1. Barcelona are falling and they are falling fast.

It has been all downhill for Barcelona since the international break and all of a sudden everything is in shambles. They crashed out of the Champions League, extending the streak to 26 years of teams not being able to win back to back years.

La Liga is also in trouble for Barcelona as back to back losses now see them only up three points on Atletico Madrid and don’t forget about Real Madrid. The only thing not in danger right now is the Copa Del Rey final but as of right now, Barcelona have to be wary of Sevilla as well. In fact, Barcelona have to be wary of everyone. They way they are playing right now, they can lose to anyone and I mean anyone.

Barcelona have to find something positive to bank on going for the rest of the year. They are in a major slump and need to get out of it fast. Leo Messi has gone a couple of games without recording an assist or goal and it has really hurt Barcelona. We saw in the Champions League last year that Messi produced some magic last year to help Barcelona to their cup win. It was against Bayern Munich and against Juventus when he produced some magic and when it was when Barca needed it the most. This time he didn’t help produce and it costed them.
