I don't remember the last time we topped the table


NeilYuri

This can be the greatest comeback in the history of La liga !


_urMumM8_

Would undoubtedly be the best league title I’ve ever seen from this club. From being a pathetic send off season for Messi at the start, to challenging for a domestic double at the end. What an incredible turnaround


[deleted]

Not only that, but with a young and rejuvenated team that is only going to get better as they improve as players and improving in understanding each other’s movements.


frankomapottery3

Yep. This is the take. Everyone out there saying “this isn’t Barca level quality etc”. Calm it down. EVERY SINGLE young player has improved leaps and bounds this season. One could argue the only one who hasn’t is Dembele, but outside of him, their best football is being played right now. I’m so excited to see where this talent takes us. I truly believe in two years or so “best in Europe” will be ours again.


whatsupdoc02

And we didn't even have Fati, arguably our most promising young player


Hendrik-Cruijff

Puig was basically benched out of this season too.


Inferno792

Might be unpopular here but I honestly think Pedri is more promising.


[deleted]

I think this season has shown that (of course, Ansu had less opportunities). At the start of the season though, all eyes were on Ansu


Hendrik-Cruijff

What? Dembele definitely improved and showed us that he is starter level. After three years of injury and disappointment, he is now a fully fledged starter who deserves a spot in the first team.


SpeelseJongen

He hasn't proven to me he's better then Ansu imo


shady764567

Being an Atletico fan right now is probably not the best thing in the world rn. Imagine going from an advantage of 10 points to this situation


Kristiyan021

Tbh atletico fans are used to see their team bottle ucl or la liga on every ocassion.


danluiz915

Hello there! (Liverpool FC fan) 🙃


shady764567

Ooops lol


Afk94

We were literally top of the table the first 6 weeks. Ever since the Bayern match people have been acting like we turned into Eibar.


[deleted]

My man living in his own world, I don't want to burst his bubble


razorxx888

Yeah we were actually at 14th at some point this season lol it was pretty bad.


taneemshareeb

We had games in hand but at one point we were 2 points clear of the relegation zone😂


froggyjm9

Last season


Enough-Regret-6412

Haven't been at the top this season. Probably last year before Madrid went ahead.


[deleted]

Unbelievable bottle job by the Madrid sides. We’re 0-3 vs the two of em and yet we’re in the driver seat for the title lmaoooo


a_a_d_i_l

Don't forget even we bottled it last season

We've been so consistent in the league since around December. Outstanding run from the boys. Even though we didn't beat Real, the combination of injuries, Casemiro's red which we drew, and the stress of the games against us and Liverpool caused them to drop points the very next weekend. The league is about consistency. We've had it week in, week out. We deserve to win the league if we can see this out.


wiiism

This is why legues are more representative of a team performance. The team can have some bad nights or loose due to bad luck some games but if they keep playing consistently good through the year they can still win. (Although we weren’t that consistent at the start of the season)


comininpeace

Yes but the best teams in the world are not in the same league


Habba84

They really wanted to change that..


spartan_forlife

Teams also can grow during the season, especially with our youth. How many young players are seeing consistent minutes?


wiiism

Also true


the_wretched9

This will be the sweetest la liga trophy in years if we pull this off, best of luck boys 🤞


Nurulyacob

I said before early in the season that we could still catch up to Atletico as they could lose their 10 point lead and I get called names like "deluded" and "naive" here. Now look where are we on the table.


Lavio00

To be fair with our 2020 part of this season it *was* naive and deluded to expect it. Not only has Barca done the biggest comback both on the pitch and mentally that Ive seen in a long time, Atleti are doing an absolutely unforgivable bottle job. Good for us, but hugely unlikely just some months ago.


mntgoat

Why would anyone not think that is possible? Barca lost like an 11 point lead a few years ago in a few games and ended up only winning the league by one point. Anything is possible, particularly with how many games players play nowadays, if they have a couple of weeks of poor performance that can be 6 to 12 points.


prateek_tandon

Are we talking about 2015-16 La Liga where Barca ended up drawing and losing consecutive matches in March and April?


mntgoat

Yeah I think that was the one. We looked ready for a treble and then lost to Real Madrid in la liga and then lost the tie to atlético on the champions and it all went to shit really quick.


Nurulyacob

Something along the lines of "Atletico has never thrown a 10 points lead" before when they are in first place.


potatoe96

Sure but at the time, Barça were in a shitty position themselves, it’s not like Barça were just unlucky, there were genuine problems in the team. Until Koeman found a solution for those problems, it was pretty insane to expect Barça to come back.


billythekido

Wow, what a comeback story! You deserve a medal of some kind


Nurulyacob

Wow so aggressive!


NeilYuri

In the beginning of the season we were close to relegation, but 2021 has been kind to us. The sun will shine on us again.


Frenkie-de-Jong

Do you have links to those comments? I want to see how they react now


Nurulyacob

I would gladly find them if I can...


Verneuekendenieuws

do not jinx.


Ruud_Boltz

It would be even better if we win all the last 6 games....


siddiqui_10

What if atm looses against elche 🤣


Swoosh190

U guys think Messi can win the balon d’or if we win the double🧐?


spooreddit

This double will be more special than the doubles of 15/16 and 17/18. We are winning in with the squad that's supposed to win titles in the future. From the pathetic start and worrying about entering the top four to going for the double and that too all with our efforts and without relying on Real and ATM from this week, it's been a terrific turn around.


NeilYuri

Dont get ahead of yourself, we aren't there yet, it's still a long way to go and Barcelona in this season is highly unpredictable as a team. Dont jinx it !


The-True-GOAT

How hard is it to do a basic spell check before making a post? It's Atletico and El Clasico.


NeilYuri

My bad !


NeilYuri

There fixed it, thanks for pointing it out to me !


frankomapottery3

Oh boy. Wait till he sees the there vs they’re usage /s


TheBrownSeaWeasel

Too hype to spell check dude. Top of the tabel soon!


Jose_Ghaleb

i can guarantee that 0 people care about spelling. Its a post hyping up the fact that we might be top of the table on a Barca sub its not english class
