Barcelona is one team I thought the will make it very hard for Madrid to claim the Lalliga tittle,but how they made it so simple for Madrid is what I don't even know,and they didn't make any effort of trying to climb up and be closer to them,all they kept on doing was to lose games,which made Madrid top with lots of points.Or are they demoralized as Xavi Hernandez said he is leaving?because it shocks me how the defending champions fell so short and not even give headache to Madrid in the tittle race.
Barcelona has been Real Madrid's eternal rival for years, it has always made it difficult for Madrod to win the Laliga title, we can even see something like last season, but it seems like this season everything has changed. Barcelona is not putting heavy pressure on Real Madrid at the top of the standings and it is Girona who are making things difficult for Madrid this season. But now Girona seems to have given up on continuing to pressure Madrid. Currently, Madrid sits comfortably at the top because the competition is no longer competitive for Madrid because the two teams below them do not have the opportunity to shift their position with their inconsistent performances.
There are times when Barcelona and Real Madrid experience a decline in performance because sometimes Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot compete well in the title race. So yes, for me it is still a normal cycle, but indeed, Barcelona has a big crisis in the team making it difficult to get good results every season. So, Barcelona's decline in performance this season is not at all about Xavi because after all, it seems purely due to the player's injury factor which also makes Barcelona lag behind Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings. But even so, try to hope that Barcelona gets the right coach nextseason, because it is certain that Barcelona will have a new coach next season because Xavi has also stated that he will leave.
