Spanish Football League: Murcia Vs Barcelona

May 17

Barcelona is going to host mid-table Real Murcia on their next league match. Barcelona is currently seven points behind the league leader Real Madrid with 37 points. So, a win against Murcia will lessen the gap up to three points, though not permanently ahead of Real Madrid’s Sunday clash against Levante. On the other hand, Real Murcia occupies the ninth place in the league standing with 22 points to their credit. They are not in the title race, but have the goal to finish the season with higher positions in the league point table.

Barcelona has been held to a 1-1 draw against Sevilla on Wednesday. However, they have won their first league match of this year against Real Malorca. After their home defeat to Real Madrid before Christmas, Barcelona has no way to afford any slip up, if they want to retain the league title. Still, they are seven points behind their arch rival in the championship race and they have to wait for Real Madrid losing points in order to decrease the gap. The match will be held at the Barcelona home ground, Camp Nou on Saturday.
