Barcelona was eliminated in the first phase of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana after drawing against Wanderers and now they will have to give their all next Sunday to win Stage 1 of the LigaPro.
Although they are currently leading with 27 points, there are three teams that could take away the leadership in the last matchday: Universidad Católica, Independiente del Valle, and Liga de Quito, all with one point less. If they don't win against Cumbayá and one of these teams triumphs, they would end the semester empty-handed for Jorge Célico's team.
What is concerning for Célico's team is that they haven't won in their last 5 matches in both competitions. In the Copa, they didn't qualify and they will have to break the streak if they want to achieve their goal in the local championship.
Since the match against Liga, Barcelona has accumulated 3 defeats, 5 draws, and 3 victories. On Sunday, they will depend on themselves to be able to be crowned and end the semester on a high note.
