FC Barcelona have rebounded from losing El Clásico with a string of good results that have put them more than two matches ahead of Real Madrid.
It was in October of last year when the Catalans lost 3-1 with goals from Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo through a penalty. Ferran Torres got the only goal for Barcelona.
That’s when the blaugrana went three points behind Real Madrid and looked like they might go trophy-less once more. But things have radically changed.
In the next eleven games, Barcelona won 31 of 33 points - only dropping two points against Espanyol in a draw in the Catalan derby.
