Not if get stop losing, there few weeks match's back, it was terrible and very poor, that was November precisely. They had the worst moments in their season but Atletico Madrid hasn't fly higher than them. Right now, the difference is just 3 points, nobody knows they are going to lose to Atletico that is in the same place where they left, it would have been a better but luck wasn't on their side. There is still time to make amends in the areas they didn't do well.

Atletico Madrid are not alpha as well, they have draw alot of matches they should have won and it doesn't mean they wouldn't repeat more. Barcelona through out their games before this happens to them, they only made 1 loss but the repeating loss made it worse but they can make it stop and come back to their game than for Atletico to win this Trophy, as long as Real Madrid and Barcelona remain in this journey, there is more to expect in the league till June.

What is strange in this case is that no one has criticized Flick's tactics after the series of defeats he has had at Barcelona in this half of the season even though if you look at what happened before where the winning streak was carried out there was a lot of praise for this coach only it was inversely proportional to the current minor results.

Barcelona have tasted their 5 defeats this season for La Liga which is the same result Xavi got in 1 season last season. But in the end the treatment is a little different now even though Barcelona lost Flick seems to remain comfortable with his position because many consider this not his fault when losing but the fault of several things such as the players who are lacking and the tight schedule.

Even though if we look further this result could have been worse for Barcelona if at the end Flick did not do his job well from now on especially from their minus results in the last 5 matches it is seen that even though they are strong in terms of dominance but they are still very easy to concede the ball in a match.

Barcelona has been losing and drawing games since yamal was hurt. And when he returns, Barcelona will progressively improve, win games, and most likely draw them. Flick needs to employ a new technique on the pitch because I'm sure many clubs understand the offside trap, and it's quite difficult to see Barcelona catch offside like before. And, as you can see, Athletico Madrid did not enter the pitch offside, as Real Madrid does. Flick still has a chance to win the league this season because they are only a few points apart in the league standings. So any club that fckup will undoubtedly go down, the laliga competition will be more difficult after the Christmas break since Athletico Madrid, Barcelona and  Real Madrid no one will like to lose any point that will make them drop in the position they are currently.

Let's see how the competition will continue to be and I'm thinking Athletico Madrid or Madrid are the club that I see they can win the laliga this season again because Barcelona was leading with clear 8 to 9 points if I'm not mistaken in the league before they started performing poorly and making Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid near them in the league table and even overtake them in the tables and Athletico and Madrid have upstanding games to play so I see Barcelona won't see space again, expect they didn't perform very well anymore.

Despite failing to win a trophy, Barcelona still deserves appreciation, because they were able to maintain their existence in the midst of the financial crisis that hit. The La Masia Academy has saved Barcelona from the slump, without having to spend a large budget, Barcelona has a pretty good squad depth. For now and in the future, Barcelona must prioritize academy players to be promoted, it is a very wise step to save the budget. Hansi Flick can promote other young players, without having to be actively involved in the transfer window.

With a limited budget, Hansi Flick seems able to manage Barcelona to compete at the top of the La Liga standings, although he is actually also interested in recruiting new players if possible. The opportunity to achieve success remains open for Barcelona, ​​not only in La Liga, they also have the opportunity to win trophies in all competitions they participate in. It takes patience and extra work to get out of the financial crisis. So far, even though in the last few matches Barcelona have often lost points, Hansi Flick performance has been quite satisfactory.

Barcelona lost many points in vain which made their pace increasingly inconsistent lately and it was very beneficial for their rivals especially Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in taking over Barcelona's position in the standings. Barcelona's poor performance was very surprising because the defeat from Real Sociedad had a bad impact on the mentality of the players where they failed to win the next matches and also suffered defeat when facing Las Palmas.

Now for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid they have only played 18 matches and Barcelona has played 19 matches. So the two teams above Barcelona still have one match that has not been played and if they both win then the distance between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be 6 points. Barcelona must find a way in the second half of the season to perform better in order to reclaim the top position in the standing.

