Barcelona 3-2 Almeria: Barca's defending champions are not in good form It's a game, a game that should not be underestimated.
In the early morning of December 21, Beijing time, in the 18th round of La Liga, Barcelona hosted Almeria.
It hasn't been a smooth season for Barca as they have failed to win their previous two games, so they desperately need a win in this game to salvage their slump.
The opponent Almeria, who is currently very low in the standings and the only team in the top five leagues that has not won so far, is in an extremely difficult situation.
In addition, this match has a special meaning for Barcelona - it is the team's final game of the year, and they hope to take all three points in this game to draw a happy end for the fans and the club.
The game kicked off with a 33rd minute of the first half, when Barcelona's Raphinha broke the deadlock with a follow-up shot to give the team the lead.
However, Almeria didn't rest on their laurels and in the 37th minute, their Baptistang equalised with a solo shot. Just before the end of the first half, Roberto scored with a header to help Barcelona take the lead again.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Almeria equalized again.
But just as the game was about to end, Roberto scored again to help Barcelona beat Almeria 3-2 and eventually won the game.
In this game, Barcelona's performance can be said to be unforgiving.
But even so, the team's defence was still a problem, and by the end of the game, they had conceded 21 goals, a figure that had already surpassed the total number of goals conceded in La Liga last season. It is worth noting that this is also the lowest attendance at Barcelona at home this season, with only 34,471 fans in attendance, which may indicate the dissatisfaction of fans with the team's performance.
However, after the game, Barcelona reached 38 points, overtaking Atletico Madrid with one more game and returning to third place. At the same time, they are only six points away from Girona at the top of the table, and there is still some hope of winning the title. Overall, although the match was victorious, they still faced many challenges and difficulties for the defending champions. Hopefully, the team can find their form in the next games and show their strength.
