On the one hand, I’m ready to believe that Lewandowski’s motivation decreased because once he got to Barcelona, he clearly felt that this was not a transition up, but definitely a downward one (Lewandowski became very familiar with the Europa League and lost the habit of playing in the Champions League playoffs while playing in Barcelona haha), but after all, the change of situation should have had a positive effect on him. Most likely it’s a matter of age - he is actually 35.5 years old and this is the age when most football players have already finished playing football. Miracles rarely happen (Ronaldo), so it should not be surprising that Lewandowski, having worse physical capabilities, also has worse motivation.

It is a matter of age and less a matter of motivation. The reason I am saying this is two-fold: on the one hand he declined offers from Saudi Arabia and I think someone who is undergoing declining motivation may get to a point where the desire for more money outweighs the passion for playing the hardest games possible. On the other hand I watched a few interviews he gave in German when he explained why he wanted to go to Barcelona and leave Bayern after breaking and setting all these records. He said that Barcelona has been a lifelong dream for him and he felt it was the perfect time to give his career a last challenging shot. He was super happy about his little children and his wife being able to live in a wonderful, sunny place and he was on fire when he was speaking about his new challenge in Barcelona. It didn't really come across as if he was taking that step to slowdown. I rather thought he wants to prove one more time that he can do it at another top club at his age.

Las Palmas and Cadiz are not tough opponents for Barcelona so I think that Xavi not being able to accompany the team during these two matches will not have a big impact, now Brcelona is in top form with high self-confidence and this will make it easier for them when they meet tough opponents. the quality is still below them.
Xavi will only be able to accompany the team during the E Clasicco, this will be very interesting.

Barcelona has fallen so bad... imagine having xavi announce that his gonna quit Barcelona?.. like... Are we going forward or backward? Cadiz has now grown to become a TOUGH? Did you say tough team for Barcelona?... How bad the Barca management team has crashed the Liga titans... For some couple of years to come, Barca may not have the luck to foster an era of another great player.
Madrid hasn't changed alot -- with the fact that the authorities are willing to expand their budgets to get the best from the young players onboard...

Miracles rarely happen (Ronaldo), so it should not be surprising that Lewandowski, having worse physical capabilities, also has worse motivation.

Its difficult when talking about age for a professional player because in the later ages it is possible for them to find it increasingly difficult to maintain their performance except for a few people who can still be stable like Ronaldo or Modric in Madrid and even then it is rare because very few players in old age can maintain their productivity in terms of performance.
This is one of the problems that cannot be avoided and I think Barcelona knew that but did not think too much beforehand so the purchase of Lewa at that time was immediately made even though the price was quite expensive .
This season his performance has decreased greatly and indeed we also cannot force it for players of Lewa age at this time and what Barcelona can do is force other younger players to play an active role. Its just that for next season it looks like they have to prepare for all possibilities because with the current conditions forcing Lewandowski back is not a wise choice even though it can still be done because of their current financial limitations.

I'm sure they have and they will.
Currently Barcelona's position is runner up, 2 points higher than its competitor, Girona. For the next 2 meetings, I am sure that Barcelona will still be in the runner up position. But next, they will face their main competitor, namely Real Madrid. This definitely won't be easy and the chance of winning is not that big. So, Barcelona must optimize all opportunities to compete with other clubs to get full points.

Barcelona is just two points ahead of Girona, meaning they have 64 points while Girona has 62. But I've been trying to measure up the challenges that both teams have in their next fixtures before the end of the league. For Barcelona, I think it won't be that difficult for them to win over Las Palmas and Cadiz in their next matches. But against Real Madrid, it will be their toughest match and their chances of winning that match are very low.

As for Girona, their chances are slimmer of overtaking Barcelona at this point because their next match with Beltis is uncertain. Looking at their previous fixtures, one could deduce that the chances of Girona winning their next match are almost 50-50, if not 40-60. So that's the analysis. Afterward, they will also have matches against Atletico, Cadiz Las Palmas and Barcelona. And with the way they are playing, unlike in their early days, I don't think they will be able to overtake Barcelona at this point. But it is also important for them to maintain their position so that they can become stronger and have the opportunity to play in the next Champions League tournament.

Indeed, if you look at the remaining matches, unfortunately Girona still has a lot to experience or face quite strong opponents. And it won't be easy for Girona to face them. Moreover, there are indeed several strong clubs. So, Girona must always be optimal when playing against lower middle clubs so that their steaks can get full points from these clubs. And this once again, will always be a challenge for Girona.

