If Las Palmas's class has been able to make things difficult for Barcelona in today's match, that will allow everyone to assess the quality of Barcelona's players this season. In fact, Barcelona's victory was due to a penalty in the final minutes of the match so that Barcelona could celebrate its victory today, whereas in the League standings table, Barcelona is still far behind the other two rivals in the top flight and are also still quite close to two more rivals are in fourth and top five. This proves that Barcelona's current position is still not safe enough from being chased by two other teams who are not far behind them.
That's why, Xavi must find the ideal formula for his squad to be able to unleash their potential. in the match against Las Pamas, it was very clear that Barcelona's defensive line had dropped drastically and it was easier for the opposing team to penetrate. in several matches played by Barcelona, an important problem was the weakness of Barcelona's defense. even though if we talk about player quality, Barcelona's defense is quite good. but why, it seems as if this team is quite vulnerable to conceding goals. Barcelona have played 19 matches, and they have conceded 22 goals. that means, there is something that is a problem within the Barcelona camp. whether it was due to poor player performance, player rotation that was not ideal, or Xavi's patterns and systems were not suitable for Barcelona's defensive line players. in the midfield, the Barcelona players always appear consistent. as far as the matches I watched, only Gundohan and De Jong played with their best performance. the rest, not many players stand out.
Statistically, Barcelona had more control over the game against Las Pamas. but the problem is, they have difficulty converting opportunities into goals. proven, if Las Pamas was not given a red card and Barca did not have a penalty kick. which means, this match ended in a draw. but Barcelona were very lucky, they got a gift from a penalty point in the final minute and were able to convert it into a goal by Gundohan. now, Barcelona is 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid. fortunately, La Liga still has a lot of matches left for each team competing in this league. if, Xavi doesn't look for an effective formula or solution. so, they had to bury their mission to defend last season's trophy title. so it's very clear, Barcelona is not safe at all in its position. moreover, they have to narrow the difference in points from the team above them. we'll see how far Xavi can take his squad until the end of this season. if he fails, I agree that Barcelona is targeting a more ideal, established and qualified coach. it's natural, as a fan, I want to see my favorite team perform very well. you don't have to blame Xavi, but if he is unable to lead it in a better direction even though Barca has competitive depth. it is appropriate, someone replaces it for the sake of change.
