Barcelona turn the tables on Real Madrid with an unforgettable month of football | OneFootball

Barcelona have experienced a remarkable turnaround in their league campaign over the past month. Their recent victory against Real Sociedad marked a flawless run of wins, while their biggest rivals faltered in the title race.

This sequence of events has led to a dramatic shift in the standings, with Hansi Flick’s side overtaking Carlo Ancelotti’s men by a staggering ten points within just 30 days.

The turning point came when Real Madrid suffered an unexpected defeat against Espanyol on 1st February. Just a day later, Barcelona put an end to their rough patch in the league with a hard-fought win over Alaves.

That victory was the start of an extraordinary run, with the Catalan side refusing to drop a single point since then.

Comparing the results

On the other hand, Real Madrid’s form has taken a significant dip. In the last five matches, they have secured just one victory, collecting only five points out of a possible 15.

Such a sharp decline in results has cost them their position at the top of the table, allowing Barcelona to capitalise on their struggles.

As the league moves into March, Barcelona find themselves at the summit with a three-point lead over Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid have also taken advantage of the situation, climbing into second place following their win against Athletic Club.

Completing a comeback

This marks a stunning transformation for the Blaugrana, who were seven points behind the league leaders at the start of February.

Now, they not only sit at the top but also have a slight cushion, giving them a bit of breathing space in what remains of the season.

With momentum firmly in their favour, Barcelona have positioned themselves as strong contenders for the title, turning what once seemed like a lost cause into a genuine opportunity for domestic glory.
