4) Barcelona have imploded

At this stage, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lie level on points in the La Liga table and the eighteen goal difference sets them apart. Both teams are into their final stretch of games and Atletico seem relentless in dispatching teams. Barcelona are under all sorts of pressure at the moment.
The thing here is that Barcelona shouldn’t have been in this position in the first place. The season was set up to be one where Luis Enrique’s side would break a multitude of attacking and result oriented records on the way to a title and maybe retention of their European title to boot.
However, far from managing to do either, Barcelona now stand the genuine risk of finishing as low as third in the La Liga with both Madrid-based rivals a point apart from each other and by extension level or a point away from Barcelona themselves.
Barcelona have managed to draw one and lose three La Liga games out of their last five. If you consider all competitions, Barcelona have lost four in five. In short, Barcelona have imploded and could get dragged into a worse situation from here onwards.
