Here we are. Not where we wanted to be.
And yet it could be worse.
Barcelona sit three points behind Real Madrid in the domestic table. They’ve yet to lose, but they have experienced three disappointing draws that could come back to haunt them.
In the Champions League, they are unbeaten, which has contributed to overall positive vibes in the locker room, and amongst the Barca faithful.
Especially when you consider the adversity that Barca has experienced, with player after player going down with injuries, week after week.
Jules Kounde won’t be ready this week, or in time for the Clasico.
