Elche vs. Barcelona live stream: Where to watch online
Barcelona will meet Elche on Saturday after playing the final match of the UEFA Champions League league stage on Wednesday, when the Hansi Flick-coached team finished in the top eight and avoided the playoffs, unlike La Liga rivals Real Madrid, who lost to Benfica. Barcelona are one point ahead of Real Madrid and must win on Saturday to increase their gap with their competitors, as Flick mentioned in the pre-match press conference. “In the first round they had more possession. Eder Sarabia did a fantastic job and I like the way his team plays. They are brave and create a lot of chances. I like to analyze them and watch how they play. There is still a long way to go until the end of the season and we have to take it game by game… La Liga is a big competition and we will fight until the end, just like Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid or Villarreal.”