There was a loss for Xavi because he got 2 yellow cards against Atlhetico Madrid. This allowed Xavi to miss 3 matches. Against Las Palmas, Cadiz and Real Madrid. A disadvantage, because at the moment Barcelona is in improved form. They haven't lost after playing Villareal.

Xavi will just lose to matches but he will return against Real Madrid, he will just lose las palmas and cadiz but he will come back in the el clasico, so that when Real Madrid are winning them they should not say it is because of their coaches that is not round that makes them lose, I am sure Real Madrid will probably win the match because they will not let Barcelona lose or draw in the match, let see what xavi information xavi will play in the second leg xavi will not l If Madrid wins five consecutive matches without losing or drawing any.They will be the winner of the laliga trophy this season.

It was regrettable but it was also difficult to avoid because it was in the great tension when facing Atletico before making him do some actions that should not have been done.
Actually, in terms of punishment Xavi will only get a ban of 2 matches to accompany Barcelona on the side of the stands, but because this is the second red card for Xavi, it is possible that he will experience additional punishment and it could be 3 matches passed by Barcelona without Xavi.

But with the situation that is happening now for the first 2 matches against Las Palmas and Cadiz I think it is still very possible for them but it is a different story if it is when facing El Clasico because there must be more encouragement from the coach when big matches like this.

The pivot points will be when Barcelona plays Real Madrid. I have no expectations for Palmas and Cadiz because they are poor La Liga teams and expect them to lose three points against madrid. I am concerned about the upcoming match against barcelona because it appears to determine the winner of the La Liga this season.
If Madrid loses to Barcelona, it will have no chance of winning the La Liga trophy this season. Barcelona must let Real Madrid win the title this season. The match against Barcelona will be crucial for Real Madrid's chances of winning the competition caused by there will be no competitors who can get closer to the madrid anymore since barcelona will lose it.
If Real Madrid fails to beat Barcelona, they will have to work even harder than they did before. I believe Real Madrid will win the game, and here is my bet.

Real madrid win against cadiz
Real madrid win against palmast
Real madrid win against barcelona or BTTS.

That's my choice for the upcoming bet on la liga. We are still quite far from those matches, but I'm sure Madrid can get easy points from Cadiz and Palmas.

Xavi protested too loudly to the referee and in the end he was sent off in last week's match. I hope that Barcelona will not experience problems when Xavi is not accompanied and the assistant coach is expected to be able to do his temporary job well. It's not easy when the competition is getting tougher, especially with Girona, Barcelona has to face this and I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem. The important thing is that team unity does not decrease and that is what they must maintain.

I doubt that the absence of Xavi will have any negative effects on the team. I don't perceive him as a coach who is able and understands how to influence the game from the sidelines. An average coach like him has very limited influence on the game when he is standing at the sideline. There are world class coaches whose presence means something to the players on the field, but Xavi isn't really one of them. The communication between the main coach and the assistant coach will still be there and there are still instructions going on. It's just a different voice then.

You may be right, or you may be wrong about Las Palmas and Cadiz. Both teams are often underrated, but they could be the team to stop Barcelona's good run towards the end of the season. Cadiz will be fighting to get out of the relegation zone and they don't care who the opponent is, meaning Barcelona could be stopped if Cadiz really plays without pressure.

In April, Barcelona have a busy schedule and they need to approach it carefully. There is a match against PSG between the two La Liga matches, so they cannot relax in the hope of winning against the two middle and bottom teams in the end. De Jong and Pedri are still injured, as is Gavi, so they don't have many options if some of their main players enter the treatment room.

What happen to Barcelona this season? Really a surprise to see them not able to maintain the credible moves of last season when they lifted the La Liga title. The current form of Barcelona is in doubt, even the supporters doesn't have believe for the club, they can't meet up the firing performance of Real Madrid this season, underperfoming actions whenever they meet Los Blancos who are absolutely striving for great results.

Barcelona will continue to figure out solid path for winning because this season gave been a terrible one for them more specifically in La Liga matches. What are you pointing out? Xavi Hernandez will always climbed the edge of his team despite his absence towards upcoming matches. Xavi Hernandez issued a red card by the referee and this is bad news for the team, the players will guided by the assistant coaches, atleast they sits in position to provide aides for the progress of the club.

The match that you think is easy may still be tough for Barcelona. There is no guarantee that Barcelona can always get 3 points against Cadiz and Las Palmas, but Barcelona's chances are good. Barcelona plays at home against Las Palmas, while they will travel against Cadiz and of course the chances of winning in these two matches will be different.

