They are bad in La Liga? Are you not wrong to say that?
They're in 3rd place now and is that a bad thing? Sure, they may have lost a big game yesterday, but they can't say it was because they played badly, especially since it was a very draining game and they didn't have a ful squad.
I think they are much better now, although not as good as in their heyday, but if we compare with the previous season then we will see they are much better.
There is still hope for them in the Champions League, at least they can provide competition and not fall in the group stages.
For the last five weeks in the La Liga I can say that Barcelona have lost some pace. Because they lost 7 points in these games. The last one hit them even harder as they lost in the El Clasico. Everything is fine for Barcelona in the Champions League for now. They are in a very comfortable group to finish as the leader.
However I think Xavi should focus on bringing better results in the La Liga by their upcoming games. The point gap with the leader there isn't big but they need to keep a consistent form not to experience the same thing Real Madrid did last season.
Real Madrid can easily pull away from them after some point otherwise.
Too much has been said, I think Barcelona lost the first El Classico game last season and went on winning the Spanish League last season, they are not so far from Real Madrid and Girona.
Immediately injured players returns, Barcelona will definitely go back to winning ways.
They can still.go ahead to defend the league ( La Liga ) but not the Champions League, they can be seen as a threat with lots of potentials.
I agree with you man, The La Liga would be easier to retrieve, there's no difference from the squad that won last season and this season, maybe they was more determined last season.
