Perhaps even more surprising than over-turning a 4-0 first leg deficit to beat PSG in the Champions League was Barcelona's shock 2-1 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga last weekend. But there was one man who saw it coming.
Reports inDon Balonclaim that Cristiano Ronaldo predicted the Catalan giants to lose focus and slip up in the race for the La Liga crown after their miraculous 6-1 victory over Paris last week.
Needing three goals in the final seven minutes, Barca pulled off the most incredible comeback in recent history with twogoals from Neymar and one from Sergi Roberto to send them through to the last 16 of this year's competition.
A let down after a victory like this is normal, but Ronaldo claims to have seen it in the days leading up to the Deportivo game. He claims that the behaviour of the squad was a classic giveaway that they were not prepared to play.
Neymar missed that fixturewith an injury, but took to Instagram to post pictures of him celebrating the birthday of his sister, Rafaella.Meanwhile, other squad members also took to social media to display images of them partying in the dressing room.
The defeat leaves RealMadridin avery strong position to reclaim the domestic league title, as they are now two points clear with a game in handover Barca. The Galactico's travel to Bilbao this weekend as they look to tighten their grip on the title.
