Barca’s commanding victory over Osasuna last night puts the Catalans in an excellent position. The Blaugrana now have a 3-point lead and also history’s good books. Flick has worked wonders in this comeback in La Liga, and now, as the final games are about to start, Barca mustn’t lose focus.
A 3-Point Lead with 10 Games Left Feels To be Destiny
The brilliant victory against Osasuna confirms that Barca maintains a lead at the top and has 10 games in hand. It’s a big signal, as No Barcelona side has ever squandered a two-point cushion with 10 games in hand. However, Los Blancos are not far from our tails. But Atletico, on the contrary, might have finally been left out of the title race with yesterday’s Barcelona win.
History now aligns with Barca; the Catalans have shown they are confident enough to see this off. Real Madrid will be under greater pressure as time ticks, and Barca shows no signs of dropping points.
Barcelona’s 10-Game Unbeaten Run Has Turned Doubters into Believers
Let’s rewind to January. Barcelona had successfully bottled a potential 9-point league in 2 months and sat at third place. Real Madrid and Atletico seemed to be running away with the title as Barca, at one time, managed to win only once in 8 games.
However, Hansi Flick’s response has been legendary. He has been bold with his tactics, effective with his players, and simply clutch. He has made a true statement to other La Liga clubs and, since January, turned the tables completely. With a 10-game unbeaten run in La Liga, Flick is almost at the finish line with Barca.
Here’s why El Clasico Could Be the Defining Moment of the Season
As confident as Barca fans may be, a three-point gap can be overcome in a matter of a couple of games. So Los Blancos will target the next meeting with Barcelona as their final hope of winning La Liga: Matchday 35 El Clasico.
For the Catalans, it’s the final nail in Real Madrid’s coffin. A win in this game might be the title decider. Luckily, Barcelona will have the home advantage and will look to make sure that the Clasico winning streak is maintained.
