Watch FC Barcelona Vs. Real Betis Live Stream: Early Must-Win La Liga Match For Barca, Start Time, Preview
Defending champions FC Barcelona got their campaign for a three-peat off to a halting start last weekend, being held goalless in a 1-0 defeat by the always-tough Basque side Athletic Bilbao, per Soccerway. Now the 26-time champs find themselves in what must feel like a truly weird position — sitting in the relegation zone on the La Liga table. And without three of his major scoring threats, Coach Ernesto Valverde will need to get creative to lift the titlists up the table in a clash with last season’s 10th-place finishers Real Betis, that will stream live from Catalan country.
Real Betis was the only La Liga team to defeat Barcelona at the fortress known as the Nou Camp last season, winning a wild, 4-3 shootout on November 11 of last year. But Valverde will have to find a way to win without Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez or Ousmane Dembele, all of whom are out of the match due to injuries, according to Sport.
Messi returned to training from a calf strain during the week, according to The Express, after sitting out the defeat at Bilbao. But while he has earlier been reported fit to take part, late reports indicate that Valverde has elected to keep his five-time Ballon D’or winner on the bench.
Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. Central European Daylight Time on Sunday, August 25, at the iconic 99,000-seat Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
