Nonetheless, Barca will hope that their January recruits such as Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continue their fine form.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/22191989129,1002554\/MGL\/mgl_ado_atunwa_300x250 --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has scored goals all his career. He gets into space well. He is mature, intelligent, humble, and positive,\u201d said Barcelona manager Xavi of the Gabonese striker.<\/p>\n<p>Real boss Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, is hoping his team shrugs off their penchant for slack performances in the first half of games: \u201cIt cost us to go into the games with the necessary intensity, it\u2019s a soft spot that we have had and we are going to fix it,\u201d said the Italian. \u201cThe rivals squeeze a lot in the first [half], then lose rhythm and we get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in La Liga this round, Sevilla will be hoping Real Madrid drop points and they capitalise with a win at home to Real Sociedad \u2013 though the Basque visitors will be no pushovers, as manager Julen Lopetegui is well aware.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will always be difficult for us to close the gap, we have quality opponents coming up and nothing can be taken for granted. Nonetheless, we hope to be in a good moment and fight for victory always,\u201d said the Los Nervionenses boss.<\/p>\n<p>Champions Atletico Madrid have a tricky trip to neighbours Rayo Vallecano, while Real Betis will back themselves to claim all three points when they visit Celta Vigo.
