Just 2 weeks ago, Barcelona was 12 points ahead of the chasing pack and looking invincible. They were tipped to win La Liga, Copa Del Rey and champion’s league. They faltered against two teams and gave them a 1-0 lead and still came back to beat both teams with late goals. Coach Pep Guardiola (picture) should have seen the writing on the wall but he is an inexperienced coach and didn't see the symptoms of his team badly timed blip.
But in the last week they have seen their insurmountable lead of 12 cut down to just 4. It started with a draw and then losing to Espanyol and Athletico Madrid in successive weeks. Is Barcelona tired? Because Real Madrid has won 10 games in a row and are looking hungry and are playing ugly enough to knock Barcelona off their perch if given the opportunity.
Juande Ramos seems such a guru now leading Real Madrid and his motley crew to within 4 points of Barcelona and I cant wait for the next El Classico.
