The world continues

The Barcelona on Saturday recovered the bitter feeling let out a title. Just a month ago the League was 10 points and conquer seemed utopian. But after swimming and swimming for Real Madrid he drowned on the shore. A KO was not in the most optimistic plans. I would say that neither of the pessimists. The three points were taken for Camp Nou together-not by the club, then by the media and most fans, but escaped in the most painful.

Playing against the leader is what you have. Whites showed more packaging than its rival and ended up conquering Blaugrana enemy territory with a booty worth its weight in gold: the League. The Jose Mourinho put an end to the hegemony FC Barcelona, ​​which lasted three courses. But the trees do not prevent us from seeing the forest. Because it is true that Barca let slip a golden opportunity, but before it has a chance to recover in less than two days. And how.

There are some, indeed, benefit the slip Classic to discuss end-of FC Barcelona. It is the ace in the hole that handle certain buffs bar journalists to discredit the archenemy: a year ago, when the Cup ended in the white museum display cases, there was so hackneyed that thesis. However, the time came to make clear that a white title as one Blaugrana, is not incompatible with a white fiasco, as another Blaugrana. That one win does not mean that the other fails.

I do not share, much less, that vaunted end of cycle. A squad with own style which is capable of reaching the end of the season fighting for the title to a direct duel, which is classified for the fifth consecutive for the semifinals of the Champions League and has reached the final of the Copa del Rey doubt that is on its last legs as a team. An end of cycle is not measured by a defeat, but by a series of poor results or widespread negative trends.

I see a Real Madrid that is reaping the fruits that Mourinho planted on arrival. And I see that could grow if it is given. But its growth did not perceive an alleged drop the club. He made it to where despite injuries to some of their key players, with a staff very fair in terms of number of troops forced him to pull the quarry, which still works like a charm when taking the break it.

That is why in the league but have not done things well enough to deserve it, the truth is that tomorrow, against Chelsea, has the ability to recover. And I have no doubt, if falling removed, nor would end the cycle. 13 of 17 titles supporting its folosofía and password will still fight for everything to end. It remains the Cup, and I do not want to imagine the argument of certain characters if the Catalans have just achieved the double. In short, the world continues. And passing through the Champions League.
