Barcelona will not give out their opportunity of becoming the La Liga champions once again.
If they would want to do it is not at this time that they are already close to Success.
The major factor that can make Barcelona to lose the title race to Real Madrid is injury.
But looking at the current squad of Barcelona, you will understand that almost all the players are available.
Barcelona players are not available. Most of their best players are out injured. They are without Lewandoski, Dembele, Pedri, Christensen and Gavi for the match against Valencia tomorrow due to a suspension. They are just seven points ahead of Madrid at the moment and a loss to Valencia will reduce that to four points if Madrid wins against Betis. Now here is the tricky part, Barca will play Bilboa next and we all know how much of a pain in the ass Bilboa can be to Barcelona. After Bilboa they will play Real Madrid. So if Barcelona don't handle the next three matches they have very well they could find themselves just one point ahead of Madrid or worst, below Madrid. They can only hope for Madrid to keep been inconsistent in the league.
I think the Barcelona team will be able to put up a solid performance even though several Barcelona players are out of the squad. Because Barcelona is not relying on any specific player now. In the last match, we saw they won against Real Madrid. And against Madrid, they were able to win only because of their brilliant match strategy. It will not be easy for Barcelona to win the next match against the Valencia team. But my guess is Barcelona will win or the match will be a draw. I don't think Barcelona will lose.
