LaLiga matchday 18 has been full of surprises: Barça, Sevilla and Rayo have achieved victories, to 'take advantage' of the punctures of Madrid, Atlético, Betis and Real Sociedad

Calendar of FC Barcelona

LaLiga Is to the red alive, although the Real Madrid is 'too' leader, but now without so much difference. The White House left to escape two points in front of the penultimate of the classification, the Cádiz. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti accumulate 43 units in 18 parties, whereas the Seville 37 units with a crash less. The difference right now is of six points, to fault of what happen in the pending crash between the Andalusians and the FC Barcelona of this Tuesday.

The madridistas have not been the only in 'puncture' this weekend. The Real Betis, in the third square, fell defeated against the Athletic of Bilbao, that 'roared' in Saint Mamés with a doublet of Iñaki Williams and a so much of Óscar of Frames on the hour so that the victory remained home. It supposes a 'frenazo' for the ones of Manuel Pellegrini, those who had had some very positive weeks.

The Athletic of Madrid was another that 'punctured' and leaves the feeling that is very far to be the team that topped champion of LaLiga in the past season. They accumulate three consecutive defeats and the situation begins to be more than criticism. There is not answer 'some' to defensive level and Jan Oblak is not the same 'wall' of always to save to the 'colchoneros'. The Real Sociedad, finally, also fell in this day; in front of a 'renewed' Villarreal comandado by Gerard Moreno.

After all the 'pricks', is a FC Barcelona that achieved a victory 'in extremis' against the Elche, in the Camp Nou, thanks to a goal of Nico González. The Barcelona picture 'saved', but the result allows him recortar distances with the leadership. Already the 'top 4' does not see so far and that is the best news for the directed by Xavi Hernández. And it is that, if the Barça wins against the Seville, will be in European places, with the same points that the Ray (30).

The party against the Andalusians is, as little, key for the immediate future and, especially, have hope with what can happen in the 2022. Speak of a traced back to the classification sounds impossible right now, but yes can trust that the things improve. Everything depends of the result and the image that leave the Barcelona against the ones of Julen Lopetegui... A victory to keep the hope and illusion.

The Barça has a lot that improve

Although it is true that in this day the Barça, beside the Seville and Ray Vallecano, finished as 'winning', could carry a true surprise against the Elche. The first time of the culés was sensacional, with determination and good football, something that finish in the second half. The Barça became a predictable team to the that hurt him with very little and the ilicitanos took advantage of for empatar in a minute. Fortunately, Nico appeared and marked the goal of the tranquility... And also of the hope.
