The top positions in the table remain in this way: Barcelona 58, Real Madrid 56, Seville 50, Getafe 46, Real Sociedad 46, Atlético 45 and Valencia 43.
Barcelona will train with the best they have: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, De Jong; Messi, Luis Suárez and Griezmann. In addition, another one who returns to the fields is Luis Suarez, who underwent knee surgery 5 months ago and thanks to the pandemic gained recovery time.
Meanwhile, Mallorca, who needs to win to get out of relegation positions, had these eleven: Queen; Well, Valjent, Raíllo, Gámez; Dani Rodríguez, Baba, Salva Sevilla, Kubo; Budimir, Cucho.
La Pulga will try to score at least one goal to discount the difference it has with Robert Lewandowski, the Bayern Munich striker, who currently dominates the ranking of Europe’s top scorers (Messi scored 19 and Pole 30) to take the Golden Boot, award given to the top scorer in the world.
