Real Madrid took advantage of Barcelona's latest slip up domestically in what could prove to be a pivotal moment in the title race, yet there were a number of excellent individual displays across the Spanish top flight.
Valencia defeat Barcelona at home after 13 years
Estadio Mestalla hadn't seen a victory over Barcelona in the league since February 2007, with results since then being seven draws and five defeats, but despite having been close on several occasions, the victory has finally arrived.
Barcelona haven't lost four matches in a LaLiga season since 2004
This statistic tells of the dominance the Catalan giants have had in Spain since the emergence of Lionel Messi. Defeat to Valencia was their fourth of the campaign and not since the 2003/04 season has that happened, furthermore the team conceding 25 goals is the most since 26 in that 2003/04 year.
Atletico Madrid have dropped 11 points at home
Diego Simeone is under serious pressure, and the draw against Leganes marked the 11th point Los Colchoneros have dropped at home this season.
Espanyol haven't won at home for 11 matches
The Barcelona club have yet to win a home match in the 2019/20 season, which is the club's worst ever run in the top flight. Not since Sporting Gijon in 1997/98 has there been a worse start to a team's home fixtures in LaLiga.

Meaning barca are not going to unbeaten until the end of the season with how they are playing now. So you were asuming barca lost 5 matches in 2015/16 and still won the title.

it will take time to adapt to Setiens tactics and then barca will be back strong again
Seteins tactics will take time to adjust but barca are still vulnerable Busquest has slowed down along with pique. Umtiti has turned into an injury prone player. And barca have a huge problem at right back. Barcelona are overdependant on Messi as shown in the Valencia game.

but how can you say so right now?
Because by the current form it's look unlikely. Barca is nnot a great team anymore unless Messi does something brilliant every time which is diffcult for even a player like Messi. Team needs to perform. They have a chance to win only if RM starts to slipp.

In away matches barca struggle. Especially Messi and we all know if Messi doesn't play well the whole barca team doesn't play well.

Toni Kroos is disastrously underrated