With the surprises that typically characterize La Liga, it is hard to predict what the remaining matches hold for the league. Nevertheless, from the way Barcelona is playing right now, the challenge they have, to return back to wins, seems very tough. Inconsistency in their results of matches and vulnerability in defense prove to be major problems that are also impossible to overlook.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has shown better stability. They seem more solid in maintaining a balance between attack and defense, which is the key to success in a long league like La Liga. And if Barcelona does not immediately improve their performance,, especially in terms of guarding the back line, the chances of reclaiming the top position in the standings will be even smaller.

Football, however, can be rather unpredictable. and I hope that Barcelona can drastically improve in the second half of this season, so that they will provide serious competition.. Although, Real Madrid appears to be better placed to scoop the title this season.

Yet a point difference can win the title for a club, but yes let's not judge with that , there's no too much difference between them but Barcelona is so screwed at the moment as they will be having a game less which means that could  already be upto 6 points gap from the first position.
Realmadrid  can still work with the single point margin between them and ATH but after Barcelona losed 3 points to Athletico, Realmadrid is more like giving them a 5 points gap unless they losses their outstanding  game, this is why I think they are so screwed.  

Hence,all they(Barca) can  do for now Is wait to utilize  chance that comes from both teams flop, that's if they make use of it but apart from that they are getting left behind from the league title  race.

Barcelona at the beginning of the season was very good, even many said that Barcelona would return to glory in the hands of flick. However, in the last few matches they have experienced obstacles in addition to the physical condition of the players who are not fit, Hansi Flick's strategy relies too much on offside traps that have been read by every opponent. If Barcelona wants to compete in La Liga with the Madrid duo, Hansi Flick and the Barcelona squad must learn from experience.

The reason is that Barcelona's current weakness when viewed from the previous few matches is their defense line which is too weak. If the opponent's attackers are smart in positioning plus their midfielders are smart in releasing the ball to the attackers, yes Barcelona will easily concede goals. Just look at when they lost against both strong and small teams, their goal schemes were almost the same because Barcelona's offside trap backfired on them.

The season is still long but Hansi Flick has a tough job because Barcelona has currently played 18 matches while Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have only played 17 matches. Of course, having a reserve match like this will be an advantage for the Madrid duo to continue to widen the points gap with Barcelona.

If Barcelona still manage to win the La Liga title, it would be a really huge success. Because they are trying a different thing you know. They don't have the financial power to bring many stars for big amount of money anymore.

This has pushed them to care about their talented youngsters more. They will need to be really patient for them to improve and create a solid team. In the meantime Hansi Flick is still doing a pretty good work with the current squad. 

Despite having many really young players, Barcelona have done a good work so far in this season. They have been impressive in the Champions League too. I can't imagine how successful this team can be in the future with a great manager like Hansi Flick.

In my opinion, Barcelona will no longer be able to stay at the top of the table, because Real Madrid is the kind of team that, when it starts to perform well, can remain stable until the end of the league, this is because the Real Madrid coach has focused a lot on strengthening the team's defense, we just have to see that Real Madrid has only conceded 12 goals in 18 games, while Barcelona has already conceded 18 goals in 19 games. If Barcelona had a good defense, they could have some chance of returning to the top of the table, but in my opinion they will not be able to do so this season. I see Real Madrid being able to be champions again.

Considering the games that both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are playing for now compared to their performance, I don’t think they will be able to lose any game unless their performance gets poor again, which I don’t think Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid will be ready to make their best effort to maintain the stand in the league. I'm even having more hope in Real Madrid because they will not like to even go on a draw because almost all their opponents are not that strong of teams, so they will not hesitate to ensure they secure those 3 points each.

But if Barcelona can take their performance more seriously and try their best in winning all their games, which we all know will be very hard for them. Then they will be able to take the chance to step up a bit if either of those two teams loses their base in performance.

Then obviously these fans get their expectations wrong for some reason because talking about an era in conjunction with the name Flick is  quite ridiculous as the guy is the Barcelona coach for five months now. But it demonstrates in an interesting way how quickly things can change from good to bad for anyone.

But this is the same thing with young talent when they play a few good games, score a few goals and maybe are great dribblers, the first thing you can read all over the place is that the next Messi is in the making. It is ridiculous to use those words ever because they are usually talking about players that haven't won anything at that point. The chance that any player will reach the quantity and quality of individual awards that Messi reached is essentially zero until it is not anymore. I believe in the saying that every record will be broken at some point, but you know what I am talking about. It is the same in tennis with Djokovic. Or to believe that someone can win the French Open 13 times like Nadal...

