Was the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey a slip or the symptom of a bad moment for Barça? The Blaugrana team used the match against Monaco to vindicate themselves and reassure an environment not used to defeats (80-70). Despite a spotty performance, the home side’s final stretch was solid. The Culer team dispelled doubts and achieved a difference of two games with the fifth ranked. Key strategic step to secure the track factor in the title qualifiers.
