Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another MARCA live blog in English from LaLiga Santander, where we’ll be reporting live as Barcelona take on Elche this Saturday.
The Catalans have started the season well so far but will have to bounce back from defeat for the first time this season after losing to Bayern Munich in their Champions League match in midweek.
Xavi Hernández’s men played well in Germany but paid for their lack of clinical touch in front of goal and recorded their first defeat in an official game this season. Their defeat against Bayern Munich came after four consecutive victories, in which the Blaugrana scored a total of 16 goals.
As for Elche, they have started slowly this season, losing four of their first five LaLiga Santander matches. Coach Francisco’s side are yet to win this season, conceding 13 goals and conceding just two.
