Pep Guardiola has taken Barcelona to the heights of world football, but his team has never been in a tougher situation than now- trailing Spanish league leader Real Madrid by six points and facing a loaded fixture list that will complicate the chase of its inform rival.
Guardiola has had an unprecedented run since he took over as Barcelona's first-team coach in the summer of 2008 with a club record 12 trophies, including two Champions League crowns and three straight Spanish league titles.
Yet a surprise 1-0 loss at Getafe on Saturday broke Barcelona's 27-game unbeaten streak and left it trailing its fierce rival, which is playing its best football in years.
Guardiola, however, says ''I don't think the league has slipped away.''
