DO BARCELONA DARE SCREW UP WITH THE TITLE IN THEIR HANDS....ON THEIR HOME TURF???
Somehow...Barcelona can REALISTICALLY win the La Liga. Out of nowhere, a team that were down and out and looked to end the season with no trophy, may actually from the depths win the league. This is after Real and Atletico have FLOPPED and thrown away points and gifted Barcelona the best possible chance to win the league...ON THEIR HOME TURF.
Martino seems to have been the fall-guy to the failures of Barcelona. Very unfortunate and WRONG, but that's how it is. But what would happen if Martino actually ends up WINNING the league with Barcelona then what would the detractors say? Losing to the Champions League finalists and potential winners and runners-up in the Copa Del Rey is not so bad for a FIRST season with a team that is ageing.
This is a golden opportunity for Barcelona to win the league. IF they fuck this up, then this would be a complete CHOKE of a season for them. To have a title-decider at your HOME STADIUM, knowing a win can gift you the title is something that ANY team would dream of. I don't see Atletico winning this league and I just can't see the game ending in a draw and a win for Atletico would be a STRETCH.
It's an amazing and perfect way to end a season and it's quite odd how this just so happened to be the final game of the season. You can talk about conspiracy theories and all that jazz....but as a neutral, (or a hater of Barcelona's tic-tac-toe), it's definitely going to be quite an event that CAN'T be missed.
