With three wins from their opening three fixtures, Barcelona will be hoping to continue their bright start to the new La Liga season as they host Real Valladolid on Saturday.
After registration-delayed start to his Barcelona career, new signing Dani Olmo made the perfect debut in midweek, coming off the bench to fire home a late winner for the Blaugrana in their 1-2 away victory at Rayo Vallecano — a result which puts them top of La Liga and four points clear of big rivals Real Madrid.
Next up for Barca is a Real Valladolid side that have given a good account of themselves since getting promoted. A win against Espanyol and draw with Leganes came either side of a 3-0 defeat to defending champs Real Madrid. That scoreline didn’t tell the whole story of that game, with Paolo Pezzolano’s side giving as good as they got for large periods of that encounter, indicating that Barcelona may not have it their own way today.
Barcelona take on Real Valladolid at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday, Aug. 31. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. CEST local time, making it a 11 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. PT start in the US; an 4 p.m. start in the UK and a 1 a.m. AEST kick off in Australia on Sunday.
