campaign than Real Sociedad though. The Basques failed to make much impact in Europe and have failed to come close to threatening to get back into the Europa League through the league. Some decent late-season form under Imanol Alguacil has though at least salvaged some pride and they could even end up with a top half finish if they can get something from this game.
