As champions last season, Barcelona showed good achievements as this season approached the end and of course this gave Barcelona fans happiness because Barcelona could compete with Madrid.
Many people thought that the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona would be a fierce competition and they would score each other goals, but in reality Atletico Madrid couldn't score a goal and in the end the match ended in victory for Barcelona, but if we look at the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the first meeting at that time, Barcelona also managed to win the match with a score of 1-0, but yes, at the end of this season, Barcelona's performance is getting better, but it's a shame that Barcelona's point difference with Real Madrid is very large and it seems that Barcelona's hope of becoming champions this season is difficult to achieve unless Madrid must be consistent they lose in the upcoming match so Barcelona has the potential to become champions again.
Barcelona is currently in 2nd place in the standings, of course that is a good thing and the runner up position is an achievement that we must appreciate. Xavi's troops will want to continue collecting points and we'll see whether Xavi's troops will continue to consistently win or not.
I don't think Barcelona is able to compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona's success in climbing to second place doesn't mean Barcelona has given Real Madrid competition. These two teams are quite far apart in points which makes Real Madrid feel more comfortable at the top of the standings, even though Real Madrid lost two matches in a row, their position is still safe. Barcelona victory at Atletico Madrid headquarters was a very crucial moment for Barcelona because in other matches Girona failed to win over Getafe. It must be admitted that towards the end of the season, Barcelona's performance was actually better and their goal productivity was also increasing.
Xavi has done his job well even though the chances of retaining the La Liga title are very slim, with the team's condition being unstable financially, he was able to utilize young players from La Masia to fill several holes left by the main players due to injuries. I was very impressed with the performance of the young players Hector Fort and Pau Cubarsi who were promoted to the first team, their performance was very good and they were able to maintain their positions well.
Their presence will actually be very beneficial for Barcelona, they are a solution during the financial crisis, next season Barcelona will be filled with more young players from the La Masia academy, they just need the trust of the coach to develop their talents to become key players in the main squad like Araujo, Gavi, Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Pedri.
