Barcelona requires a victory over Elche, in the sixth round of LaLiga Santander, to become the temporary leader. The 'Azulgranas' established themselves with absolute control of the game, taking advantage of the expulsion of the opposing team, but the goal came at the 34th minute, through Robert Lewandowski. Then, Memphis Depay increased the score.
The goal from Xavi Hernandez's team came after a good attack on the right, which gradually moved to the left. Pedri's intervention was crucial, as he enabled Alejandro Balde, who made a low cross: the Polish forward was left free and finished easily.
As the clock approached the 41st minute, the 'Culés' advanced on the left flank and Alejandro Balde had possession of the ball, analyzing how to continue the attack. Finally, the left-back decided to enable the Dutchman, who was facing away from the goal defended by Édgar Badía.
Memphis Depay received the ball, held off the mark of John Chetauya, and turned to his right to take a shot. The talented forward managed to position himself for his left foot and finished powerfully, to the top part of the goal, multiplying the joy of the fans present at the Camp Nou.
If the result is achieved, Barcelona will temporarily be the leader of LaLiga Santander, with 16 points, surpassing Real Madrid, who has 15 and must face Atletico Madrid; while Elche remains at the bottom of the standings (20th), with only one point.
