Barcelona may have won the cup this season and somehow returned to the championship race after a weak season opener, but if they do not win the title, they will well remember their embarrassing balance this season in big games.

In the Champions League she screwed up against Paris Saint-Germain in the moment of truth, and in the league she suffered two losses to Real Madrid and ended in a draw against Atletico Madrid.



Today (Saturday) she finished 0-0 at home against the Colchoneros, and has only one point out of 12 against the two contenders for the championship.

This is its worst balance against the Madrid rivalry since 1964/65.

Bottom line, in its eight key games against big rivals (Juventus, PSG, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid) it has only one win in eight games.

However, Gerard Pique knows the championship fight is still open.

"We were hoping for a better result, but we are still alive," said Pique. "Given the results in the league this season, the race is still open, three games is a lot. I think we had more chances and better than Atletico, which is the best defensive team in the league."

Pika believes that "if we win the three games we have left, we will have a chance ... our goal is to fight until the last minute. I have been in this club for many years, and it is always the goal, to fight until the last minute, it is our duty."



Atletico Madrid arrived at the Camp Nou hoping to win there for the first time since February 2006, but a good first half was not enough when Marc-Andre Ter Stegen stopped the ex-Luis Suarez as well as Yannick Crasco celebrating on the right wing of Barcelona's defense.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi provided an ingenious personal operation that almost ended with a ball in the net, but Jan Obelek stretched and perhaps spoiled the goal of the season.

Leading coach Diego Simeone was dissatisfied with the ability of his trainees: "We are in a great race for a championship where four teams are looking for the best finish. We came to Barcelona to play with determination, as a team, with confidence, and worked hard in the game we were ready for. We held the game, we went out well for bursts, we saved great balls. They had the opportunity for Dembele, and we had Crasco's. I was left feeling that the team did a great job, and that we would continue like this, game after game, not go crazy in this situation. "Spirit and prepare for Sociedad. Farm after game."



Luis Suarez, who met his former teammate, gave his friend Leo Messi a warm hug before the game.

At the end, he posted on his personal Twitter account: "Today was a difficult game. We will continue to fight to the end to achieve the goal! It was a special day, to return to Camp Nou. Now we will rest, and prepare for what awaits us."

Suarez, as usual, tried to squeeze a penalty, disguising himself in the box after Ter Stegen's exit, but the replays clearly showed there was no contact between the Barça goalkeeper and the Atletico striker.

In Madrid he mocked the move, and the SS wrote: "When Suarez played in Barcelona, ​​these actions would have angered his opponents and the crowd. This time, Suarez tried to hurt his former team. It did not work."

Did not touch it, it did not prevent it from twisting.
