Barcelona Sets Its Goals for November to Narrow the Gap with Real Madrid
Barcelona's team, led by Hans Flick, is focusing on the month of November after a tough October, which saw the team lose three out of five matches, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".
The last defeat in El Clasico widened the gap with Real Madrid to five points, but the Catalan team is aiming to reduce this gap over the next four weeks.
In November, Barcelona will play four matches in La Liga and two in the UEFA Champions League. In the domestic league, the team will host three matches at home, the first against Elche next Sunday, then Athletic Bilbao on November 22, and finally Deportivo Alaves on November 29, which is currently the team with the least goals conceded in the tournament.
The only away match will be against Celta on November 9, which is the toughest in terms of performance, as Barcelona has only won one of its last four visits to Balaídos. In the UEFA Champions League, the team will face Club Brugge in Belgium on November 5, and then Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on November 25.
As for Real Madrid, they will play three away matches this month following their home match against Valencia next Saturday, where they will play against Rayo Vallecano, then meet Elche and Girona away, along with two away matches in the Champions League against Liverpool at Anfield and Olympiacos in Piraeus.
It is worth mentioning that Barcelona faced significant difficulties last November, winning only the derby against Espanyol, then losing to Real Sociedad, drawing with Celta, and losing to Las Palmas, making it crucial to capitalize on the upcoming matches to narrow the gap and maintain the team's ambitions in the league this season.
