The Barça has not achieved the victory in a lot of important nights of this season, so much in LaLiga as in the Champions League

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, although it struggled to the end in Valdebebas, has added a new 'disappointment' this season. The culés left three points importantísimos in his visit to the Real Madrid that had left him in a very comfortable situation of face to the last stretch of the season. In spite of the extra effort, the opportunities, the influence or no of the referee's decisions, the Barça closed another important night with defeat.

And it is that the blaugrana have remained in a worrisome position in the most important parties of the season. Against the Madrid, in the first turn of LaLiga, also fell, in the Camp Nou, and left the feeling that the things were not at all well. In front of the Athletic, in Wanda Metropolitan, the situation was exactly equal. The ones of Koeman, that have improved notably in the last months, continue without imposing in front of the 'big' of the football, a situation that leaves a lot of doubts.

Only to the Seville the Barça achieved to take him out two victories, in League and Glass, but is not a secret that the aspirations of both teams are very different and that the ones of Julen Lopetegui do not suppose a 'challenge' for the championship. Of rest, the culés have failed when more important was to win. It happened in the Supercopa of Españto, when of 'miracle' happened to the final in batch of penaltis in front of the Real Sociedad and later fell in front of the Athletic of Bilbao.

In Champions League happened twice. After a flawless beginning in the European competition, with five victories in five parties, the ones of Koeman fell in the last day of the phase of groups in front of the Juventus, in the Camp Nou, in the reunion of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the Barça had ensured his pass to eighth, lost the leadership of the group and happened a lot of bills, by the rival of the culés in the following phase.

The Barça could avoid the crossing in front of the Paris Saint-Germain in eighth if the 'Vechia Signora' had not annotated three goals in the feudo blaugrana. Definitely, the history would be very different, mainly because the PSG arrolló to the ones of Koeman in the Camp Nou (1-4) to leave the eliminatory practically sentenced. In the turn, in the Park of the Princes, had not traced back epic and the Barça conformed with a tie (1-1).

The Madrid, the last disappointment

Orna defeat in a Classical hurts the double for the two teams. The Barça arrived launched for the crash in front of the eternal rival after achieving an impressive series of 19 parties without knowing the defeat in LaLiga Santander. A victory had meant that the championship was, literally, in the hands of the culés. Now, no longer they depend on yes same.

Besides, it supposes the third consecutive defeat of the FC Barcelona in front of the Real Madrid. They fell in the past season, with Setién in the bench, by 2-0 in Santiago Bernabéu, as well as the two defeats of this season, but with Ronald Koeman to the control. It is, curiously, the first time from 1978 that the Madrid achieves the victory in front of the culés in three consecutive opportunities.
