Barcelona have not been without their problems in La Liga this season, but it does appear that Ernesto Valverde’s side are hitting top form at the perfect time as they start to open up a bit of ground on the chasing pack.Indeed, five straight victories in Spain’s top flight have seen the reigning champions move five points clear at the summit.
The Champions League does not return until next month, meaning that Barcelona can focus on their domestic form over the next few weeks. As mentioned, their La Liga fixture list is quite kind, but they have work to do against Levante in the second leg of their Copa del Rey tie.
