Elche Takes On Barcelona in La Liga: Catch Every Live Score and Match Stat as They Happen!

Following an additional week of recovery after the World Cup, a talent-laden Barcelona squad kicks off the defense of their La Liga crown on Sunday with an away fixture against Elche.

Significant funds have been invested this summer to strengthen Hansi Flick's roster. Anthony Gordon represents the most expensive signing in terms of transfer fees, but the arrival of Spanish icon Rodri is the move that has generated the most excitement among supporters heading into the new campaign.

Preseason was not without its issues for the Blaugrana, but Flick will be determined to hit the ground running in La Liga, and he will feel confident about his team's prospects against an Elche side that survived relegation by just a single point last term.

Barcelona claimed a 3–1 victory when these two clubs last met in this fixture back in January. Lamine Yamal got the scoring underway, though the team's other two goalscorers that day, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford, have since left the club, creating opportunities for new players to step up and shine on Sunday.
