Barcelona look far from a league title race since the club are currently 4th with 41 points. Girona, the current league leader of La Liga, has 49 points, and Real Madrid is second with 48 points. Both Barca and Real Madrid have a game in hand since they competed in the Spanish Super Cup tournament.

After Barca's loss to Los Blancos, they will focus on their next game, which is a Copa del Rey Round of 16 match against third-tier side Unionistas de Salamanca. After that, the Catalan side will travel to Sevilla in a tough La Liga game against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin on Sunday. The schedule looks very busy for the Blaugrana as the Champions League is returning soon.

Barca will be playing Napoli on February 21st at the Maradona stadium for the 1st leg, and the second leg will be played on the 12th of March. The team will hope for Raphinha and Joao Cancelo to recover from their injuries for these upcoming games. The pressure on Xavi looks to get higher after their tough loss in Saudi Arabia, but the Barca board is backing the Barca legend.
