Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid. The additional 3 points are important to maintain stability and also create a safe position in top competition. Wink

I thought Atletico Madrid could make things difficult for Barcelona, but I was wrong. In fact I think like you, because they concede the ball too easily and it looks weak like in your picture. It seems Madrid have to learn a lot from Barcelona so they can make Atletico like a docile cat. It seems that Jao Felix became Barcelona's differentiating actor, with his anger he worked hard to make Simeone feel guilty about letting go.


Barcelona's play really impressed me; Athletico Madrid also had excellent chances, but their finishing were bad. I first assumed that Athletico Madrid would make the match difficult for Barcelona, but I was quite disappointed by their performance, especially their defensemen.

I think Barcelona's playing has really improved. Many fans blamed Xavi for not having a coaching strategy, but he is one of my top three favourite coaches this season because it is not easy to manage a team that does not have funds, and he is doing his best because he is currently second in the La Liga table and he still managed the team to the Champions League quarterfinals, which I'm hoping to see Barcelona in the Champions League final.
Barcelona were more clinical than Atlético Madrid in that game. Yes Atlético Madrid performance was below expectation I didn't expect the scoreline to be that big even though Barcelona have a better head to head recorded against Atlético Madrid. I was thinking the scoreline was going to be something like 1:2 or 1:1. At least Barcelona have moved to second place and I hope they can maintain that position till the end of the season. Realistically they might have missed out on the league and their champions league is their major hope of getting a trophy and I wish them well.
