nexnews – Barcelona is enduring a challenging period in La Liga, not only dropping five crucial points in their last two matches but also dealing with unusual injuries that cost two players their teeth.
In the dramatic 2-2 draw against Real Betis at Estadio Benito Villamarín, Dani Olmo lost a tooth after a collision with Marc Bartra. The bad luck didn’t stop there. In their subsequent match, a shocking 1-0 loss to Leganés at Montjuïc, Fermín López suffered a broken tooth following a clash with Adrià Altimira, who surprisingly escaped with only a yellow card.
These setbacks have raised concerns about Barcelona’s form. Losing five points in quick succession has placed their lead at the top of the table in jeopardy. Atlético Madrid’s victory last night brought them level with Barcelona at 38 points, while Real Madrid sits just one point behind. Both rivals also have a game in hand, putting Barça’s position as league leaders under serious threat.
The bizarre combination of dropped points and dental injuries underscores a tough phase for Xavi’s squad. With the title race heating up, Barcelona must regroup quickly to avoid losing more ground to their rivals.
