5 reasons why Barcelona could win the league this season

#3 Wounded animal

The departure of Neymar has hurt them a lot

There is no doubt that the mighty have fallen. For a club that have won the treble twice in the last 8 years, it is astonishing that they find themselves in the rut that they are in now. The departure of Neymar has hurt them a lot – psychologically at least – and they are at their lowest point this decade.

Which brings us to the conclusion that the Catalans are a wounded animal – and what does that mean? For starters, an animal is the most dangerous when hurt. They go into their own corner and attack anyone that tries to go near.

Since they are already hurt, the fear prompts them to retaliate in a bid to not be hurt anymore by anyone else. So, the Blaugranas now find themselves in a position similar to that – and they might just bite Madrid.
