Chaos and finals

Chaos with the FIFA situation seem to take up a lot of space in the media these days. And actually I welcome this as it might remove a little of the focus from the team who more or less have only finals left to play this season.

The main contender this season is Atletico Madrid who currently can stop FC Barcelona from winning both La Liga and Champions League.
In La Liga At. Madrid will visit Camp Nou in the final game!!! How sick is that?! While Espanyol will go to Bernabeu to finish their season - a pure Barcelona vs Madrid final in the league.

Looking at the Champions League FC Barcelona will play At. Madrid tomorrow in Madrid. This is the second leg of the quarterfinals (first game 1-1) and can prove to be more important than ever.
If FC Barcelona can defeat At. Madrid they not only go to the semifinals they also get the upper hand between the two before the last games in La Liga and the grand final round.

Under normal conditions the key to success would be resting important players in minor games and have them fully fit when it really counts... that's a luxury we don't have this season as every single game matters!

  • With just 1 point up to At. Madrid in the league FC Barcelona need to win all games and beat At. Madrid in the last round.
  • Champions League is the same scenario - beat At. Madrid!
  • Then in the middle of this there's a Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.

Leaving the 13/14 season with one or no trophy will not be enough as things are right now. But only time will tell if FC Barcelona will do what we all hope.
