Everyone feeling positive this Monday? 

Franck Kessie's stoppage time winner handed Barcelona a third Clasico win in a row and, more importantly, moved them 12 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga with just 12 games left. Sergi Roberto had earlier cancelled out Ronald Araujo's own goal at Spotify Camp Nou. 

Sam is joined by Toni, with a sprinkling of Rik, to discuss why Barça are more than a club, the LaLiga title moving into sight, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, the Camp Nou atmosphere and why parking on a double yellow line is always a penalty offence even it it's by just 10 centimetres.

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.

Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-0 on Sunday to move eight points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga after Los Blancos were beaten by Mallorca on the same day. 

Sam, Rik and Toni return to discuss that victory over a Sevilla side in relegation trouble. There was a joyous return to the team for Jordi Alba, an encouraging display from Raphinha and some precious minutes for Franck Kessie -- although they came at the expense of the injured Sergio Busquets. 

Are Barça now favourites for the title? Or are we too obsessed with asking that question? All that and more in Monday's Siempre Positivo.

Barcelona will face Real Madrid three times in just over a month in March and April after they were paired together in the semifinal of the Copa del Rey. Sam, Rik and Toni discuss Monday's draw and give their thoughts on the Clasico-heavy period coming up.

They then rewind to Saturday, to look back at Barca's 1-0 win at Girona, which saw them move five points clear at the top of LaLiga after Real Madrid were held by Real Sociedad. That win came with a setback, though, with Ousmane Dembele injured. Is it time for Raphinha to shine?

Barcelona beat Getafe 1-0 on Sunday to maintain their lead at the top of the table. Pedri got the game's only goal but it was not Barça's best performance of the season. 

Sam, Rik and Toni discuss why that might have been the case, look at the front line of Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha and reveal some high-profile footballers who were among the Camp Nou crowd. 

They also look ahead to Wednesday's big Copa del Rey quarterfinal against Real Sociedad.
