Barcelona - From desperation to hope in three days

Valencia achieved against Real Madrid what was thought impossible: they won and gave new life to a league that almost seemed decided on Sunday, just minutes before Messi scored penalty against Leganes.

Then, the match in Barcelona headed for a draw that would have left 3 points to Madrid with two matches less to play, what would have given them 9 points of difference.

The unexpected triumph made Barcelona hold on to the chance of title, with little hopes that the players of Real Madrid would fail in their upcoming matches.

Now, 'La Liga' has been spiced up: let's not forget, Real Madrid is leading with one point and has still one match less to play; if they win against Celta they would be leading with 4 points. A quite stingy advantage, if we consider what is still left in the Spanish League.

One must not forget that Madrid hosts Barcelona and Atletico at home, but they still have to visit difficult fields like San Mames or the Madrigal.

The Spanish Liga has gained new life and is now more exciting than ever.

Will Barcelona dare to hope?
