After Real Madrid lost points yesterday, Barcelona had the chance to rise in the league.
This was not the case.
The team fell to Almeria 1-0 and leads the Spanish League with seven points.
After being knocked out of the Europa League earlier this week, Barcelona have no choice but to play in the league to focus on this spring.
And after second-placed Real Madrid only conceded a goal against Atletico on Saturday night, Barcelona were in a position to move further in the league.
Despite this, the team did not succeed in defeating the newcomer Almeria, who placed themselves before the match in the 19th position of the table.
Instead, it was the home team who scored the first goal in the 25th minute of the match when striker El Bilal Toure was freed and in a very characteristic way he smashed the ball over the crossbar.
In the second half, Barcelona tried to equalize the score and pressed the host team hard at times, but Almeria stood well and held firm.
Barcelona did not have an answer to Almeria’s goal and could not equalise.
Real Madrid enters
Thus, Real Madrid became the biggest winner of the round after 1-1 against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona continues to lead the Spanish League, but instead of taking advantage of Real Madrid’s loss of points and extending the difference to ten points, the “meringue” plays a major role in that. Barcelona leads the Spanish league with seven points.
The next match that Barcelona plays is against Real Madrid, but then in the semi-finals of the local cup, the King’s Cup.
The match will be held on Thursday, March 4th. Sportbladet broadcasts the match exclusively on Plus.
