Barcelona, it is widely accepted, have the league wrapped up.
They sit 12 points ahead of Atletico Madrid and a further a four ahead
of Los Blancos—even Jose Mourinho seems to have given up the ghost (via
The Independent):
"The
La Liga title is impossible now, there is too big a gap. We have to
focus on other goals like the Copa del Rey and the Champions League."
Had they lost last night's Copa del Rey clash—
rather than winning 3-1 to advance to the final—they may have felt the need to restore some pride, instead it is highly likely they will rotate with Manchester United in mind.
With
"La Decima" up for grabs still and a cup final place already in the
bag, it would be futile to go out all guns blazing against Barcelona and
risk injuries. Particularly when they play in the Champions League just
three days later.
Barcelona have a longer wait until their
Champions League day of reckoning, though, so rotation is not as thrown
upon them as it is Madrid.
