Barça benefits from Madrid derby draw
Despite not playing, Barça was the big beneficiary of the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. The draw at the Santiago Bernabéu allowed the Blaugrana team to remain in the running for the title.
With this result, both Real Madrid and Atlético failed to add two points, which is good news for Barça. The team led by Flick must take advantage of this opportunity and win their next game at the Pizjuán against Sevilla.
If they achieve victory, Barça will be just one point behind Atlético and two points behind Real Madrid’s lead. The Sevilla field is not an unfamiliar scenario for Barça, as they have obtained good results there in the past. Since 2015, Barça has achieved three draws and five wins at the Pizjuán, and is looking to add a sixth win to close the gap with their rivals.
