Barcelona almost held on in Andalusia but Lady Luck was against the Blaugranes on this occasion.
A draw before the game would, probably, have been considered an acceptable result, though the way the Catalans played against Granada, they deserved the three points.
There was a lot to admire about Barca’s play under Xavi once more.
The team are playing with a lot of heart, and that’s something not seen for some while. There is passion for the shirt, for the badge.
Gavi flying into tackles is a prime example of the urgency with which the team continue to play at present.
