Barcelona succeeded in regaining the winning tone, and achieved an exciting victory over its guest, Almeria, 3-2, in the match of the 18th round of the Spanish League.
Barcelona took the lead in the 33rd minute through Rafinha, before Leo Baptistato equalized in the 42nd minute, then Sergi Roberto put the hosts ahead in the 61st minute again, and Edgar Gonzalez equalized in the 72nd minute.
After a series of wasted opportunities for Barcelona, captain Sergi Roberto returned and saved his team with the winning goal in the 83rd minute.
The victory was necessary for the Catalan club after the recent series of stumbles, with a draw against Valencia and before that a loss against Girona locally, in addition to the loss of Royal Antwerp in the Champions League.
Barcelona's score rose to 38 points, in third place, 6 points behind Girona (before the leader's match with Real Betis), and 4 points behind its rival and current runner-up, Real Madrid.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona will play a friendly match with Club America next week, then enter a relatively long rest period until returning to face Barbastro in the round of 32 of the Spanish King’s Cup on January 4, 2024.
