The nature of football Barcelona is playing currently is still appealing and it has not made them lose their stand in the competition just yet. The absence of Lewandowski in the forward position is felt, but it hasn't caused them to falter in their performance, as they continue to improve even without him. Xavi is a coach who has a unique coaching approach that allows other players to shine and improve on their own performance. When certain players are injured, his coaching method truly helps him because he always has a good alternative for them to keep the winning mindset intact. Hopefully, Lewandowski will be fully recovered shortly, allowing the team to continue on their winning stride as usual.

The absence of Lewandowski in the attacking position has caused Barcelona attacking power to decrease slightly, Lewandowski presence has helped Barcelona a lot through the goals he has scored. Xavi was a little confused due to Lewandowski injury, he began to urge Barcelona to immediately bring Vitor Roque to Camp Nou. Xavi feels that his team is a little limping in the absence of Lewandowski, Vitor Roque is considered to be an ideal replacement for Lewandowski because he is also very productive in scoring goals with Athletico Paranaense.

Barcelona does have some secondary strikers but these strikers are not as good as lewandowski. I remember that when lewandowski was absent at early season. The performance from barcelona has been downgrading a lot. We may see barcelona struggle in scoring as many goals as possible due to the lack of good striker in the club. De jong is not yet fully recoverin at this moment. Barcelona faces a strong club like bilbao. The club can now only relying upon its wingers.
Felix will have more burden caused by he has a responsibility in scoring for barcelona. I wonder who is going to be a temporary central forward.
Barcelona is only having lewandowski who was playing as central striker for barcelona at this moment. The club doesn't have any. No doubt if barcelona is very depending on lewandowskin in scoring goals to win against its opponent.
The match against madrid in upcoming week will become a very hard test for barcelona without lewandowski.

Problematic is how much Barcelona has been depending on Lewandowski. I read through some of the more recent publications and found Barcelona's comment about his injury. His questionable status for the El Clasico is a serious concern. We are all aware that this game is not just any game, but rather a spectacle and a pivotal moment for the league. The issue is made much more alarming by the absence of important players like De Jong, Kounde, and Lewandowski. Although Barcelona has home advantage due to their location at Camp Nou, I am really doubting their ability to win without their star scorer. Joao Felix, sure, might be able to briefly bridge the gap left by Lewandowski, but he doesnt have the same presence or background as the Polish player. About Barcelona's chances in the El Clasico, I really do concern.

Xavi faced a big challenge during the EL Clasico match, of course everyone already knows that Barcelona is being hit by a storm of injuries, I think this is the moment Xavi shows his quality when the availability of key players is absent. Xavi is required to formulate the best scheme with the available player choices, regardless of this, Barcelona is still the defending champion. On the other hand, this crucial moment is also very useful for back-up players to show their quality. I think Xavi is very familiar with this type of pressure.

On the other hand, of course I never underestimate the strength of Real Madrid, Ancelotti also found several of his players in the treatment room. I see that both sides do not have a number 9 striker, in this case it is quite even. Although I also really understand that Madrid strength so far is more promising, because Ancelotti has a squad that is considered more complete, Xavi can be a little free because Barcelona acts as host.

Barcelona has serious matches ahead of it. For example, they will play in Champions League matches and Lewandowski is a very important star player for these matches. It is acceptable to leave him on the bench or not take him into the game to help him recover from his injury. They need him in other important matches. Also, a great player like Joao Felix can close that gap.

Barcelona are ranked 3rd and currently unbeaten this season. They're capable of reaching crucial phases in UCL competition and also anticipating actively in La Liga race for the title. Xavi Hernandez is not frightened by the tough fixtures coming, he's an experienced coach and possess the required mentality to win tough games. Barcelona can face these upcoming games without the presence of Robert Lewandowski. Though his presence is required but he's not present due to injury which he's actually making quick recovery, perhaps they have João Félix who's an outstanding player for the club, followed by João Cancelo and IIkay Gundogan, these new signings have contributed to the team positively this season.

I also do not doubt that Barcelona will at least win a trophy this season. But the injury of Robert Lewandowski is a setback because of his wealth of experience and his influence. Reputable players like Lewandowski can influence referee decisions. The two Joãos are doing well but they still need to improve for the club to rely on them anytime. The club has a very tight and tough schedule in the coming days they will face Atletico club, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, and Real Sociedad. Xavi Hernandez is one best tacticians in Europe, I have so much respect for him and Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta. These two young coaches will be the new phase of world-renowned coaches. They have been able to manage young and experienced players to get the desired result.

