Elche vs Barcelona Preview
Elche take on Barcelona at Estadio Martínez Valero, with kick-off set for 15:30 on Sunday 23 August.
Last season saw Elche finish 15th in La Liga with 43 points from 38 matches. Elche opened the new season a week ago with a 1-1 away draw against Deportivo La Coruña at Abanca-Riazor. Los Franjiverdes enjoyed 61% possession and recorded six shots on target, with Marc Aguado finding the net.
Elche have made significant changes to their squad this summer, with Martin Anselmi also taking over as the new head coach. Centre-forwards Fer Nino and Tiziano Perrotta, right-back Buba Sangare, centre-back Victor Chust, central midfielder Gonzalo Villar and attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte are among their main additions. Central midfielder Aleix Febas, centre-back Leo Petrot and centre-forwards Andre Silva and Alvaro Rodriguez are among the major departures.
Hansi Flick's Barcelona have added to their title-winning squad this summer, with defensive midfielder Rodri, left-winger Anthony Gordon and forward Karim Adeyemi among their leading arrivals. Forwards Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati, right-winger Ferran Torres and defensive midfielder Tommy Marqués are among the main permanent departures.
Barcelona secured their second consecutive La Liga title in 2025/26, collecting 94 points from 38 matches to finish eight points clear of Real Madrid.
Barca, who have not been in action this season, ended last campaign with a 3-1 away defeat to Valencia at Estadio Mestalla. The Blaugranes dominated possession with 76% and registered four shots on target, with Robert Lewandowski scoring their only goal.
