Barcelona will aim to maintain their perfect start to the new La Liga season as they prepare to face Real Valladolid on Saturday. With three consecutive wins in their first three matches, the Catalan club heads into the match riding high after a midweek 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano, in which new signing Dani Olmo made an immediate impact by scoring a late winner after coming off the bench.
Currently, Barcelona leads La Liga, holding a four-point advantage over rivals Real Madrid. In contrast, Real Valladolid, who have recently been promoted, have had a mixed start to the season, securing a win against Espanyol and a draw with Leganes, but suffering a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid. However, their performance in that match suggested they could pose a challenge to Barcelona.
The match will take place at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, with kickoff scheduled for 5 p.m. CEST local time, 11 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. PT in the US, 4 p.m. in the UK, and 1 a.m. AEST in Australia on Sunday.
