Dani Alves will eat his words.
Fear us, bytches.
hahahah. I knew Toppa was just waiting in the shadows.
I eh go lie. I always said it wasn't over, but I didn't expect madrid to really start cutting the lead like that so soon. I honestly don't think the loss to Espanyol was down to form and fatigue though..just one of those things. BUt Madrid is the best team in Spain right now and is playing like Barca did earlier in the season. So roles reversed. Hopefully Barca Has enough to right the ship soon and hopefully Madrid can't hold that form to long. I think Barca on the road against Atletico Madrid next...dat is reaallll hard road game...but AM also playing Champion's league so hopefully that will work in Barca favor as the deeper side. I good result against Lyon in the CL is a must....
The thing about a football season is teams must lose and draw sometimes...The timing of Barca's slight dip in form coinciding with Madrid's improvement make it seem a bit more exciting....Almost like Madrid is chasing Barca, and that Barca is just holding on stemming the chase until the end of the season....Fact of the matter is Barca has only lost 2 games this season...that is still an amazing feat..and this loss was their first loss at home. They are still the best team in Spain by an edge, but Madrid is finally making a statement that it's not a one man (team) show, which it was up until this weekend....add to that Madrid looks like they can still improve whereas Barca has probably shown us the best that they are capable of.... 7 points is now a realistic target but Madrid, along with other tricky matchups, has
away games to Sevilla, Villareal and Valencia still on the schedule. Under any circumstances 9 points from those three games can be considered overachieving...so it's an interesting chase but smart money says that Madrid will drop some more points along the way- Barca still well in the driver's seat if you ask me.
I think that my hope that Madrid can keep improving and make a claim for the C-League (our trophy that we've been loaning out for too long
) might be more realistic than clawing back the 7 points against Barca...Either way we have some good excitement ahead- as it should be..
