"Eppur if muove" (And yet it moves), is the statement attributed to Galileo in reference to the movement of the earth around the sun. The phrase is used nowadays and among other things, to refer to any person, entity, etc.. seem that although there isn't or not doing any business, whether it is actually doing something.
"Eppur if muove" but, can also be applied to Barça. The team of Vilanova-Roura has gone, in a few days, to be finished, tired "physically" out of ideas, out of the Cup with a foot and a half out of Europe, and the League was about to lose the (???), according to some, to get back in shape ("physically"??), by becoming the highest (almost) favorite to win the Champions League and "La Liga" at the point to solve it, since a gap of 13-point lead when they are 10 games to be played.
I do not agree with many of these theories. The last matches of Barça had been a meaningless run, with separate lines, with a lack of judgment rather large. This gave more options than usual to the opponents and Barça matched many goals.
Suddenly, the situation changed. Depor (La Coruña), has not kicked in, and Milan only had a clear one and it was an individual error rather than collective. What happened to arrive here? Well, for me, very easy. Barça returned to take the "Manual of Positional Play" and went back to the balance, to have the lines together, to find space between the lines, to everything.
"The ball give us order" said Pep Guardiola. And the ball is moving. "Eppur if muove"