Robert Lewandowski is currently out injured and is likely not to feature for Barcelona at least in two weeks from now and that means that the club are going to play some of the most vital abd difficult fixtures of the season which includes the Spanish El Clasico without the Poland striker.
Xavi Hernandez who's the manager of Barcelona already knows that he's not gonna have his No. 9 striker in those games and as expected is going to device other means of playing those crucial games without Lewandowski. With what he's been able to achieve with Barcelona this season, Xavi Hernandez is likely to come out of those games with good results.

Barcelona still unbeaten but they have 3 draw of 9 matches and have three points remaining with Real Madrid on top position standings, have injury problem with Barcelona player such as many Pedri, Frenkie De Jong and Robert Lewandowski still can't guarantee already upcoming match against Athletic Bilbao. New signing have more contribution for Barcelona with IIkay Gundogan get regular on midfielder position and João Cancelo have locked one place on right defender position.

Opponent teams Athletic Bilbao have quit well performance, they have won 5 of 9 matches and remaining 4 points from Barcelona, against Barcelona could be opportunity to make points close and move to 4th position.

Bilbao often troubles Barcelona, especially as this team tends to have fast defense and counter attacks. The Bilbao players were able to transition quite quickly from counterattack to defense and this was a problem that Xavi had to find a solution for.

So far Barcelona has played very well at home by winning all their matches. Barcelona's defense is also good when playing home games where they only conceded 2 goals in their 4 home match. Barcelona has a great chance of keeping its home record good against Bilbao, so I don't think Bilbao can easily break that record without a great game.

The next two matches which are quite close for Barcelona are actually matches that are equally important for Barcelona, because in La Liga Barcelona must be able to beat Athletic Club which is currently in the top five of the La Liga standings. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Barcelona must be ready to beat Shakhtar Donetsk in order to remain in first place in the group standings, so these two matches are actually both very important for Barcelona in order to remain competitive at the top in two different competitions.

Shall we count shaktar donetsk? I saw shakhtar as an easy opponent for barcelona this time. It's likely that if barcelona will able to win the upcoming UCL match. Bilbao seems to be a strong opponent and this match is far important. It's caused by barcelona will be missing some players due to the injury. We may be seeing who's gonna be the striker against bilbao. Barcelona needs to cut the gap against real madrid as well. Barcelona may do some experiments during the match against bilbao.
I would like to see felix to play as a striker but im thinking xavi does have secondary option to fill vacant spot owned by lewandowski. Playing without lewandowski will make the club will more difficult to win the game.

Xavi doesn't have many options and I think all his players will play 90 minutes without any substitutions. Barcelona's situation is less favorable but this can also be balanced by the injuries suffered by several Real Madrid players. So the El Classico match will still be exciting with its respective shortcomings.

There is no other way for Xavi other than using the existing players, as well as Madrid in the Elclasico match, they will definitely show their best game regardless of there being several key players who don't play there, we also can't measure every club's strength when several key players are absent from both of them, which doesn't mean they didn't play well, Xavi can definitely make Barcelona perform well.

I don't think that this is a big match because it's still early in the season even though one of them will lose it won't have a bad influence and impact on their current position in the standings, I just think they seem to be playing their best game to the maximum because this match is a match prestigious that they must win.

How can you say this isn't a big game? This is El Clasico and the winner will have a greater chance of winning the Laliga title this season. Don't you see Barcelona is currently quite annoyed because they are just below Girona and even have a 3 point difference from Real Madrid. Here, it is Barcelona who will be under pressure to get points and if they fail it is possible that their chances of being able to catch up on points will be slim again.

For Real Madrid, this is a match that they must win because they know that Barcelona is currently unlucky and Los Blancos, with the depth of their squad, will really benefit in the match. Moreover, several players such as Nacho will be available again after being sent off in the previous two matches and Arda Guler has started training to prepare for this match. So whoever wins will certainly benefit and the loser will also be even more depressed. Whether it's the start of the season or not, all matches must be played seriously.

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

When an elite team like Barcelona depend on just a main attacker, though they have other frontlines but they're mere backup and can't suit in the right positions. Robert Lewandowski might not have been in good form this season but there's a whole lot of things that have made the present Barca top striker, reluctant in Camp Nou. He's in the present of new signings and these players are optimistic about themselves and keen on good results. Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

Problematic is how much Barcelona has been depending on Lewandowski. I read through some of the more recent publications and found Barcelona's comment about his injury. His questionable status for the El Clasico is a serious concern. We are all aware that this game is not just any game, but rather a spectacle and a pivotal moment for the league.

