A hard-fought win over third-place Getafe on Saturday combined with Real Madrid’s shocking draw against Celta Vigo on Sunday made it a happy weekend for Barcelona. The teams had seven days to rest and prepare for its league game against Eibar and if Madrid drops points again this weekend, a win will put Barça back on top.
However, serious accusations against club president Josep Maria Bartomeu regarding an alleged online smear campaign against club legends, political opponents and even superstar Lionel Messi made this an ugly week for a club seemingly unable to avoid bad news at the moment. The players and coaches have had to do their best to avoid distractions and will try to win the game on the field. Thankfully for Barça, it’s playing Eibar, who is fighting against relegation. The Catalans are big favorites, but if they can’t win, things will start to get dark at Camp Nou.
