Barça Begins Title Defense Against Elche

Barcelona will visit Elche at 21:30 (9:30 PM) at the Martínez Valero stadium in their delayed first match of the season. The defending champions from the last two seasons had their opening match postponed to allow World Cup players who reached semifinals or final to enjoy at least 21 days of vacation as per labor regulations.

The Catalan team will play catch-up by hosting Athletic on Thursday and facing Rayo Vallecano at home next Monday, returning to the regular match schedule. freshyourfeel.org
