Of course, because Barcelona needs to refresh stronger players to be able to compete in this fairly tight league. However, due to limited funds, this becomes difficult. Whether it's Xavi or someone else who becomes the next coach, it will definitely be a tough challenge for him to rebuild Barcelona to be as strong as before. Lewandowski, became Barcelona's successful purchase after his glory days began to fade. But now the condition is not as great as before. He was injured several times and was unable to play optimally. Barcelona needs a much stronger forward besides Lewandowski, at least not just using Lewy. Not only that, Barcelona's defense can also be said to be quite weak, right? But what else, this time there hasn't been much change due to limited funds. This will be quite a tough challenge for the next coach. Especially after Barcelona's inability to win against lower-class teams, it is really sad to see their disappointment. Luckily, Barcelona is still in 3rd place, so at least they are still safe from entering the UCL qualifications.

Oh yes, now Bilbao is playing against Almeria. And this is quite annoying too. Even though Almeria only played with 10 players since the red card was issued in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, Bilbao were not able to take advantage of this opportunity and score a goal. This is truly unfortunate. Even though the match has now entered the 85th minute. What's worse is that Bilbao are also quite pressed by attacks from Almeria. What's this? 

Barcelona will not be fine as long as their financial condition is not good. Last season Xavi successfully won the La Liga title when his squad was really good and the system he built worked perfectly. Barcelona only conceded 20 goals in 38 matches last season, but this is the opposite this season. Barcelona has conceded 33 goals in 24 matches and this number will continue to increase considering that there are still 14 matches yet to be played.

Barcelona management has to work hard to improve their squad next season and Xavi also has to make sure this season doesn't get worse. The performance of Barcelona's defensive players seemed unstable due to injury problems, which made it difficult for Barcelona to end the match without conceding. You may be right, it makes a lot of sense for Barcelona to maintain a safe position in the Champions League zone instead of fighting for the title after Real Madrid created a 10-point gap.

I don't know if Granada is playing really well or Girona is getting worse now
Barcelona were 2 up and they had to come back with 3 goals by Granada in this match. Barcelona's attacking line actually played very well but it was covered by the poor performance of the attacking line which made their performance become floating and unable to make a good thing.
Though in the last few matches they played quite well but in this match Xavi again had problems.
Honestly, I still emphasize that their tiki taka is actually still very good until now but when you see their attack patterns that are always all out, this creates a gap for the defense and it was proven in this match where they were completely helpless in the face of Barcelona's counterattacks.

This season Barcelona is really unlucky, and also has a very fragile back line. Regarding the front line, I don't think there is anything that needs to be commented on because the proof is that they are able to score goals easily, but unfortunately they always have weaknesses at the back.
With these results, Barcelona should focus on maintaining their position rather than desperately trying to catch Girona's points. Currently Barca's big threat is being overtaken by Atletico Madrid, Bilbao and Real Betis. If they are careless, it is possible that next season they will miss the Champions League qualification.

You are right that currently Real Madrid is focusing on the UEFA Champions league and La Liga. Real Madrid are looking promising and strong against Girona because they are the one of strongest teams in La Liga as well as UCL so on the pitch Real Madrid did not hesitate to face a club like Girona.
And in matches, Real Madrid have performanceed so well. Besides that All players contribute so well, like Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo and Jude Bellingham. The three players are the key to getting the victory because all of them have the beautiful ability to get goals and give the team the victory. In the addition Killyan Mbappe will be good for Real Madrid if they get success to get the chance to sign him. Because they already have good players despite Killyan Mbappe's signing, it will give them a lot of confidence.

They seemed extra focused against Barcelona. I don't remember them playing this well in their other matches, but this match could be a breakthrough match for Granada. If you can score 3 goals against Barcelona, ​​you can score against other teams. They scored important goals against Barcelona and there is no choice but to congratulate Granada for this match.

Consistency is the top priority for Xavi Hernandez this period because mere watching the performance and stats of Barcelona, it's not encourageble to watch their matches. They can't move to the top because they're showing zero signs of transforming to a formidable team. Barcelona dropped heavily in performance, they have no solid ground of bouncing back to triumphant victory this season, definitely weigh out of line. Barcelona changes in elite performance, they lack the imperative qualities to hold unto because the players are out of line.

I'm not really sure about what happened to Barcelona in the match against Granada. Barcelona should be able to get a double advantage when they play at home, but they let Granada steal 1 point and continue suffering for Barcelona. Of course I didn't expect this, but the result of the match did not go according to plan.

It's a bit regretful to see Barcelona fail to close the points gap with Girona who previously lost to Real Madrid, but everything has ended so I think Barcelona's target this season is the Champions League zone. Meanwhile, Barcelona will have to do better against Napoli in the round of 16 in a few days, Xavi will have to give his all and make this team more balanced. Of course he managed to get some new young talents from the academy, but the players were not very strong due to their lack of experience.

They have conceded a total of 33 goals in the 24 matches they have played. Although they can have a productive attacking line, I can't hide their weaknesses.
For example, in their last match they were held to a draw by a team in the relegation zone, Granada. They did score 3 goals, but they also conceded 3 goals which ultimately prevented them from winning. From this we can see that balance is something that every team must have. Many teams that have a sharp attacking line but they do not have a solid defense must fail.
And what is more worrying is when they can't do anything to make their defense better, including they can only stay silent when the transfer market arrives because of the financial limitations they have.

