On New Turf: Lautern Aims to Delight Fans with Festive Performance - Barcelona eyes 30-point milestone in final 2025 clash with Real Madrid
FC Barcelona is set to face Real Madrid in their last match of 2025. The game, played on newly laid turf, could push the hosts past the 30-point mark if they secure a victory. Coach Xavi wants to give fans an early Christmas present with a win before the winter break.
The team will enter the match without several key players. Long-term absentees Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and Ousmane Dembélé remain sidelined. Despite the missing squad members, Xavi has cautioned his side about Real Madrid’s technical ability.
A victory would lift Barcelona beyond 30 points and maintain their push for the La Liga title. The result will also determine whether fans leave the stadium with a festive win. The winter break follows immediately after the final whistle.
