Having hope in Barcelona in La Liga is not the problem, but having hope that Barcelona will be able to win the title of La Liga this season is the problem. We all know the strategy that Real Madrid always uses in their games, especially toward the end of the season, like from the middle of the season till the end. They don’t usually take their games for a joke, especially if they made it to the top of the table, which they have done already, and that is the same strategy that they used to achieve the trophy last season. So we all can’t underestimate Barcelona. I know that, but for them to meet up to Real Madrid points in the table now will not be as easy as we all are seeing. Real Madrid has a plan, and it seems like their plan is working, so they will not like to lose guide.
You ain't far from the truth that Real Madrid always takes their matches seriously from the middle of the season till the season ends because I could remember when Girona was topping the table and feeling comfortable last season until Real Madrid took over and Girona couldn't see their back anymore. Similar thing that happened to Girona last season is same thing that is happening to Barcelona because we all were busy clapping and praising them when they were topping the table but how far now, they are not even 2nd in the table which means they might be far from the La Liga title this season. Since Barcelona is showing more good performances in the Champions League maybe they can just carry their energy there instead of hoping for to get lucky and meet up points with Real Madrid which they may not be able to achieve.
