Barcelona are set to continue their quest to stay at the top of La Liga when they take on Real Betis on Saturday night at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
The Blaugrana come into the match with high spirits after securing a 1-0 victory against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, booking a spot in the final.
Barcelona has been on an impressive run, with an undefeated 2025 so far in all competitions.
With the league title within reach, Hansi Flick’s side is looking to extend their unbeaten streak and maintain their hold at the top.
While they have dominated their opponents, injuries have also kept their squad on edge, with several key players sidelined at various points this season.
Ahead of the crucial match against Real Betis, Barcelona has received some encouraging news.
Gavi, Inigo Martinez, and Andreas Christensen all trained normally with the squad after recovering from their respective injuries, as reported by Jijantes.
Gavi, who was forced to sit out the Atletico Madrid clash due to knee discomfort during warm-up, is expected to return to the squad.
Martinez, who had muscle overload issues following the semi-final, is also expected to be in the matchday squad.
Christensen, who has been struggling with a calf injury for almost a month, has rejoined full training but his participation in Saturday’s match is uncertain, as the medical team will have the final say on his fitness.
The stakes are high for Barcelona as they look to keep pace with their rivals.
With Real Madrid set to play earlier in the day, the Catalans will be keeping a close eye on the result at the Bernabeu.
Should Los Blancos drop points, Barcelona will be in prime position to extend their lead with a win against Betis.
The match promises to be a significant test for Flick’s side as they aim to maintain their impressive form and continue their charge toward La Liga glory.
