Yesterday both cup matches brought us unexpected results, Malerka beat Girona, and Bilbao managed to beat Barcelona. Barcelona are conceding a lot again, it’s not clear what Barcelona’s problem is now, last season they had one of the best defenses, now they are conceding too much to count on any positive results, and it’s worth noting that Athletic Bilbao is in great shape now.
It seems to me that Girona's problem was that Mitchell took the starting line-up too lightly and they failed the first half, and in the second half they simply did not have enough time to correct this situation.
In general, we can see that Xavi has major problems, and given that La Laga is likely to be won by Real this year, it is unclear what trophy Barcelona will be able to take this year, except the cup.
