Barcelona are set for an important test on Monday as they travel to face Girona in Matchday 24 of the Spanish La Liga season.
The Catalan side head into the fixture under pressure, needing a victory to keep pace in the title race. Real Madrid strengthened their position after a convincing 4–1 win over Real Sociedad, leaving Barcelona with little margin for error as they chase the top spot.
Match Date and Kick-Off Time
The match will be played on Monday, February 16, at Estadi Montilivi, Girona’s home ground.
Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 PM (23:00) Doha and Mecca time, and 12:00 AM (00:00) Abu Dhabi time.
Live Broadcast
The game will be broadcast on beIN SPORTS.
Expected Barcelona Lineup
Head coach Hansi Flick is expected to field the following lineup:
Garcia, Koundé, Cubarsí, Balde, Casadó, Fermín, Olmo, Rashford, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski.
Expected Girona Lineup
Paulo Gazzaniga; Arnau Martínez, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Hugo Rincón; Fran Beltrán, Thomas Lemar, Iván Martín; Bryan Gil, Vladyslav Vanat, Viktor Tsygankov.
Flick Demands Full Focus
Flick has urged his players to stay fully concentrated and secure all three points to maintain pressure at the top of the standings.
Girona, meanwhile, are aware of the challenge ahead but remain determined to claim a positive result that could improve their league position. The team currently sits 12th with 26 points.
After a strong start to the year, winning three consecutive league matches, Girona’s momentum has slowed. They are winless in their last three outings, recording two draws and one defeat, most recently a 1–1 draw against Sevilla.
