Barcelona Aims for Fourth Straight Win, Putting Pressure on Rivals

Barcelona is poised to enter the first international break of LaLiga as the undisputed leader, aiming to further pressure Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid with a victory against Valladolid this Saturday. After a stellar debut with a goal against Rayo Vallecano, Dani Olmo is expected to start for Barcelona. The absence of Marc Bernal, a key midfielder in Barcelona’s early season success, will require a tactical adjustment, likely with Ferran Torres missing out as Olmo takes his place. Meanwhile, Valladolid aims to replicate their performance against Real Madrid last week, where they held the reigning champions for a half. Pezzolano’s team will be looking to exploit any opportunities that arise, with the first goal likely to be decisive in the match. Barcelona is eager to reach the international break on a high, maintaining their lead and increasing the pressure on their rivals.