Barcelona's performance is already declining, and I have said this before: if Barcelona drops from that first position, there will be a problem because getting back is going to be a tough one for them. Now Barcelona is already in the third position in the standings, and that is really surprising. Atlético Madrid already took over the top spot, while Real Madrid is already the second team in the table.

Definitely now we will see how Barcelona will meet up and even get the second spot because currently RealMadrid is also getting back their performance while Barcelona has been losing their matches recently. I’m not looking at how Atlético Madrid will maintain their performance to be at the top. 

I think the team lacks motivation and if they can be motivated then they might get back to their  former state where they once had their way against every other team in the league. Right now they can't even beat a weak team in the league, they do not make use of their home advantage and that's why no team is scared of them and this is one area the coach has to work on so as to restore the team's confidence and get them back to winning ways  and also back to fighting for the top position where they were before they started loosing some important games that led to their sudden decline.

Right now the standings do not really scare me because the points difference between the top four isn't much  and at such you can't really tell who is going to clinch the title considering the inconsistent run of all the top four teams. Further more, the standings goes to show how bad Real Madrid and Barcelona have been performing which was what gave room for Athletico Madrid to overtake both of them to the top.

There is nothing strange indeed, because I personally also always consider Real Madrid even though at the beginning of the season Real Madrid did not look good. Because after all, basically even though Real Madrid experienced a decline in performance or did not start the season well but, at the same time Real Madrid was still there and had good efforts in the competition in the top four. So of course, these results will still make Real Madrid have  a chance to return to the top of the standings. Indeed, I've also previously admitted that Barcelona are looking good with their new manager, but at the same time I've always been wary of a Real Madrid resurgence and or, a drop in Barcelona's performance that would make their position change quickly, and it really happened.

Hansi Flick was playing very well for Barcelona at the beginning of the year. Injuries to players affected Barcelona a lot because they do not have a large player pool like Real Madrid. The new players who replace injured players cannot perform as well. Lewandowski has been ineffective in recent games. The Polish player, who played very well at the start of the league, has been almost absent from the field with his ineffective play in the last few games. If Atletico Madrid wants to continue their championship fight behind Real Madrid, Barcelona will wait for the players to return from injury as soon as possible.

The thigh injury suffered by Ferran Torres is quite worrying, I think his recovery will probably take more than 3 weeks,
Yamal and Ferran Torres are figures who are really needed by Barcelona in collecting points, previously proven by Yamal's absence in several matches, Barcelona struggled to get full points until finally being shifted from their current position.
Hansi flick must find the right solution if he still wants to compete competitively with Real and ATM.

You can't compare Barcelona's situation now with that of Manchester city because at least Barcelona remained at the top of the la liga table till last week that they were dethroned but Manchester City didn't get such privilege because Liverpool was always at the top of the table and even though Barcelona has declined in performance lately, they were initially up and doing before the challenges they are facing right now unlike Manchester City that has lost consecutive matches and still they are not able to return back to form yet.

I believe Barcelona will come back to form again because since they were able to start the season well till this time that they are going through a difficult time, they can still return to form and turn things around because even Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid that are ahead of them now may not be able to maintain consistency for a long time so there is still possibility of Barcelona reclaiming back the top of the table.

Many of us were just happy when Barcelona appeared formidable at the beginning of the season, some of us thought they were going to lift the LaLiga trophy to deny Real Madrid the chance of doing that this season. Seeing them perform this less, to lose matches they were supposed to, makes me feel discouraged about Barcelona's target of lifting the LaLiga trophy this season. I don't know what went wrong with the team, but I believe that Flick will do the needful for Barcelona to bounce back in performance by next year.

The news says he'll be out for about 3 weeks, which is a mere trifle. With other teams suffering from an injury epidemic (look at Real Madrid), Barcelona are doing well. But if they continue to lose points due to such trifles, then we can say that they are out of the title race. Real and Atletico are already ahead + have a game in hand.
