Barcelona Look to Close the Gap in La Liga Title Race
Jakarta, xweb.biz.id – Barcelona will host Rayo Vallecano at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Monday, February 17, as they aim to keep pace with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the race for the La Liga title.
Hansi Flick’s side sits third in the standings, trailing leaders Real Madrid by three points and Atletico by two. The Catalan giants remain unbeaten in 2025, winning nine matches and drawing two, and have gained significant momentum in recent weeks.
Their recent goal-scoring spree has been remarkable, thrashing Valencia 7-1 in La Liga before another 5-0 rout in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. A 4-1 victory over Sevilla in their last outing further cemented their attacking dominance.
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano have been a surprise package this season, sitting sixth and pushing for a UEFA Conference League spot. They are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run, including a dramatic 3-3 draw against Real Madrid.
