In Spanish history, there is also no record of any team being able to win a title with a deficit of 10 points. In recent years, the biggest points difference for a complete reversal was Valencia in the 2003-04 season. At that time, they were eight points behind Real Madrid but after 38 rounds, they led Barcelona by five points to win the league title. In the 2001-02 season, Valencia also performed a similar feat when they overcame a six-point deficit and eventually won nine points more than Real Madrid. However, a similar situation occurring this season is unlikely due not only to Real Madrid's good stability but also because Barcelona has recently shown mediocre performance. The team has been fatigued on multiple fronts, players have been affected by injuries, and they have been powerless in all competitions.
In the game against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona's strategy was not to speed up the pace of the game. They knew that if the game went into a frenzied state, Atletico Madrid's passion would be ignited, and problems for Barcelona would increase. Josep Guardiola instructed his players to continue controlling the ball, but the protection of the ball was unprecedentedly strict. He didn't want the risk of the opponent stealing the ball leading to fast counterattacks, which could increase the burden on Ronaldinho. This also reflects Barcelona's inability to firmly control the scene.
Diario Sport says that Barcelona's away style is not so likable because the team's play is easy to see through, and the football is slow. But relatively speaking, for some Barcelona players with poor fitness, this style is the most appropriate. In the past, Guardiola's team crushed competitors with an all-out approach. Now, Barcelona often contracts on the road and can only lead through a war of attrition, where Valdes' contribution is indispensable.
In fact, as long as Barcelona plays at the Nou Camp stadium, they completely adhere to their own talented style, because in traditional terms, this is what fans demand. Because of this, however, Barcelona encounters teams like Atletico Madrid away from home who refuse to surrender, requiring them to expend a lot of effort to secure victory.
