The Real Madrid team itself has also seen this for a long time because it is very impossible if the team does not know how to regenerate players who are getting old to young players. Everyone can see Real Madrid playing quite well in every season, which means the Real Madrid team always makes regeneration gradually every season to prepare the team when it comes to releasing old players to other teams.
Yes I know that, but I emphasize their midfield here. Indeed now they have young players for the midfield position, but they are still dependent on the 2 senior players, on the front lines they are still very dependent on Karim Benzema. I realize this is a process, and it's not going to be fast enough. I hope they are braver again to rotate in every game, maybe they can do when facing a weak team. It's not meant to be trivial, but it's to minimize risk.

Barcelona and Real Madrid both have comfortable games ahead this week. Almeria and Vallecano are the opponents respectively. I don't expect Barcelona or Real Madrid to make any point loss this week.
You will be surprised that they can lose points to such low opponents, especially Real Madrid. At least for Barcelona, they mostly perform so well against low tier teams and even score lots of goals for fun, but they do have a problem with top teams. It's vice versa for Real Madrid's case.At this moment, it is very hard for anyone to trust Barcelona to win anything in my opinion. The problem is not that Barcelona is a weak team. I think Barcelona is their team which has some good individual players in the team.
They do so well against low tier teams, so long as Lewandowski performs in a match.
Girona team managed another great result today by beating athletic bilbao in a home game, they seem in a great form recently after the draw against real madrid in the last round they performed really well today and they have beaten one of the best teams in laliga, with this win they can breath a little bit away from the relegation zone.

I know that Real Madrid surprised us by the draw against Girona the last time. But they must have learned their lesson from it. Vallecano are in a good form lately but they don't have much chance against Real Madrid. One can say that they beat Sevilla but Sevilla are not one of the tough teams to beat for now I'm afraid. Real Madrid should be able to maintain their lead by this week.

Barcelona's main problem now is not knowing what they should do against very challenging opponents. It is valid for not only the Champions League but also the La Liga. The El Clasico result was a really good example for that. They just didn't know what to do against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu. Xavi couldn't prepare his players with the right strategies against Ancelotti's Real Madrid. Actually I remember their 4-0 victory in this stadium last season. But it looks like Ancelotti is the manager who has made a bigger progress after that.
If Xavi solves this problem of playing worse against big teams then they will be more competitive in the Champions League also. Otherwise we might continue to see them in the Europa League often after the group stage in the Champions League.

This young group of players may win Europa League but it wasn't very possible to win Champions League. Is it better to play in quarter final in Champions League and get eliminated or play final in Europa League? With this squad I'd go for another trophy, which looks very possible.
It may also be better for them to play in Europa League for La Liga. They will face comparably weaker teams in Europe, that means less rotation.
Tomorrow Barca should win and score a lot of goals against Almeria. I'd take over 2.5 goals and Barcelona win bet around 1.20 odds. Lewandowski rested, if he returns to starting eleven I'd expect him to continue scoring goals.

Maybe Xavi still has not found a good composition to set the strategy. They have everything from young players to world class players, but it's very strange not to be able to win every game easily. Expelled from the champions league of course they will improve as best they can.

I agree with you Real Madrid have players who have the best quality at the moment. I saw some of their games in the season even if we say they are able to perform at their best even though in the previous few games real madrid was not supported by Benzema due to injury but they were able to win some important games for them either in the ucl or in Laliga. real madrid also closed the group stage with the group winners so there is nothing to worry about their performance. Vinicius et al can bring some trophies for Real Madrid this season and I hope nothing negative happens to Real Madrid, meaning that there are no injuries to them.
With such potential young players at Madrid and with Ancelotti's experience and skill in setting up schemes, rotations and formations for them it is clear that this makes their players livelier and more able to make the most of what they have.Madrid at this time can be said to be quite good not only for this season but most likely if these young players continue to progress this will be a valuable asset for Madrid for the next few seasons.
This is seen with Ancelotti's satisfaction with his squad even with the money which is actually very big if Ancelotti wants to transfer players they only add a few players which indicates that he is satisfied with the current squad.
in the Champions League Barcelona are not as vicious as in La Liga, defeats are so easy to come by which makes them have to be eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage. It seems that Barcelona has not been able to move on from last season's failure, Xavi, who is expected to be able to take Barcelona further in the Champions League, is unable to meet expectations.
While in La Liga Barcelona is still capable of being the toughest competitor of Real Madrid, in the standings Barcelona is only one point adrift of the leader of the standings. Barcelona still has a chance to win La Liga this season, what Xavi needs to do is to maintain the appearance and mentality of his players to always give the best performance. The quality of the squad that Barcelona has this season can still compete with Real Madrid, the defeat in El Clasico is the only defeat that Barcelona have just received in La Liga. Xavi must continue to maintain the opportunity to get his first trophy as Barcelona coach.
I think it could be a bit about the way they are playing in the league is not working out very well in the UCL at all, because in the league they are playing very technical, not just about the physical part of the football world but more about the technical "mind" related parts, and they are playing a foodball that is both fundamentally amazing and also great to watch.While in La Liga Barcelona is still capable of being the toughest competitor of Real Madrid, in the standings Barcelona is only one point adrift of the leader of the standings.

