When it comes to finances Barcelona have really had tough days but they would leave these days behind sooner or later. Their main problem has been with the league FFP rules recently.
Barcelona aren't having a very successful season which is a truth. The point losses they made earlier caused them to fall from the title race very quickly. Now the gap is eight points while we are in last nine weeks of the season. Real Madrid just need to make a terrible mistake from now on to let Barcelona jump in the race again. I don't expect that to happen. I'm just curious about who they will bring in Xavi's place after his announcement to leave.
Barcelona still has match left against Real Madrid on games week 32, its bigger opportunity for Barcelona close the gap become 5 points remaining but its not easily have to face Madrid on their home. Madrid have consistent their performance on every matches left, next match Athletic Bilbao is most difficult team and Carlo Ancelotti must win the match if want secure their top position standings.
Barcelona has difficult matches left, not only facing Real Madrid but also will face Girona got loss on the first half season but they are on confidence performance can take all three points left after success qualifying in Champion League quarter final.
Barcelona has been given a genuine chance to finish in the second position. From here on if they are unable to, it is only going to be their fault and their fault only. Girona has given Barcelona a good chance. At one point it did not look like Barcelona would get anywhere near Girona. But through some bad performances of Girona, Barcelona was able to get ahead of them. Now Barcelona has a two-point advantage over them. Barcelona will have to be really consistent. Otherwise, it is only a 2-point advantage. And it is going to perish like nothing. Now I understand that Girona has been really inconsistent recently. But that does not negate the fact that they are literally breathing down the neck of Barcelona.
