JAKARTA - After a long international break, Barcelona finally returned to play. They started this important month with the La Liga match against Real Betis at the Montju total Olympics Stadium on Saturday night, or Sunday 17 September morning WIB.

The Blaugrana entered this match after starting the season without defeat, with 10 points from four matches. They also tried to face a chaotic transfer window and multiple injuries and suspensions. But the dust has subsided, no one has returned to injury from the international window, and this season has finally started for the defending La Liga champion.

Of course, fighting for their second league title is a priority for Bar hala, but everyone involved with this club knows very well how important the Champions League is this season. Xavi Hern Marijudez has proven that he can handle squads that are undertrained and under performance in every aspect. But he can change it until they can dominate the domestic league. Unfortunately this coach hasn't proven himself in a continental game.

Bar waya has not qualified for the knockout stages with Xavi as a coach and kicked out of the Europa League in an annoying and embarrassing way in the last two seasons. Now in this relatively easy group, the Blaugrana had to qualify in first place without being complicated. The opening match against Royalikarp is just a few days away, but there is a tough test to face before hearing the club's "national anthem" again singing supporters.

Although not as great as when coached by Manuel Pellegrini, Betis remains one of the best and most competitive teams in La Liga. His attacking abilities and goals-pointing matches have slowly disappeared since early 2022. However, Verdiblancos has never lost a competitive advantage and the defense organization that Pellegrini has always brought to his team.

They have started the season strong, with just one defeat and collected 8 points from their opening four games in a tough schedule to start the campaign this season. Together with former Spanish national team player Isco, they found their best form again. Moreover, a number of former Barguha players in their squad. Most recently they withdrew Ez Abde who was signed on Transfer Time Limit Day. Betis promised to return to create a stir this season.

Both teams have always played very entertaining matches, especially in Catalonia, and this Sunday shouldn't be different. The front players of Bar waya are all in good shape, and Betis won't sit quietly and park the bus like many teams who make visits to Catalans.

Bar waya usually doesn't play well in the first game after the international break. Betis has enough strength to surprise them if the Blaugrana performs poorly. So this match can be exciting and may be the best game this weekend in Spain.
