Barcelona Eyes 97 Points in Valencia Clash
23 May
Summary
- Champions Barcelona aim for 97 points in their final match.
- Valencia seeks a Conference League spot with a win.
- Valencia faces injuries to key players before the game.
Barcelona, having secured their 29th La Liga title, is set to visit Mestalla to play Valencia this Saturday. The champions are aiming to conclude their dominant season with a victory that would bring their points total to 97.
This fixture follows a mixed recent run for Barcelona, who celebrated their league triumph with a city-wide parade but then experienced an unexpected defeat against Alavés. This loss served as a reminder that the season's conclusion still requires focused performance on the road.
Valencia, under Carlos Corberán, has shown a significant turnaround from earlier relegation concerns. They have secured three wins in their last five matches and are now contenders for a UEFA Conference League spot. Their European aspirations hinge on beating Barcelona and favorable results from other weekend fixtures.
Valencia's preparations have been hampered by injuries, with several key players, including José Luis Gayà and José Copete, not participating in team training this week. This leaves their squad with limited options for the crucial season finale.