At this moment I think Barcelona can rotate players when playing against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League because after all, I'm sure Barcelona will still be the winner of group H. So yes, for the next match in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk, I think Barcelona doesn't need to press or demands that the team win the match. Because after all, there will be a more important match because after the match in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk, in reality Barcelona will have to play in La Liga against Real Madrid. Therefore, because Barcelona can at least be guaranteed to be safe in the Champions League in group H, of course it would be more appropriate for Barcelona to remain focused on preparing the team to play in the El Clasico match later.

Rotating players during an important match is a risky thing to do, but it is not wrong to do, as long as the coach does rotate players who are considered to be able to contribute to their game to replace players who cannot be played in the match.
I see these 2 competitions will be a priority for Xavi to achieve the best in 2 different competitions. Last season they failed in the Chmpions League, although they could win La Liga, but the fact is that some people were not happy when they failed miserably in the Champions League. Moreover, this is Xavi's second (full) season, so he has to show that he can also bring Barcelona a lot to talk about in the Champions League.

The next 5 matches are very important for Barcelona and the opponents are strong enough. In the next 5 matches they will play two Champions League matches against Shakhtar Donetsk. And in La Liga they will face big teams like Athletic Club, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. And if they want to stay at the top of the table, Barcelona will need to win all three matches. Now if important players like Lewandowski and Pedri are not with the squad in these important matches then it will be very difficult for Barcelona to perform well. However, Lewandowski may return to the squad before El Clasico.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have played nine matches each where Real Madrid are number one and number two in the points table with 24 points and Barcelona 22 points. Barcelona's opponents in the first nine matches are relatively easy, but tough opponents await Barcelona in the next few matches. I am waiting to see El Clasico match. The El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will undoubtedly be the center of attention of the entire football world. If Barcelona don't drop points in the next few games, they will be well ahead of the La Liga title race this season.

Joselu is the second most scorer of Real Madrid in the league right now. Honestly I wasn't expecting him to perform better than Rodrygo when he first arrived here. However Joselu's goal and assist statistics so far have been much more impressive already - 5 goals, 2 assists. Rodrygo has been able to score only 1 goal so far.

Joselu had been collecting 4 goals since the first week and it's good. Real madrid only spend a very small amounts of money to get him as a loan from espanyol and his performance is good enough in real madrid.
Bellingham was a very excellent attacking midfielder combined with the striker at this moment. I saw joselu was equal to the rodrygo. We must also remember if joselu is not young anymore. He is 33 years old and his performance is still consistent.

Quote from: Velvet78 on October 19, 2023, 05:18:28 AM

This is why I believe Joselu won't lose his place in the starting eleven to Rodrygo that easy. Joselu is doing really good with his experience for now. He can continue to make a good duo with Vinicius Junior in the forward position.

I have heard that if rodrygo might be sold by real madrid to give a space for mbappe. I have not yet found a confirmation regarding this rumor but this news actually makes sense. It's caused by mbappe will leave from PSG with free agent status.
it will help madrid to secure him easily without needed to pay a very big amounts of money.

Joselu may be returned back to the espanyol next season. Madrid may buy him if his price will be very cheap.

It is acceptable to leave him on the bench or not take him into the game to help him recover from his injury. They need him in other important matches. Also, a great player like Joao Felix can close that gap.

Barcelona has many options for strikers in its squad, but Lewandowski is the most expected main striker. Lewandowski's injury isn't bad, but he has missed a few games which Barcelona have had an impact on his form. Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Joao Felix can be expected to help, but Lewandowski is an important figure who can bring a lot of optimism to the match.

I think Lewandowski will recover and be ready to get full minutes in El Clasico, but I doubt he will feature against Bilbao and Shakhtar. If Lewandowski recovers on time, then it will bring many benefits to Barcelona, but if not then Real Madrid will have a lot of worries about winning full points.

Robert Lewandoski remains the number one option, he is a fantastic player who's worked with lots of experience coaches. Absence of such a quality will lead to reduced goals in matches Barcelona play.

He'll be back before the El Classico and that alone gives them enough options. Jaoa Felix and Yamal Lamine are good players but they don't stand strong to lead the attack.
Bilbao will be had but not so with Shakhtar during the Champions League. Barcelona would want to win to go top of the league. What's with the delay with return of Raphina?

Barcelona just aren't as good this season as they were last season... We have to recognise this fact, although everyone thought that Real would play much worse after the big changes in their club, for example after Benzema left, but Real didn't play worse and are in first place in La Liga... I think they will be champions this year...

