Well it’s quite true that they are all connecting with each other currently and that has been working good for them them somehow, this is how it supposed to be right from the start of the season but when it comes to some games some players still tend to seek glory over others and that cost them somehow, it’s just GTK that they are progressing.
Barcelona position in UCL doesn’t change anything if they flop in their future games, it will even be worse but they seem to be crushing it somehow for now let’s hope it lands them a title but it will be hard to take out Liverpool imo… in laliga, they are fried;D they can just hope realmadrid get into some serious flop because that’s the only way for them to claim back their position.
It's really important they do so it helps improve their performance and productivity generally, the chemistry they build amongst themselves fosters team work and a very healthy spirit of sportsmanship. Both Barcelona and Madrid are doing so well in the UCL actually and it's a brilliant representation, like you mentioned if Madrid had built this chemistry long before now, I believe that they would be at the top of the table now such that the point difference would be one others would literally struggle with.
In the Champions League, especially in the League Phase, only Barcelona can be considered to have performed better so far, because they managed to finish in the top 8 of the standings which automatically qualified them for the round of 16. Meanwhile, Real Madrid who finished in 11th place, had to fight through the play-off round to reach the round of 16. As we already know, Ancelotti squad faced a fairly severe storm of injuries, this became an obstacle to performing consistently. In La Liga, different conditions were shown by both teams, Barcelona started the season very well, but slowly they began to lose their balance, so that Real Madrid took over the top of the standings again. I think as the season progresses, both teams can find their best form again in every competition, but I think Barcelona will face more challenges in the future due to the financial crisis they are facing.