In my opinion, Barcelona's reign of football is slowly coming to an end. The fact that Barcelona could not win their home match is a big proof of that. As a Barcelona fan I feel a lot of shame for the bad streak of Barcelona players. If Barcelona continue to lose their consistency like this, it won't take long for Barcelona to join the ranks of weaker clubs. Now Barcelona should acquire new players for next season. So that Barcelona can once again be at the top of La Liga.

I don't recognize this Barcelona. This team cannot be one of the best teams in world football for years. Barcelona should not concede 3 goals from Granada in its home field. This should not be accepted. They should analyze where they are making mistakes. The team's defensive zone is facing serious problems. They should make a new transfer to the defense.

There is a bad record that haunts Barcelona when they play Granada. Not only this season, Barcelona also drew last season both at home and away. This bad record makes Barcelona uncomfortable every time they face Granada, Barcelona even failed to maintain their lead despite dominating the match. Regardless of the reasons including weak defense and others, the head-to-head record is something that cannot be completely ignored.

Apart from Granada, there are other teams that always give Barcelona difficulties. The team I mean is Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona has always failed to get full points against this team in the last 5 matches. There is prestige between lower teams like Granada and Rayo Vallecano when playing against Barcelona, ​​but that doesn't mean Barcelona is completely bad.

I can't imagine Barcelona not winning against a team like Granada. More importantly, Granada scored three goals in this match. Barcelona conceded 3 goals against a team in the relegation zone. I'd say it's a shame for Barcelona.

Granada's attack is not strong. Even then they scored 3 goals against Barcelona. This proves that Barcelona's situation is now very deplorable. Xavi should just fix his defense now. If the defense is not strong, we will see such miserable results of Barcelona in the future.

Barcelona defense of this season is gonna be one of the worst this club has in his entire history man, is incredible how easy the enemy teams can make damage on them, no matter how, with a long ball, with passing, with crosses, no matter how they allow goals, and keep in mind they still ahve a super goalkeeper who saves them of much more goals.

I can no longer understand Barcelona's condition this season, even though they have added some pretty great ammunition like Gundogan. The draw against Granada was clearly a blow to Xavi, because the players seemed to no longer follow his instructions. I think conditions like that will be very detrimental to the team as a whole, because even though the opportunity to win is no longer possible, the Blaugrana players should still show their professionalism on the field.

Barcelona did not deliver a satisfactory result, and I expected them to win easily. Granada performed admirably in that game, and I believe they deserved the one point they received. Barcelona needs to work on their playing style and should not be losing to a team like Granada at this stage. After losing the match, the point gap between them and Girona has widened once more. Actually, given Barcelona's performance, I don't expect them to overtake Girona for second place in the table. Although they can finish in the top four, but they will not finish second on the table with their current performance. They need to improve on their performance.

It is really a big detail about their success as well, same with Manchester City as well. When a team is good, they are good but they have bad games here and there, which puts them in tough positions sometimes, and the fact is that Real doesn't really have bad games all that often, they end up with playing as well as they could in almost every single game, probably in all of them.

This makes them win as much as possible as well, they do very well. I get that it is not that easy to make this work, but it has to be something that will benefit everyone. Just forget about all of this trouble, and just focus on the part where we are talking about Real getting the title again, because there is no way they would not get it this time around.

I agree with you that match strategy is very important. If the match strategy is good, it is possible to keep the defense strong. The Sevilla team is not a weak team at all. Sevilla is a renowned team of La Liga. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. However, the overall performance of the team is very poor, as their match strategy is not good. If the match strategy was good, the team would not have been 15th in the table.

Sevilla have lost points in previous matches because of their poor defense. However, if the match strategy is good, Sevilla's defenders are capable of playing well. We got proof of this in the match against Atletico Madrid. The bonding between Sevilla's players was quite good in this match. And if the understanding between the players is good in the upcoming matches, then Sevilla can continue to perform well consistently.

Interestingly, Barcelona is a team that continues to fail and fail to win matches, which seems very interesting to me in a season with so many good players. In a team like Granada, they fought so hard that it was like a high-level team. Granada was for Barcelona, so despite all that struggle, they could not win the match.

Some things need to be completely changed in Barcelona to prevent this bad scenario from continuing. Granada, which was last in the league, should not have had such a hard time.

No doubt if Real Madrid has a better squad quality and more experienced coach. Moreover, the match was held in Real Madrid home as well. That's why Real Madrid players have a bigger motivation and they played more confident. Girona may not play very confident because they also experienced a lose in the first meeting. So, Real Madrid can play better because they were actually in a better condition.

Real Madrid is always focused on UCL and La Liga matches. They don't underestimate Girona, it makes them to play optimally every time they met Girona. I don't think it was so easy to win against Girona, they are actually not a weak team. But Real Madrid can always find out the weakness of Girona, they played with an effective way. Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo played impressively in the match. It seems to be more offensive if Real Madrid succeeds to sign Mbappe for the next season. They will have 4 productive players in the attacking line.
