Top of the Table
Barcelona is back on top of the La Liga Table, after being 10 points behind the La Liga leaders. Barcelona suffered a downhill in La Liga during the November-December period, where Barcelona bottled a 9-point lead. Barcelona only managed to win one La Liga game out of seven, squandering a nine-point lead over Real Madrid to end the year in third place. This period had Barcelona fans thinking, after three consecutive home defeats to Las Palmas, Leganes, and Atletico Madrid. Later Barcelona once again dropped points.
Barcelona is back to winning ways after the Catalans were unbeaten in January and remain unbeaten as of February. The League leaders Real Madrid dropped crucial points against Espanyol, Atletico, and Osasuna which Barcelona took advantage of and now sits at the top of the table sharing points with Real Madrid. Barcelona are above Real Madrid due to a better goal difference.
The League is still very long to go, Barcelona will have to keep winning games and maintain this positive mindset. Barcelona still have to face Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid later in La Liga, these games can be crucial in the title race as all three teams have little difference in points.
