Barcelona almost lost a game on Saturday night and if you think they looked good when they beat Real Madrid 5-0 in December you should have seen them when they were a goal down against Sporting Gijon with 15 minutes to play.
For Gijon, who took the lead in the first half and ended Barcelona's 16-game La Liga winning streak with a 1-1 draw, the closing stages were, to put it mildly, an intense experience.
Gijon repelled one Barça attack only for another to materialise immediately. It was, as football reporters of yesteryear used to write, like the Alamo. But this was the Alamo in 3-D, with James Cameron directing.