At the moment it is still too early to compare, in fact I think Barcelona and Real Madrid are both developing for the better this season, in terms of team strength the two are not much different, it's just that the consistency of these two teams is still in question.

Of course it's too early to talk about the success or failure of Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's just that at the moment Real Madrid look better and more confident than Barca... Usually the second half of the season after winter becomes significant for all clubs, but it's still more comfortable for those clubs that regularly pick up points and have a lead... That's Real Madrid at the moment...

Xavi was a little confused due to Lewandowski injury, he began to urge Barcelona to immediately bring Vitor Roque to Camp Nou.

In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.

Yes, it is true that predictions will be difficult for all parties to guess, they are just guessing at their respective champions. This depends on the coach in fielding the best squad and there must be cohesion within the team. Indeed, if you look at the statistics for the 2023 meeting, Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona won 4 matches in various leagues. Copa League, Copa Del Rey etc. There are several Barcelona players who are injured, R Lewandowski and other players. Here the medical team pays attention to the condition of each player, if the player is fit, it is likely that Lewandowski will play in the match later. Moreover, competing later at home, this will provide additional encouragement for the team.

Barcelona started this season well that is giving people joy to continue to predict for their favour, but they changed recently that made their performance and points to drop down because there are some of their players who are experiencing injuries. I believe , Barcelona coach is a potential coach and he will definitely help the team to create some opportunity that will make them to take over the first position to stand in a good chance to win the la Liga league title. I don't think, the absence of other Players will make Barcelona to lose in this match because they still have talented players that can handle those positions positively until they recover from their injuries.

Don't be over hyped with this club. The crisis is just starting for barcelona. There may be many players got injured. Some key players were injured and this obviously affecting the performance from the club. The result achieved by barclona this season is not worth even flexing.
Barcelona needs to pass this crisis first. Xavi is now getting bigger pressure. I have heard that if barcelona in a big debt not only toward the creditors but other clubs as well. It surprised me to see barcelona has not fully completed the transfers.
Barcelona is still owe a lot of money to the other clubs. Even raphinha and lewandowski have not been fully paid by barcelona. Barcelona doesn't have good attacker this time.

Shall barcelona count on felix at this moment? i think that is bad decision from the club. Felix is not as good as lewandowski. The difference between both of attackers are too far. Lewandowski with its so many experiences as attackers compared with felix which was an overrated striker.
People know that perfectly which striker that was suitable for the club. Losing lewandowsi is a bad situation for barcelona. I expect this club to struggle in every matches.

Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Joao Felix can be expected to help, but Lewandowski is an important figure who can bring a lot of optimism to the match.

I think Lewandowski will recover and be ready to get full minutes in El Clasico, but I doubt he will feature against Bilbao and Shakhtar. If Lewandowski recovers on time, then it will bring many benefits to Barcelona, but if not then Real Madrid will have a lot of worries about winning full points.

Due have many option for striker replacing Robert Lewandowski but they haven't highest level as goals scoring machine such as Lewandowski become top scorer for Barcelona right now. Barcelona less position with center striker such as have Ferran Torres and Joao Felix they are winger players typical although ever put them as center striker. Xavi Hernandez is smart manager and he know well with nine false position when losing center forward, he doesn't face problem when using false nine if Robert Lewandowski can faster recovery actually on important El Clasico match against Real Madrid.

There are not information yet about Robert Lewandowski when recovering from injury, which one match become his debut after getting injury will keep priority on El Clasico match or not.

Xavi didn't rely on one player to win the match, but Lewandowski was the player who actually played a role in scoring the goal. Lewandowski in recent matches has not been in the best form like last season, but other players Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo and his midfielders can provide the difference that allows Barcelona to avoid defeat.

Lewandowski is the only center forward that Barcelona currently has, of course the team's performance is disrupted when he is absent because Xavi has to play a different strategy so that the team's performance is stable. However, the impact on the game and overall plan will be different between having Lewandowski in the main line-up and not having him. I hope his injury heals as expected and he can take part in the upcoming El Clasico.

The nature of football Barcelona is playing currently is still appealing and it has not made them lose their stand in the competition just yet. The absence of Lewandowski in the forward position is felt, but it hasn't caused them to falter in their performance, as they continue to improve even without him. Xavi is a coach who has a unique coaching approach that allows other players to shine and improve on their own performance. When certain players are injured, his coaching method truly helps him because he always has a good alternative for them to keep the winning mindset intact. Hopefully, Lewandowski will be fully recovered shortly, allowing the team to continue on their winning stride as usual.
