With a lot of fatigue and several players with discomfort after two intense weeks in which they have managed to maintain their full of victories in the League (21) and eliminate Manchester City in a complicated tie to qualify for the semifinal of the Champions League, Barça women You need a break, but the only thing that the calendar offers you is another game of the highest demand. The team of Lluís Cortés receives at the Johan Cruyff Stadium (12 hours, Barça TV) second-placed Levantem in the Iberdrola League First Division.
The difference between the two teams in the table is remarkable, 9 real points and the possibility that they are 18 because Barça has played three fewer games, but Cuts and his footballers take it as a final to finish certifying the title before the national team stoppage and what will come after, with that passionate appointment against Lyon or PSG on April 24 and May 1 with a place in the final of the Champions at stake.
The Barça coach, due to the entity of a rival in form such as Levante, who takes four points to third, Real Madrid, and who has chained seven games without losing, will make fewer rotations than last weekend in Seville before traveling to Manchester, but has several doubts. Asisat oshoala y Caroline Graham Hansen They ended up changed due to injury in the Champions League and, although they have nothing serious, the normal thing is that they do not play today. In fact, yesterday they did not train with the group. AND Jennifer Hermoso y Kheira Hamraoui, low last Wednesday, they did work yesterday, but logic would advise that they do not start. Cuts did not give a list that will be known shortly before the crash.

Another great incentive for Barça women will be the return of the public to the Johan Cruyff Stadium. 399 days after the last match with fans, he will meet again with the 1,000 fans who sold out in just 6 hours. “Without fans we are nobody, we really want to feel our people again and in our stadium,” he confessed Sandra Cloths.
