Send us Fan Mail Barcelona lost for just the second time in LaLiga this season at the weekend as they were beaten 1-0 at Almeria to miss the chance to open up a 10-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table. Sam, Rik and Toni reflect on that setback, fresh from the Manchester United loss, ahead of a huge week for Barça. They face Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal and then welcome Valencia to Camp Nou. The challenge facing them is even bigger due to an increasing list of absentees through injuries and suspensions, with Robert Lewandowski the latest player to be ruled out of action.
