In my opinion. Barcelona's current downturn is not the players' fault, but rather Xavi's fault for not being able to coach a team as big as Barcelona. Xavi is none other than the Spanish version of Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney. Good players but bad managers. Completely beyond his depth and capabilities.
Even though they have Pedri, Frenkie, Lewa, the best strikers, Araujo and Kounde the best defenders, and Mats the best goalkeeper. And now Xavi blames the players and keeps saying injuries and teenagers. All the players I mentioned above are the best. Just look now at Real Madrid without the main goalkeeper and all the CB players. It doesn't even have a main striker. Playing several games without a single CB, they had several injuries and two months without Vini, Cama, Carvajal and others, now Jude is injured, but Real Madrid can get through it because they have a genius coach. So, Barcelona can bounce back next season after Xavi steps down from Barcelona and Barcelona brings in a new coach.
You obviously didn't watch them last season that's reason enough for you to go ahead blasting and blaming Xavi Hernandez. He did win the Spanish League Competition last season, Yes?
I won't compare him with these legends in the Premier League. For your information, he is tested approved and trusted because he's got something to back him. Have they got any?
Barcelona has seen some Injured players and these players out Injured are completely important and core members of his squad that help win the Premier League Competition last season.
They use to be one of my favorites for the Champions League, but right now I can't day nothin. Lol.
