He Barça has gone from dominating LaLiga to plummet to third position. To be 3 points ahead of him Real Madrid and 7 to Atlético the day will be 4 behind the whites, which could be 7 if they win today The Palmsalready 5 of the Atlético de Madrid. A dramatic escape of points that has been constant from matchday 13 until now. At least, Simeone’s men succumbed yesterday to the Leganés.
And it is that he Barça has only added 6 points in the last 24, the result of a single victory (Mallorca), two draws (Celta and Betis) and four defeats (Real Sociedad, Las Palmas, Leganés and Atlético). Very different from the Real Madridwho are 16 of 21 (they have one game left) which could be 19 of 24 if they win. He Atlético He has achieved 21 of 24 points in these same 8 days.
Looking at all the classifications of these last 8 days, in order, the collapse becomes evident. He Barça He maintained the lead on matchday 13 and 14 but gave it up on matchday 15 when he lost in Montjuïc against The Palms. Real Madrid took it from him. In the 16th, the tie Betis equaled him with the rojiblancos, moving away 4 points from the Real Madrid. The match advanced and won against Mallorca was pure mirage.
In the 17th, with the defeat against Leganesthe damage was already huge. Third in the table, the Madrid They left with 5 points and Atlético with 3. With the defeat against Atlético, in the 18th, the classification left no room for doubt. A resounding -8 with the Madrid and a -6 with the Atlético.
-19, that messy one with the Mallorca, allowed them to recover three and one point with their rivals. And this last one, the draw with Getafe at the Coliseum is good because the Atlético fell against Leganés at home but it will be bad if the team wins Madrid at home to Las Palmas.
Barça could go from having a 3-point advantage in mid-November to -4 or -7 with the Madridistas, who would have wiped out 10 points. A qualifying drama.
