Ancelotti: Congratulations on Barcelona league this season and next!

Barcelona team achieved victory over its counterpart Espanyol in the match that brought the two teams together in the 35th round of the Spanish League, to clinch the championship title for itself for the 27th time in its history.

Barcelona’s victory in the title was absent for four years, in which it was achieved by its rivals, Real Madrid and its counterpart, Atletico, and the Catalan club waited from afar, watching the atmosphere.

But how did the Catalan club achieve that title over the terrible Real Madrid, the Champions League champions, and the same team that excluded Barcelona from the King’s Cup by four at Camp Nou?

Defensive system, but not a bus!
Barcelona has so far only conceded 13 goals in 34 La Liga matches, which is definitely a record.

If the Catalan club succeeded in finishing the season with that number, it would have achieved an unprecedented number in all major leagues throughout history.

The Catalan team now has only four matches, and if it concedes two more goals, it will equal Chelsea’s record.

But what is remarkable here is not the defensive toughness that the Catalan club possesses at the local level in the Spanish League in particular, but that this toughness did not clearly affect the team’s style and its constant desire to win aesthetically and achieve good results, and we will return to that later.

Gifts Ancelotti spy, and congratulations to you next season!
If we look closely at the opponents’ season, specifically the most difficult and always closest opponent, Real Madrid, we will find that the capital club has not been a real competitor throughout the season.

Barcelona never suffered from the pressure of Real Madrid except for a few weeks at the beginning of the Spanish League, but then began bleeding points that have never stopped to this day, and perhaps will continue given the continuation of the royal club in the Champions League until now.

In any way, this is what Real Madrid warned us about last season, and we confirmed it to Florentino Perez, that winning the league title under the leadership of Ancelotti is only due to the decline in competition from opponents, and that his presence is tantamount to the presence of a spy in the ranks of the royal club.

The Italian does not know how to win the Spanish League, and suffers in front of small teams, as if he were playing teams he had never seen in his life before.

What we warned about in this report is the disastrous extent of the royal defense, which conceded 32 goals this season, at a rate of approximately one goal per match, and what we warned about is that Benzema will not always be the solution, which is what happened this season specifically at the league level.

And if Ancelotti continued next season in the technical leadership of Real Madrid, and whatever names the royals would include in the transfer market, then Barcelona would be blessed with a new championship role.

acceptable pragmatism
A return to Barcelona itself, and the strong defense that led it to win that absent title. On 13 occasions this season, the Catalan club managed to win by a single goal.

Of them, 11 matches ended with a goal to zero, which led the Catalan club to collect 39 points out of its 85 points in matches whose outcome could have easily changed.

But what is remarkable here is that Barcelona’s pragmatism was not deaf, and it could be accepted in the end, given that on many occasions he dominated and missed many opportunities, and the opponent could not breathe in front of them.

Well deserved commendation to the management
The Barcelona administration received a lot of attack last summer due to the sale of the club’s assets and the purchase of several deals to support the team in several centers.

But now and from here, praise should be directed to them after everything they have succeeded in achieving this season, whether with the Super Cup or the Spanish League achievement.

In the end, Robert Lewandowski came close to the title of top scorer in the Spanish League and was one of the most important reasons for achieving the title, and with him the great contribution of Rafinha in scoring at the time of Osman Dembele’s absence from injury.

And the defensive solidity presented by the duo Jules Conde and Andreas Christensen, and Frank Casey’s constant readiness to attend at any time the coach requests, all of these things make us confirm that had it not been for last summer’s deals and the sale of some of the club’s assets, the team would not have achieved the Spanish League title.

Objectives are not exclusive
One of Barcelona’s most important numbers in the current season of the Spanish League and its achievement of the title is that 17 players scored the team’s goals in the tournament.

Apart from Lewandowski, the top scorer in the Spanish League so far, there are 16 other players who have scored against opponents, and they are Rafinha, Pedri, Dembele, Fati, Fern Torres, Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Frenkie de Young, Eric Garcia, Javi, Kessier, Marcos Alonso, Christensen, Depay, Baldi and Conde.

This number is necessary because the Catalan club will not stop scoring goals if Robert Lewandowski, the source of the greatest threat, misses him, which has already happened in four matches this season against Atletico Madrid, Getafe, Girona and Valencia.

The whole point
Barcelona achieved a well-deserved title in the Spanish League after years of suffering, even in the presence of the likes of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and other stars.

This happened for several reasons, perhaps the most prominent of which was the deals that the club made last summer by mixing it with the promising youth squad that the team owned.

This is in addition to the weakness of the rival Real Madrid at the local level and its continuous loss of points, which is expected to continue as long as Carlo Ancelotti continues, in addition to the great defensive strength of the Catalan club.
