It's very easy to spot a useless team sometimes but because we don't evaluate them properly that's why. Even someone that's not an expert yesterday will say that Atletico was going to finish Barcelona with their current form and how they were able to remove Inter from the Champions League only for them to fumble against Barcelona, 11 men were playing against Barcelona after the red card and yet they didn't have more shorts on target, this is just a definition of a finish team, believe me they will not cross over after Quarter final in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid actually gave their best fight against Barcelona in their home match, but they were less fortunate in the many goal attempts they had. Barcelona are in good form so far and they perform with confidence against any team. Not only was Atletico Madrid defeated, Barcelona was also able to beat Napoli with a score of 3-1 previously in the last 16 of the Champions League.

I find Barcelona's defense is currently improving as they are starting to find a good tandem at center back. Pau Cubarsi and Araujo are the two center backs that Xavi has relied on in the last few matches, they are good at handling pressure and that has succeeded in preventing Barcelona from conceding many goals. It is proven that Barcelona only conceded 3 goals in their last 7 matches, including the two Champions League last 16 matches against Napoli.

Barcelona are lucky to get their own share of 3 points and are now ahead of hyped Girona but the question now is how are ttey going to reach Real Madrid with all this kick off with their seriousness, Real Madrid don't look like they are going to back down right now. They are going to win this trophy without anything stopping them.

It wasn't luck, but it was the result they deserved after their hard work. But no matter how good Barcelona have been in their last few matches, I don't think they are any longer a threat to Real Madrid. Barcelona have an 8 point gap behind Real Madrid so far, so I think it's safe to assume they will only be in second place until the end of the season.
