Barcelona's start of 2016 began with a trip to city rival Espanyol where they were held to a
disappointing goalless draw. Then bang bang they went undefeated in January with victory against Atletico Madrid the stand out.There was a sweet revenge against Celta coming too on the Valentine's day. Champions league round of 16 saw Barca come up with familiar foe in Arsenal and at the end they breezed past the Gunners over two legs. Disappointment was waiting for Barca in quarterfinals as they faced fellow la liga rival Atletico whom they had succumbed to 2 yr back at the same stage. This time too the outcome was similar, yet even more disappointing for Barca given their lacklustre show in 2nd leg despite winning the first 2-1 at Camp Nou. Barca continued their Journey in Copa del rey and la liga. Smashing 7 past Gary Neville's Valencia in Copa del rey . They went on to lift the title beating Sevilla in the final. In la liga they had once a healthy 12 point lead over Real Madrid but a bizzare slump late on in the season including a 1-2 defeat at home in clasico saw Barca surrender their lead and almost the league title at the end. But thanks to timely return of form , the Blaugranas lifted their back to back la liga title on the last day of the season.
The new season has begun in August and as always Barca have had a good start in the beginning. But a few draws and unexpected defeats have seen them lose some ground at the top of la liga to real Madrid. With re-enforcements in midfield and defense, Barca have got some depth in their squad. They have entered the knockout stage of Champions League topping their group pretty comfortably and have entered round of 16 in Copa del Rey. With the winter break players have got a much needed break and will be all refreshed to march on with their challenge of winning yet another treble to add to their illustrious gallery and as a cule I firmly believe we can and we will do it again.
Visca el Barca.
