FC reduced the gap with Real Madrid to five points, when there are still 14 games to be played -or 42 points. After a very irregular season, the team seem to realise that Real Madrid are not unbeatable, after they lost against two, theoretically, minor teams (Almeria, the revelation of the League, and Betis). Next weekend could be favorable to the Catalan team, as they play Levante (last classified) just before Real Madrid play Getafe in Bernabeu Stadium. FC Barcelona have closed four points in the last three games, which has increased the optimism of the squad. However, they need to understand that there is not any scope for further mistakes. The impact of the defeat against Real Madrid in Nou Camp that increased the gap to seven points was, as expected, difficult to overtake. However, seven League games afterwards, the reality is that the gap has closed up two points.
The target is to reach the game in Bernabeu Stadium (two before the last league game) with chances to overtake Real Madrid. There are 11 games to be played before that much expected “el clasico” in which the team have to face every game as a final, in order to reduce further the 5 points gap.
