I don't agree with the opinion that Barcelona aren't actually strong this season. Yes Real Madrid have been really inconsistent in the league so far but it would be unfair to Barcelona if we overlook their high effort. They lost only twice after all those matches and they didn't draw with their opponents so many times either. While they are the second most scoring team they have conceded only 9 goals in 29 matches in the league. Especially the defensive performance is really insane I think.

Barcelona's only problem is with their playing really bad in Champions League matches. Xavi still can't find a solution to this problem but I believe in them to do better next season there as well.
