Barça Must Remain Focused.

Back from the international break, Barça must remain focused as they enter the final and most difficult part of the season.

Yesterday’s 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo showed that Barça cannot ill afford a lapse in concentration against any opponent. Barça face a tricky month where they are playing a match twice a week. They will have to be focused for both the Spanish league crown and the UEFA Champions League.

The powers that be have our beloved Blaugrana playing the likes of Sevilla, PSG and Valencia in consecutive order this month. PSG will be missing some starters for the first leg and hopefully Barça do not take them lightly. The memories of Barça getting beaten by a Milan side missing a few of their starters in the 1994 Champions League Final still lingers.

What is certain is that Barça can somewhat calm their nerves, if Barça manage to obtain a victory in Paris by a big margin. This crazy month will be key in how Barça will finish the season. There are only 9 matches left and I have always been a firm believer that the season always comes down to the final five matches. They cannot win any titles this month but they can lose one or both of them this month.

Barça control their destiny and hopefully players like Neymar, and Dani Alves find their mojo and we see the dangerous Barça team we saw after the Real Sociedad loss. We cannot keep relying on Messi on bailing this team out every month, especially with his current foot injury. The final months of the season are upon us and we need every player to stay focused on and off the pitch.
