August 29th 2013 After the highest high the lowest low sometimes follows. Not in our case but it has been a disappointing end of the week slump. After a crushing 5-0 win vs Rayo Vallecano most fans turned their heads towards the Supercup tie that was to be decided at Camp Nou hoping to win the 6th title in a little more than 3 years. Atleti tried hard, fought bravely but weren't able to score a goal. Barcelona much less fearsome than we ever remember them in the past did little and less to deserve a better result, the end of tiki-taka is nigh? For the moment what we do know is that a full season and a half of Cholo has made us recovered most of our international prestige and rivals dare not look down at us as rivals. Sweet and sour week because if you have to lose, it's always better to do so putting up a good fight, and hell, we sure did.
