Barcelona will have a meaningful derby match, this match is a decisive match for the Blaugrana while Espanyol is very ambitious to delay the victory party of their city rivals and also aiming for points to leave the relegation zone.
But for this edition of the derby, I still favor Barcelona. This season the opponents facing Barcelona are in poor performance and they are even very difficult to get out of the relegation zone. Besides that, this derby match is also the last derby for Basquest because he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season. Given that, the Barca retainer will certainly give the most beautiful farewell gift to his captain.
I think Barcelona doesn't care about anything anymore. One thing that Barcelona needs to focus on right now is their finances, they did some wild moves last season to build this team, but they can't keep this team going, some of the players will want a raise and the more contracts that end, the bigger trouble they will be in and they will have to constantly end up getting new players when old ones leave and they are going to have hard time doing that.
Paying for players was a mistake, they paid Torres 50 million the moment Xavi got there and that was a money they couldn't afford to spend already. The only thing to care about right now is economy and if they can do better job of that and recover, that may get a lot better for them.
