After a goalless draw with Getafe today, Barcelona have gone 3 games without a win. In today's opening match, Barcelona overwhelmed the opponent and should have won. Raphinha and Balde both hit the visitors' post in the first half. In the second half, Lewandowski and Raphinha were denied by excellent saves.
Getafe's only attempt to score came from Mayoral, who almost brought home a goal. At the moment, Barcelona is leading Real Madrid to 11 points, but if they continue to drop important points, Real Madrid can close, even take the lead. Looking at their next three matches, it can be said that Barcelona could face more difficulties. Take a look back at their next three matches.
- the next 3 matches of Barcelona;
* Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid
The third-placed team Atletico Madrid is in excellent form recently, having won the last six matches in the league. Barcelona should be worried about his recent form, and if they're not careful, they could lose this game. * Rayo Vallecano VS Barcelona
Barcelona will definitely try to win this match. Eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano are now closer than ever to a European competition, and they will do their best to beat Barcelona at home.
* Barcelona vs Real Betis
Real Betis are only 3 points away from the top 4 position and they are well aware that a win against Barcelona will be very important. They will certainly aim to fight against Barcelona.
Considering Barcelona's recent form, you would agree with me that the next matches will be difficult and could jeopardize their championship hopes.
