Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola offered no excuses after defeat at Osasuna.
Guardiola knows their latest slip gifts Real a massive advantage in the title race.
"Distancing ourselves from Madrid is painful ... the reality is that we were already at an important distance and I imagine it will increase [tomorrow].

What you mean by again? It was a second loss in about 40 games in all competitions. There were again some biased refs calls which gave the opponent a whopping 2-goal advantage but Barca players and especially Pep should start seriously thinking what they are doing constantly wrong away from home. The team cant really control the matches, decide the games early on by converting their chances, nor use their full potential. The team cant get ugly wins and is very vulnerable when they are dragged just a bit out of their own comfort zone.
Pep made things even harder with silly midfield selections, Thiago aint able to carry the team and Sergi Roberto despite his obvious talents is even less useful currently, why both Xavi and Cesc were on bench? Especially after Villa´s injury Barca has become too midfield oriented team which cant turn their superiority into goals, the team lacks a genuine goal poacher inside the box. Pep has used the other tridente attackers as an extra playmakers and now the rest of the players are pretty much just feeders for Messi who has scored only 3 away goals in the league.
Catching Real is pretty hard now considering refs decisions this season and knowing opponents lack of motivation vs RM, but Barca is still doing fine in copa and CL and RM fans cant really jump for joy as long as they cant beat Barca in head-to-head matches, we may witness Real´s "barcelonitis" again in CL this spring...
Its over for barca.....madrid should gladly acept de new year gift dat has been handed to them......up Blancos
So it goes from Defoe to Lennon, which was it?
