Barcelona - Vallecano was a really fierce game though. The total number of goals was way less than I waited for. Sad

It was a game in which the goalkeepers shined more than the other players. I can say that Vallecano goalkeeper had hell of a performance but it was still not enough to prevent the 1-0 loss. With this win, Barcelona have come to the top again after a long time! But the points are just too tight you know. There is no clear superiority by them to the Madrid teams. But I can say they are really superior about one statistics, goal difference. If the points go on like this until the end, Barcelona can use this to their advantage.

Szczesny has fit in well with the team, maybe not right away and games like the one with Benfica when he missed 4 years are not the best games, but Barcelona won even that game. Rayo Vallecano is a team of a different character, against opponents like Barcelona they are more defensive, but this time they played well and even made 4 shots on target, and Szczesny received the highest rating for this game.

By the way, Ter Stegen's recovery is going better than expected, it was previously reported that he would return only in the summer after the end of the season, but now he has informed the coaching staff that he will be ready to return in May.
