Barça’s once five point atop of the standings lead has now become a thing of the past. They now find themselves three points behind Real Madrid. Barça enjoyed most of the season being hunted but now find themselves as the hunters. The time to find answers has to happen now or else they could end the season empty handed much like they did in the 2006-2007 season.
Yes, I am aware that Barça always drop points in the second half of the season, especially in February. However, I grow weary of such a trend especially when it allows arch rivals to be able to catch up and surpass our guys atop of the standings. Barça one had a commanding five point lead cushion but now find themselves three points behind Real Madrid. How could this have happened? Well, Real Madrid went on an impressive run where they managed to obtain 19 from 21 points in their last matches. Meanwhile, Barça, and Atlético, managed to only get 11 points from those 7 games.
The last time Barça was a in a three way race for the league crown was back in 2006-2007. They ended that season empty handed. Some of those players, the leaders of this team, were on that team too. The bitter memories of watching their club squander everything at the end was gut wrenching. Now is the time for the team to fix their errors and stay focused for the next few months. Failure to do so will condemn them to relive the past and suffer in the present with doubts about the future.
