Barcelona will face off against Girona on Monday, February 16, at 3 p.m. ET (noon PT), in a crucial encounter for both teams. The match, taking place at the Estadi Montilivi in Catalonia, marks a significant moment for the visiting Blaugrana, who will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal. That loss has placed more pressure on them, especially as title rivals Real Madrid earned a convincing 4-1 victory over their opponent on Saturday, pushing Barcelona down to second place in the La Liga standings.
Girona, on the other hand, is also in desperate need of points as they sit just two points above the relegation zone, currently in 15th place, and are on a three-match winless streak. This match presents an opportunity for both squads to reclaim valuable momentum in the league.
