Barcelona's defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico will certainly hurt for Xavi's side, but there are still plenty of reasons for optimism ahead of a long campaign
Saturday's dramatic loss to Real Madrid will hurt Xavi's side hard, but there are still plenty of reasons to be optimistic going forward
So that's the season over then, right?! Barcelona lost El Clasico to Real Madrid on Saturday in the most narrow of circumstances, as they— handing him an easy tap-in to win the game in stoppage-time. That goal came 20 minutes after a 30-yard screamer from Bellingham, a shot that was comfortably within Marc-Andre ter Stegen's eyeline, but was hit with such venom and just enough backspin that one of the world's best goalkeepers couldn't get near it.
In reality, though, there was little to separate the two sides this time around. Xavi got his tactics right for Barca, and he admitted after the game that he felt good about the performance. They were a 93rd-minute goal away from a respectable point. Sometimes, it just comes down to the other team having one world-beating player. There is no shame in that.And more broadly, this season is far from over.
