New record difference with Real Madrid: 19 points

 

The Liga Santader has ended with a new record difference between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The white defeat against Betis (0-2), coupled with the Blaugrana draw in Ipurua against Eibar (2-2) has left the distance between both teams in 19 points.

The new record surpasses the 17 points that the team of Ernesto Valverde achieved last year, a distance that equaled the difference established in the 1984-1985 season, with Terry Venables at the helm of FC Barcelona.

That course, Barca was champion, with 53 points, while Real Madrid was fifth, with 26, behind Athletic, Athletic and Real Sociedad. Amancio Amaro started directing a white team that ended with Luis Molowny in charge.

The 17 points of distance were much more meritorious, considering that at that time only two points for victory were added.

Last season, the Blaugrana team won the title with 93 points and the Madrid team was third, with 76.

The greatest historical distance between these two rivals is still in favor of Real Madrid, which the 2002-2003 season finished 22 points above Barça.

Vicente del Bosque led the white team, while at Barça Louis van Gaal started and Radomir Antic finished, after a transitional step by Toño de la Cruz.

The Barça is without rivals: PSG and City deny that they will sign Griezmann

 

  • The departure of Griezmann unleashes the transfer market.
  • Enrique Cerezo: “More than angry, I’m disappointed.”

FC Barcelona is still the team most likely to hire Antoine Griezmann, who this week announced his departure from Atlético de Madrid at the end of the season. The Catalan club is one of the few with economic capacity to terminate the player’s contract, for the 120 million euros stipulated by its clause, and more to learn that two of the European soccer giants are not interested in the French striker. One of the teams with whom Griezmann had been linked is the PSG.

However, his coach, Thomas Tuchel, has denied his interest on Friday: “Griezmann could play in any team in the world and would like any coach, but it is not realistic,” said the German coach, who believes that the PSG should be strengthened with more defensive profile players to opt, at last, to really compete for the Champions League.

Another that is self-discarded in the bid is Manchester City, by mouth of his coach. In his appearance before the final of the FA Cup, which disputes this Saturday at Wembley against Watford, Pep Guardiola has reassured his former fans: “Do not worry about Barcelona, ​​we are not going to sign Griezmann. We can not afford it, “he declared.
