After a slow start, Barcelona have found a consistent groove to take pole position on the La Liga ladder this week and this comes after suffering their first loss of the season, and a humiliating one at that.
They lead their main rivals Real Madrid by only a point after 19 games, with a resiliant Sevilla sitting precariously in 3rd.
It seems a two horse race now with any drop in points vital as we move into the 2nd half of the season.
In Champions League news, Real Madrid have all but secured a Round of 16 birth with an unbeaten start to their group stage. They will look to consolidate top spot when the reverse fixtures begin in the coming days.
La Liga rivals Barcelon haven't done it quite so easy, with a loss against their Russian opponents ruining a perfect unbeaten start to their season. They now have a nervy battle to ensure they progress, however with a side as talented as Barcelona, boss SB shouldn't really have any problem.
