The FC Barcelona did not achieve to carry the victory of the Classical in front of the Real Madrid, but yes is true that the team struggled to the end, literally, to achieve equalise him the marker to the group madridista. It could be bad luck or questionable decisions of the referee, but the Barça litigated to the end in Valdebebas and the players showed that they do not go to give by defeated, because still the traced back of LaLiga is very possible, considering the distances between the first and third square, in which they will close the day.
In LaLiga subtract nine 'final' and the ones of Ronald Koeman will face them with the intention to win it everything. In the calendar will be marked, of course, the party in front of the Athletic of Madrid, in the weekend of the 8-9 May. If the blaugrana win everything of here to there, only will depend on that the merengues trip, that is very possible, considering the drops, calendar and challenges that have the ones of Zidane.
The true is that the image of the Barça of this moment is very different to the one of, at least, the team that fell derrrotado in his stadium, in front of the Real Madrid, in October. In that opportunity, the ones of Koeman struggled to achieve the result, but went to rack and ruin when Sergio Bouquets converted of penal to put the 1-2 in the marker, to fault of more than half hour for the end. This time, reacted and looked for the tie, but was not them sufficient.
However, this stands out a change of attitude importantísimo for the players, ensuring that this time will not give by defeated. The panorama is complicated, but no impossible. The resistance, winning mentality and optimum physical state will be key in these last days and it will be necessary to resist to the end, but there is all the intention of this. In fact, from the newspaper 'Sport' aim that from the changing room there are not doubts that the doublet is possible and that, far to dismay after the Classical, will look for to give a new hit on the table in the domestic competition.
The Glass of Rey, the next challenge
This week the attention of the ones of Ronald Koeman will be put totally in the final of the Glass of Rey, this Saturday, in front of the Athletic of Bilbao. The culés will have the opportunity to raise in The Cartuja the first title of the season, that would be a big impulse for the final stretch of LaLiga Santander.
The positive is that the Barça arrives with better feelings that the 'lions', especially after the last parties of the Bilbao that have left a very bitter flavour to Marcelino. The defeat in front of the Real Sociedad in the final of Glass 19-20, however, will do that they play 'injured' in front of the ones of Koeman and that look for reinvindicarse in the tournament.
