The race for the La Liga title is still very much alive! I was so happy and was almost moved to tears when Griezmann greezed the ball into the net the second time. The Frenchman has been on an inexplicable wonderful form since the match against Bilbao and I hope he continues this way till the end of the season. In a post game reaction, Griezmann said and I quote.
"We reacted well to the first goal and we did not fall apart. We worked as a team. We have six finals left in the league and it is down to us. We will work hard".
You hear that? He doesn't just see the last six games at hand as just games. FINALS he calls them! And indeed Barcelona need to give the remaining games left all they have in their arsenal to sound a note of warning to teams who think we've lost our glory and to re-establish our dominance in Spain.
As expected, the home team showed and indeed proved they were ready for us as they first netted and scored on the 26th minute. Griezmann's immediate 28th minute equalizer brought us back into the game and another goal from the Frenchman 7minutes later gave us the much needed lead and got us the crucial 3 points we needed to keep our race for the title alive.
Frenkie De Jong would have also registered his name among the goal scorers as he was clean through on goal on the 84th minute but he blew it wide.
The G. O. A. T was given no breathing space as yellow shirts were always quick to surround him like ants to sugar whenever he was with the ball. Finding the back of the net 25 times this season alone is enough testament as to how dangerous he could be should he be given the slightest chance.
Barcelona have played one game less than Real Madrid and League Toppers Atletico Madrid and we are on the same point with Real Madrid while Atletico Madrid leads us with just two points. A win against Granada on Thursday will place us at the zenith of the table and I'm sure if we can break the "big game" jinx against Atletico Madrid we're no doubt going to be be crowned La Liga champions and have the second cup 🏆in the bag.💪💪
