Barcelona will be aiming to maintain their lead at the top of the La Liga table when they take on Real Betis on Saturday night at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
The Blaugrana are coming into the game on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, earning a place in the finals.
Having not lost a single match thus far in 2025 across all competitions, Barcelona will be eager to extend that streak on Saturday.
Three players back training normally after physical problems
According to Jijantes, three Barcelona stars – Gavi, Inigo Martinez, and Andreas Christensen, trained normally with the rest of the group ahead of the Real Betis clash.
Gavi did not play any minutes against Atletico Madrid after he suffered some discomfort in his knee during warm-up. Meanwhile, Martinez also ended the game with some muscle overload.
As for Christensen, he has recently returned to training after being sidelined with a calf problem for almost a month.
But, now, as per the report, all three players trained normally with the rest of the group ahead of tomorrow’s encounter against Real Betis.
It is likely that both Gavi and Martinez will be in the squad for the game but it remains to be seen whether Christensen is given the medical green light, given his lengthy absence due to injuries this season.
With Real Madrid set to play Valencia earlier on Saturday, the Catalans will have an eye on the result at the Bernabeu before they take on Real Betis, hoping to bag all three points and stay ahead in the race.
