at 22:15 beijing time on september 15, the fifth round of the 2024-25 la liga season ushered in a focus battle: verona vs barcelona.
this is a crucial battle for barcelona to consolidate its leading position and also a "battle of revenge".
in the la liga standings before the game, barcelona led the league with 12 points after winning four consecutive games, one point ahead of the second-placed defending champion real madrid with one game less.
last season, barcelona, coached by xavi, failed to defend the la liga title and finished second with a 10-point difference. barcelona lost a lot of points that should not have been lost. they lost 6 points to verona, and were defeated by girona 2:4 both at home and away. girona, on the other hand, "gave" real madrid 6 points and was defeated by real madrid.
of course, girona was a dark horse last season, but this season it may not be the case. its own strength is only at the lower-middle level in la liga. the top scorer and la liga golden boot winner dovbic was sold to roma, the 22-year-old striker pau victor was bought out by barcelona, and the 20-year-old brazilian striker savinho, who was "loaned" from troyes, went to manchester city. although almost all the money earned was invested in signings, the overall strength has been weakened a lot.
