If we retreat a month and half and go us to the day 1 November, can remember an alarming defeat of the FC Barcelona in the Ciutat of València against the Raise. The team of Ernesto Valverde did not find ideas for sobreponerse to the team 'granota', that in hardly seven crazy minutes achieved to give him the turn to the initial goal of Leo Messi. A duel that concerned, and a lot, by last it that it was the hit.
Since, the FC Barcelona has not gone back to lose. The Barcelona team has achieved to improve his game and, in consequence, his results. Even they have obtained favourable results in parties complicated like the ones of the Borussia Dortmund (3-1), the Athletic of Madrid (0-1) or the Inter of Milan (1-2), this last with the 'second unit' giving the face.
In total, from the defeat of the Ciutat of València, the FC Barcelona has won six parties (Celtic of Vigo, Leganés, Borussia Dortmund, Athletic of Madrid, Mallorca and Inter of Milan) and has empatado two (Slavia Prague and Real Sociedad). A series that have to consider positive for the morals of the team before receiving to a Real Madrid that also has recovered the confidence in his game and the good line of results.
This yes, it is necessary to mention important nuances as, for example, what the picture of Ernesto Valverde suffered against the Real Sociedad, especially in the first time, or the quantity of occasions that conceded in front of the Athletic of Madrid. Especially in the defensive section, the culés will have to adjust mechanisms since, in spite of the series of imbatibilidad, the blaugrana have fit eight goals in the úlimos eight parties.
The Real Madrid also has improved
Also it has improved the Real Madrid, since it seems that Zinedine Zidane has given at last with the key so that the team was solid in defence and dangerous in attack. From the tie home in front of the Betis, the whites have won six parties playing to a good level and only have empatado against the PSG, in a party that dominated.
Maybe, the team madridista have been the big benefited by the postponement of the Classical since, if the past month of October purgaba his fault of intensity and of clairvoyance, in December have arrived knowing to what play and having showed that they can face up to any rival, by powerful that was.
