FC Barcelona – The Season So Far.
FC Barcelona had a good start to 2012-13 with new manager Tito Vilanova. Winning the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. But all was not well as the second leg was lost (on away goals, no less) to Real Madrid. The naysayers went off with their usual ‘The shift in power has happened in Spain’ and ‘Madrid are now the dominant force.’
Five months later and this could scarcely be further from the truth. FC Barcelona sit pretty at the top of the La Liga table, nine points clear of second placed Atletico Madrid and thirteen clear of Real Madrid. To put it into perspective, no team in the history of this league has ever overturned anything bigger than an eight point gap to win the title. That enough should suffice.
