JAKARTA - Barcelona had bad luck in their 1-0 win over Real Sociedad, Friday, April 22 in the early hours of WIB. In that match, there were four Blaugrana defenders who were injured in just 20 minutes.

The four main Barcelona defenders injured at the San Sebastian Stadium are Gerard Pique, Ronald Araujo, Jordi Alba and Dani Alves.

Quoted from The Athletic, disaster for Barcelona began in the 55th minute when Ronald Araujo suffered a knee injury while trying to block Alexander Isak's cross. The player had to be withdrawn and replaced by Eric Garcia.

After Araujo, Dani Alves was also injured. In the 66th minute, the experienced Barcelona defender was replaced by Sergino Dest after being tackled by Rafinha.

Within twenty minutes, Alba and Pique were injured too. Alba suffered a muscle injury, while Pique had looked limp since the first half. Pique was then replaced by Clement Lenglet in the 82nd minute.

This situation is clearly very detrimental for Barcelona. Because if the injuries suffered by the players are too severe, it is not impossible that they must be absent from defending the team for a long time.

Even though Barcelona itself is currently in the burning spirit of chasing the top ranking of the Spanish League. The completeness of the players is one of the important keys for Xavi Hernandez as a coach in concocting the squad.

Moreover, after this match, Barcelona has also been scheduled to play the match against Rayo Vallecanp as a postponed match for the 21st week of the Spanish League. Three points in that match are very important for Barcelona who are currently in second place.
