How will Barcelona react on the pitch to Enrique’s desire to step down?
This will be Barcelona’s first game since Luis Enrique announced he will be leaving the Blaugrana once this season ends. After thrashing Sporting Gijon 6-1, the Asturian boss dropped confirmation that this will be his last campaign with the Catalan giants after weeks of speculation.
It will be interesting to see how the players react on the pitch. The manager, despite the success he achieved at Camp Nou, will leave the players to a new manager.
Of course, Barcelona cannot stumble on Saturday. The defending Spanish Primera Division champions are back in the lead, and have been handed a lifeline in the title race when everything appeared lost.
Real Madrid drew 3-3 with Las Palmas in their last game, which resulted in the Catalan giants heading into this round with a one-point lead. Los Blancos still have a game in-hand.
It remains to be seen whether Enrique might rest a few players, given that their Champions League clash with PSG is coming up. Nonetheless, the manager has been boosted by the return of Arda Turan.
Barcelona will be without two players, however: Andre Gomes and Jeremy Mathieu. The Portuguese midfielder has been dropped from the squad due to illness, whilst the French defender misses out due to a sprained ankle.
