Again it is easy to say winning league means nothing but it completely ignores where Barca were seen as being at the start of the season.
Exactly, no one would have bet 1 cent

We would have lost this game under Lucho. 2-1. Valverde at least gave us that. But, we are Barca, we should anhillate opponents like this.
Winning the league this season is not a super achievement either with Madrid's implosion. But it would show promising signs for Valverde and a good start. But some of his major blunders lately, like playing conservative football away to some poor La Liga teams, basically defending in a 4 block in midfield and just giving the ball to Messi to just dribble his way through on goal... this is bad stuff.
He basically played this game like he played vs Chelsea in terms of tactics. Even the result is similar.

Man, Madrid's implosion is not Valverde's credit at all. We've built that lead also because Madrid and Atletico lost many points in the first half of the season to poorer teams. Madrid is continuing to do that in the 2nd half of the season too, but Atletico for about 2 months is winning almost everything.
You expect me to give Valverde credit because our main rival has been crap?
It is to his credit that Barca did not implode and it proves how winning is not just 'expected' as you make it out to be when a supposedly better squad at Real have struggled.
That is to Valverdes credit and Barca have contributed to their poor season by going there and beating them 3-0.

Who thought Barca would implode? Those idiots on redcafe and not many more others. Barca almost won the double last season against much much tough opposition in what was maybe the best Madrid I've ever seen.
And where was Real? Real shitshow in La Liga helped a lot!
