The defeat against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid (1-2) left FC Barcelona out of the LaLiga lead for the first time this season. The Catalans finished the first half of the season with 5 defeats, 3 of them at home<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The defeat of FC Barcelona against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid (1-2)<\/a> marked a cruel end of the year for Hansi Flick’s team. In addition to losing 3 points at home for the third consecutive match, the Catalans also let go of the LaLiga lead, which they had maintained solely since matchday 3. The azulgrana team was co-leader with Celta de Vigo in matchdays 1 and 2, but after their victory in Vallecas against Rayo (1-2), they stood alone at the top.<\/p>

Last week, after the defeat against Legan\u00e9s (1-2), Bar\u00e7a had already put the lead at risk<\/strong>, as both Atl\u00e9tico and Real Madrid still have a pending match. The ‘White House’, the rescheduled match against Valencia (matchday 12), and the ‘rojiblancos’ the match of matchday 18, which both cul\u00e9s and ‘merengues’ advanced due to the Supercopa de Espa\u00f1a dispute.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a could finish third in the first half of LaLiga<\/h3>

However, a victory against ‘Aleti’ would have allowed Bar\u00e7a to close 2024 at the top of the standings, waiting for what Madrid would do against Sevilla and Valencia. With the fall against Diego Simeone’s team, this possibility not only fades away but also leaves Flick’s team very close to finishing the first half in third place, six points behind the ‘colchoneros’<\/strong>.<\/p>

For this to happen, Atl\u00e9tico must win their match on matchday 19 (at home against Osasuna)<\/strong>, while Madrid only needs to beat Sevilla at home this Sunday to surpass Bar\u00e7a in the standings. The azulgranas remained at 38 points, three less than Atl\u00e9tico (41). Carlo Ancelotti’s team stays at 37 points and would reach 40 after defeating the Sevillians.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
