Yes, they are quite aware of this. They will not be able to chase the La Liga title again this season. The points are quite far apart and there are not enough matches left. what they can try to do in La Liga is to immediately take over Girona's position in second position. So after all, they are still below Real Madrid.
After four years, Barcelona finds itself once again in the Champions League quarterfinals. This time, they successfully defeated Girona with a score of three goals to one, demonstrating their readiness for this year's Champions League. However, their performance in La Liga hasn't been as impressive, with Girona currently ahead of them and Real Madrid even further ahead. Nevertheless, Barcelona seems to be putting in more effort in the Champions League than in La Liga.
I believe that if Napoli had been wise enough to protect the interests of players like OCmen, they could have achieved much more. OCmen is an unsung hero for Napoli, consistently showcasing his capabilities. Even in the first leg against Barcelona, he scored a goal, alongside Lewandowski, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Additionally, he demonstrated his capacity during the African Nations Cup, leading his team to the finals. However, OCmen was not given the recognition he deserved by Napoli; instead, it was awarded to Ivara. This highlights the importance for managers to prioritize talent and performance over tribal or ethnic considerations.
Despite the challenges, congratulations to Barcelona for their achievement tonight in advancing to the quarterfinals.
