Atletico put their own internal turmoil behind them and managed a win while at the same time punishing some sloppy Barcelona defending and this got me thinking.
Are the ghosts of Barca’s 2007/08 campaign coming back to haunt them and are the wheels starting to fall off their cruisy ride to an otherwise unchallenged league title? Well the results of the last few weeks seem to speak for themselves, starting with a draw to Betis, a loss to Espanyol, a come-from-behind draw against Lyon and now this?
Pep Guardiola may be the best dressed coach in the world, but his problems are starting to extend beyond his wardrobe and they’re now at a critical point of getting the better of his team. They’re still scoring goals, but they’re conceding them very softly as well… whatever the case, Real Madrid now sit only 4 points off them and heads will probably start rolling if things are fixed… ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba!
