Atletico Madrid's home loss to Barcelona has disappointed their supporters. Before the match started i can disagree with everyone who says that Atletico Madrid will lose to Barcelona. As Atletico Madrid was playing at home, and not all Barcelona players are fit enough to play in this match, I wasn't expecting that they would lose the match. However Barcelona easily won. The match even did not turn out as i expected. Griezmann, Depay, and Morata are all available, but they were unable to score any goal against Barcelona.
I was not surprised that Barcelona won against Athletico Madrid in La Liga because Barcelona has been beating Athletico Madrid in their last four meetings in the league. What surprised me were the three goals Barcelona scored against Athletico Madrid at home without scoring any goals against Barcelona.
I thought that the game would end in a draw if Atletico Madrid did not win, so I was quite surprised by the result of the game and the home loss to them. Although Barcelona only scored one goal in their first meeting, I still felt that was a lucky victory for them. However, I expected that Barcelona would struggle at Atletico Madrid's home field in this second meeting, not as easy as they won. Against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid did not try to score any goals. Atletico Madrid has lost all of their games against Barcelona this season without scoring a goal.
At this moment Barcelona will have a lot of work today be done in under to be able to climb back to possible first position because Real Madrid who is currently the top club with 72 point against the current Barcelona 64 points which means a lot need to be done to be able to beat the current Real Madrid records.
Although Real Madrid lost the league to Barcelona last season, by ten points difference. But that can never repeat itself this season. Due to their major defeat against weak opponents, Barcelona has already lost their opportunity to challenge Real Madrid for the title. As a result of their recent victories, we cannot claim that Barcelona still has a chance to win the championship because Real Madrid cannot be underrated. Barcelona in the second position with 64 points, eight points difference between them. It will be difficult for them to reduce the point difference.
