I thought Barcelona would be at the first position by now in the La Liga table by now, since the club was the most performing in the last season and even the title holders which make them best fit for that position, Girona was a club that climb up to that position of being second because of the early set backs that Barcelona face during the first few games in the early time of the League.
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.
This is not possible for Barcelona this season, they will definitely not be able to top the standings, they have had to go through difficult times with a lot of injured players, and this has ruined their chances of competing for the championship. Real took advantage of this very well and can now fully concentrate on the Champions League. And Barcelona will have to be content with second place, and think about a replacement for Xavi.
