Barça faces the World Cup break with the league leadership assured

Barça had a double reward in their heroic and epic comeback against Osasuna at El Sadar (1-2). The azulgrana gave quite a blow to the League table with a victory that no one was betting on when Gil Manzano expelled Lewandowski (m30) with 1-0 on the scoreboard. But, in addition, the leadership of the Santander League is assured for at least almost two months.

The team led by Xavi Hernández will not return to the pitch until the end of the year, when they host Espanyol at the Camp Nou, due to the break that club football is now facing due to the World Cup in Qatar, so nobody You can unseat him from such a prestigious place.

Thanks to the three points it added in Pamplona, ​​Barça now has 37 points in the standings, five more than Real Madrid, second-placed with solvency. The whites still have one game left before the date in Qatar, against Cádiz on Thursday. But even if they beat the Andalusians, Ancelotti's men will not be able to reach those 37 points, so the leadership will be Barça until New Year's Eve.

Furthermore, Barça's comeback could be emotionally amortized during all these weeks of hiatus, since it has left an unbeatable taste in the mouth among the Barça fans due to the difficult circumstances of the duel.

Barça overtook Real Madrid in the standings on Saturday with their win against Almería, but did not officially take the top spot until Monday, when the Whites fell against the odds against Rayo Vallecano.