We know who the favorites are in these two matches, but I never think the favorite team can always win. The match against Las Palmas may be a bit easy because Barcelona is playing at home, but Cadiz cannot be underestimated after what could be a tiring match against PSG in the first leg of the quarter-finals. The distance between the matches against PSG and Cadiz is quite close, so Xavi may need to take several approaches so that his squad can perform optimally in all these matches.

I actually think the same and the impact of the red car unfortunately will have a big impact on the pitch as next 3 games for Barcelona are not easy any longer. I can already see Real winning El Classico but also Las Palmas to score against them and with a bit of luck they can make a draw. This should also be a recovery chance for Atl.Madrid after they lost to Barcelona , they need to win next 3 games and hope Barcelona will stumble.

Xavi is a coach, so it doesn't look like the punishment is that long and as far as I know, when a coach gets a red card, it seems like the coach only misses one match so Xavi can't accompany the team in the match. Also, when a player gets a red card, at least the penalty is only missing one or two matches and not three matches. Thus, it will not be a problem if Xavi is not on the sidelines for Barcelona's next match in La Liga. Therefore, for the match against Real Madrid later, of course Xavi will be able to be on the side of the field to accompany the team in the match. In essence, red card penalties on players and coaches, I believe have differences punishment and are not completely the same and as such, I am sure Barcelona will still be fine.

I don't know how many matches Xavi had to miss after being sent off by the referee in the match against Atletico Madrid, but of course it was a loss for him and his team too. Xavi is a coach who talks a lot to the referee, he protests a lot and it harms him rather than benefits him. He quite often gets banned from accompanying his team on the sidelines, so it's a habit or maybe something unique to him.

I'm not sure what Xavi is trying to prove to the La Liga refereeing committee with his protests at many of the refereeing decisions. He definitely has a mission and he will not stop protesting it even if there are losses that will be incurred. Of course it would be very detrimental without him on the sidelines, but he can instruct from afar.

It's an easy fixture for Xavi's Barcelona, I don't think Las Pallas and Cadiz will put much pressure on Barcelona in their current form. The big derby El-Clasico, which will take place later, will be a big test. They still have the possibility of catching Real Madrid on paper, but Xavi needs to go through this process perfectly.

It is hopeful that there are not many missing players in the squad. They overthrew Atletico Madrid, now it may be Real Madrid's turn, who knows.

Facing Las Palmas should not be a problem for Barcelona even though they will be without several players. Las Palmas are far below them, so it would be a shame if they couldn't win this match which is quite easy, especially since they will also play as hosts in this match.

Their landslide victory against Atletico Madrid is very valuable capital, they will face opponents who are not much better than Atletico Madrid so they must be able to win this match because almost everyone predicts they will win this match.

Xavi will prepare everything, they also need a win to maintain their position in the standings, at least to maintain their position in 2nd place. The reason is that they only have a difference of 2 points from Girona who is in 3rd place. Girona themselves will definitely try to return to their best performance in order to seize their position which is now taken by Barcelona.

I wonder why management continues to put pressure on Xavi even though their performance is not bad.

I hope that Las Palmas can trouble Barcelona a little at home, although I don't think that Las Palmas can win at Barcelona's home ground next weekend. But I hope that there will be a little surprise that Las Palmas can bring into their match even though Las Palmas' strength level is still not comparable to Barcelona this season. And on the one hand, Barcelona still has to get more points through the remaining matches because the fight for the runner-up position will continue until now so Barcelona must be aware of this.

Against Las Palmas will not be too difficult for Xavi troops if we compare their respective strengths, but Xavi also needs to save his players energy because in front of him there is an important match that must really be maximized. Against PSG you need to be at full strength and not with a broken line-up. PSG is very ambitious to quickly steal points and that requires Barcelona to be ready to match PSG playing rhythm in Leg 1. Barcelona who must come as the visiting team, is certainly not the favorite and that will make PSG even more confident. Even though PSG is the favorite, it still won't be easy if Barcelona back line and midfielders are able to block Mbappe movements.

Barcelona by their ranks has no excuse in losing against Las Palmas not Cadiz by virtue of the absence of their coach in any of those games. It is not for team like this that such excuse should be made. So am confident that Barcelona will continue with the winning streaks maintained their position on the Laliga table. Ordinarily coaches absence has a way of affecting players performance and ginger but then for players that understand themselves with good communication flow on the pitch just the assistance of the coaching crew in the absence of the main coach is enough to give them the needed win particularly when playing with an average team.
