Seems very likely now, doesn't it? The recent 8 point lead on rivals Real Madrid in La Liga has catapulted Barcelona to possibly win the league this season, with only 8 games to go. Told you Mourinho couldn't change anything!
Today, Real Madrid played Tottenham in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals with a 4-0 win that gives them the edge for the second leg match next week. Surprisingly, Inter Milan lost a devastating 5-2 to Schalke 04, something I would have never predicted. Inter Milan has been doing very poorly lately and even lost to Serie A rivals AC Milan 3-0 last week. It would take a lot for Inter to still make it to the semi finals of the Champions League, in spite of winning it last year.
Tomorrow, Barcelona plays Shakhtar Donetsk, one match i'm looking forward to simply because it's going to be a thrashing defeat on Shakhtar's end. I'm certain Barcelona will make it to the finals of the Champions League this year. It is very likely that they will win the finals with the unprecedented amount of success they're having so far, breaking numerous long standing records along the way. And no, I don't believe in "jinxing" something. Only time will tell ...
All I have to say regarding the Spanish Cup finals in a few days amongst Barcelona & Real Madrid is that Barcelona never fails to step up to the plate, and delivers when it needs to most. I still remember the last El Clasico in which Barca won 5-0, it was a thing of beauty.
I'm anticipating that this is going to be another Treble Season for the red and blue like the one back in 08-09. Recent statistics show that of the 30 La Liga games the Blaugranas have played so far, they have won 26, tied 3, and have lost only 1 match against Hercules back in September, having scored 82 goals with Messi leading the top scorer of La Liga coupled alongside Ronaldo, each with 27 goals. They have an unbelievable record of going 28 games unbeaten this season, and it would be a shame for Barca not to win a Treble.
Vamanos Blaugranas!
