Vinícius Portrays Barça Like Never Before after Barça-Leganés, the Image Says It All

Real Madrid and FC Barcelona were unable to take the three points in their respective games on the last day of the Liga. The visit of the white club to the Vallecas Stadium ended with a controversial 3-3 that was confirmed by the 0-1 achieved by Leganés in the Olympic stadium of Montjuïc.

The defeat of Hansi Flick's men has widened the gap between both teams even further. The fight for the Liga title would therefore depend on the game  that Real Madrid must play against Valencia next January. This game seems crucial for the future of a table that is already beginning to undergo few changes.

The most troubled teams are at the bottom of the table. The bad moment for  Valencia, unless there's a radical change in the second half of the season, leaves them at the bottom of the table. Real Valladolid and Espanyol are also in relegation right now.

Both teams are still battling with others, such as Rayo Vallecano and Leganés, for survival and to continue one more season in the First Division. Vinícius' gestures after the clash in Vallecas, referring to a possible relegation to the Second Division, was the focus of much criticism from Barça fans. But the game between the Barcelona team and Leganés made it clear that they are not free of finger-pointing either.

Same gesture, different reception

Because a section of Montjuïc, during the match against the 'pepinera' entity, intoned the famous "to Segunda, oé". This chant, clearly heard in the venue temporarily used by FC Barcelona to play its home games, has barely had any impact. This fact draws attention, especially because it is of the same nature as the one made by Vinícius at the end of the match in Vallecas.

The chants emitted by the Barça fans in Montjuïc, hoping that Leganés would be relegated to the Second Division, come after the criticism directed at Vinícius Jr. It took the Barça fans just a day to make the same mistake that they had criticized so much during the previous night.

Once again, time and the newspaper archives have played a trick on the FC Barcelona fans. The feeling of invincibility that Hansi Flick seemed to have brought to the Catalan team has faded with time, creating a certain nervousness in the Catalan capital in recent weeks.

Especially since a 'bad' Real Madrid is just one point away from tying the Barcelona team in the league... and two points away from taking the lead and being crowned winter champions in the next round. Their sporting performance is increasingly irregular and could cost them dearly at the end of the season.
