Barcelona had an easy win over Las Palmas in the weekend, maintaining their lead over Real Madrid in the race for the league crown this season. There was no doubt that they will win overcome Las Palmas in this fixture, Barcelona are in fine form and very ambitious this season to go head to head against Real Madrid for the league title.
Having the same number of points over Real Madrid and only 1 point difference over Atletico Madrid requires Barcelona to remain consistent in the remaining thirteen games this season.
This is a tough job for Barcelona. The first thing we are most worried about is player injuries considering that Barcelona are still in several competitions such as the COPA DEL REY and the Champion League.
Against Las Palmas on the 23rd yesterday, for me the victory they got was not easy. Only in the 62nd minute Barcelona were able to score a goal and their second goal was only created in the minute of added time.
When playing against Las Palmas, Barcelona had difficulty scoring goals, especially in the first half they had run out of ways to score goals because Las Palmas' defense was so solid. However, Hansi Flick realized that this match was very important to stay at the top of the standings so he made substitutions in the second half and both goals were scored by substitutes Olmo and Ferran Torres, this proves how clever Hansi Flick's tactics are, he managed to bring about change.
As you said, I also agree. Barcelona's struggle to stay at the top of the standings does not seem easy besides having to compete in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. Their opponents in the next six matches are really tough. Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid twice in the Copa del Rey and in La Liga. Then they face Benfica in the Champions League and face Real Sociedad in La Liga. If you look at the schedule that Barcelona has to go through, I doubt Barcelona can maintain their top position in La Liga, especially since their points are the same as Real Madrid.
