Barcelona celebrating their triumphant over their arch-nemesis

#1 All isn't lost for Real Madrid

Whilst they are currently ninth, they only are a few points behind the Champions League places.

So a winning run could get them back into contention.

La Liga this season is very tight, but then sometimes in life, the greatest darkness is before the dawn. If Lopetegui does go, and a new manager comes in, a subsequent lift could make Los Blancos into CL place contenders, and even title contenders. Barca is only two points ahead of Atletico, and the league this season is very tight and competitive. If Alaves or Sevilla win, they either may go to second place consequently.

Today's result was a massive downer. No side wants to lose badly to their deadly enemies.

But a negative could be positive, and the beginning of a new dawn and new hope.

❤💙 Yup, Barça certainly brought the color to #ElClásico 📝 Here's the report from Camp Nou 😍 https://t.co/0daHt9hW5W
