Amid all the turbulence surrounding Barcelona over the summer as well as the untimely departure of Neymar, it was predicted that the Blaugrana would endure another difficult campaign but that has not proven to be the case.

Ernesto Valverde has steadied the ship for Barcelona since arriving over the summer and although the Catalans are not playing their usual swashbuckling style, they are quietly picking up the desired results.

As a testament to this fact, Barcelona has managed to establish a sizeable 6 point lead at the top of the table with a game in hand and they look well on course of lifting the La Liga title this season.

While it would be tempting to already crown Barcelona as the champions, they still cannot afford to get complacent and in order to make progress towards the crown, Valverde’s men will need to claim a good result when they square off against rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu this weekend.

Rafinha, Ousmane Dembélé, Arda Turan, Gerard Deulofeu, Samuel Umtiti and Francisco Alcacer are all ruled out ahead of the clash for Barcelona due to injuries.
