Riqui Puig: Barcelona’s diminutive silver lining

With every setback in the current title race, Barça fans breathe heavy. Even when Barça have been in front, the league has always felt like it’s Real Madrid’s to lose. As if we were somehow playing catch-up. Barça, due to a neverending set of circumstances, speculative and otherwise, have been left playing second fiddle.

There has been a silver lining, though.
