Barcelona vs. Elche
Sunday, August 24, 2014
Camp Nou, Barcelona
La Liga Match Day 1
The time had finally come for the new season to kick off for Barcelona. With new faces galore, familiar faces gone, and a former Barcelona player taking over the reigns as manager, the season was ready to set of with a bang. Barcelona set out in a 4-3-3 formation with a lineup of Bravo; Alves, Mascherano, Mathieu, Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic; Rafinha, Munir, Messi. Elche’s Starting XI consisted of Tyton; Damian, Lomban, J.Angel, Pelegrin, Albacar; Mosquera, Pasalic, Rodrigues; Jonathas, and Coro in a 5-4-1 formation. Everything looked set for La Liga to kick off for the two sides… But just as the season started, it was postponed… Momentarily. And by the unlikeliest of things.
