It seems that never losing is not a guarantee that Barcelona can lead the intermediate class. In 8 League games Barcelona have not lost, they have only drawn twice. It seems that Barcelona's record for this season still has no rivals in other Europa Leagues. Because other clubs have suffered several defeats. It seems that this condition makes Xavi more confident in the strength of the team.
La Liga is getting hotter than expected because average clubs are ready to pull big fight against elite clubs, with diligent actions. No team can proceeds to the final stages without recording defeats, but they can try to keep good scored of unbeaten run but it's only temporary. Xavi Hernandez have strengthen the club beyond measures, though they have problems to solved but we know how the legendary player fixed these challenges. Barcelona are in UEFA Champions League, getting the best results so far, unbeaten this season in 8 games. 6W 2D 0L stats and currently ranked second on the table.
Barcelona may never lose, but if they draw a lot, it's also not good for them, because the points they collect are a little hampered if they draw a lot with the opponents they face. I think apart from defeats, draws are also one of the negative results felt by a club. Imagine me they feel 5 draws, that means there are 10 points wasted, and that will widen the distance from clubs that can get more good results with victory.
If we look back to last season in the Bundesliga, we will see how Borussia Dortmund failed to become champions because they only drew in the last match they played.
