Sociedad 3⃣-0⃣ Atletico: Barcelona One Win Away From their 25th La Liga Title
FC Barcelona was handed a gift yesterday. Despite enduring a 2-2 draw to malaga, Barcelona can clinch their 25th La liga title. And that is as a result of Diego simeone's side surprising lose away to real sociedad. Diego Simeone's side were second best throughout the game and fell behind when Willian Jose turned home a cutback by former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj. Juanmi made it 2-0 late on when he drove in before getting his second in stoppage time with a chip.
Barcelona will win a well deserved La Liga title with victory at Deportivo La Coruna on 29 April. They have been the best team so far in the league. This Barcelona team is very different from what we use to know. They are based on defensive solidity. And with the resurgence of their goal keeper, Marc ter Stegen. Coupled with pique and Umtiti being in fine form for the large part of the season, they have been able to rack up 18 clean sheets. Second only to atletico Madrid. Also they have conceded 19 goals so far this season. That is in stark contrast to last season. The 2016/2017 season produced 28 wins out of 38 league matches. 6 matches were drawn and 4 matches were lost. They conceded 31 goals(which is high compared to this season). While they kept 12 clean sheets. Though Barcelona tightening things at the back this season have led to a reduced goal scored, but that have led to Barcelona not losing a single game this season with five games remaining. If that happens, d icing of the cake to a season of mixed success will be for Barcelona to finish the season without a defeat. No la liga team have ever achieved that feat. As a matter of fact, very few teams can boast of such achievement. Steaua Bucharest, Celtic, Milan, benfica, Ajax, Arsenal, Juventus, Dinamo Bucharest, Nottingham forest. To name a few. But in other for Barcelona to join such elite group, they will have to win next El clasico coming up on Sunday May 6 2018. And as always happened in the past, it promises to be a classic showdown.