However, in the UCL there is a bit fairer share of physicality involved, it’s not like Spanish football, it means there are more shoulder to shoulder, and harder tackles, which Barcelona is not ready for, Real is known for it for example, Barcelona is not. That part is the part that impacted them a lot, and will continue to impact in Europa as well.
At this moment, it is very hard for anyone to trust Barcelona to win anything in my opinion. The problem is not that Barcelona is a weak team. I think Barcelona is their team which has some good individual players in the team.
But I think the problem is that all the individual players who are really great on the team are the attacking players. The attacking lineup of Barcelona is not currently very coordinated. Barcelona did not even bring in good defensive players.
So, it is obvious that they are not going to do very well on the defensive side of things. And that is a big reason why the team is not balanced at all. I think that’s why they are not being able to play well and bring in good results even though they have some pretty good individual players.
In fact, as strong as we think Real Madrid is, it is based on the performance of the entire La Liga. But we have to see that they only do well against weaker teams. How strong Real Madrid is will be understood when they can defeat teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool.

Well that's right, strategy is the key in every match. If we flash back when Barcelona didn't win against Inter or other top teams, Barcelona team's ball possession was higher rather than other teams. They can always control the match but they are unlucky to take their chances to score, midfielders are strong but their defense is often inconsistent, Xavi's strategy against top teams focus too much on attack.
The problem from them is also sometimes it's always difficult to maximize the chances lately especially after some of their players are injured their chances are pretty much wasted.I think this should be resolved soon but it looks like for the players now it won't be too much of a problem because the injured are also slowly recovering even though some are still undergoing treatment. Xavi now has to start by creating some backup schemes so that when their plans are read in a game he won't have to worry too much about being able to implement a backup plan.
In fact, as strong as we think Real Madrid is, it is based on the performance of the entire La Liga. But we have to see that they only do well against weaker teams. How strong Real Madrid is will be understood when they can defeat teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool.
I will compare it with last season where Real Madrid could beat big teams from other leagues in the Champions League. Paris Saint Germaint, Chelsea, Manchester City and finally Liverpool in the final, all of those teams they have beaten and won the Champions League last season. It shows that they are a strong team. their squad hasn't changed much and there have only been a few additions in a few positions. Their chemistry has always been well established and managed to create a solid team.And if you say that Real Madrid can only win against weak teams I don't agree with that, the fact is that they are always winners against strong teams in the Champions League and La Liga.

¡En Hora Buena! Gerard Piqué.
When a player is a franchise , by the way, it is something that football does not take very seriously and has been demonstrated in the history of this sport with very good examples, coincidentally the Barcelona team is one of them...
In that sense, few players in the history of football have received such an honor, but it's not that there are few such players who earn such a designation, no, especially in teams like Barcelona, it's that they are managerial policies of some teams represented in their directors.
Anyway, the truth of the story here is that Gerard Piqué is undoubtedly the end of that glorious team that managed to form Barcelona with a group of players from its lower divisions, I'm not talking about a specific year, but about these last 20 years.
Yes, we have Héctor Bellerín, Iñaki Peña, Eric García, Sergi Roberto, Gavi and others who join in this new period that begins, but it is the one that is to come, and it will be very difficult to overcome.
IMO with the retirement of Gerard Piqué, of course Jordi and Buquets remain, also as players formed from those initial quarries, but Piqué is if you will from that cycle that includes Messi, without a doubt one of the main reasons for his retirement, not all that shit that is said about his relationship with Shakira, etc. that in a certain way it will have some weight to decision.
Not only does he finish a race also finishes a cycle for FCB, a successful relationship in the last 20 years.
Goodbye! Piqué.
P.S. I don't think that in the short term he meets to play with Messi again...but in the future both old for football maybe end up playing in another Galaxy...LA.
Yes, I read the news on the sports news. I'm very sorry, Barcelona will certainly be impoverished.
I don't understand the choice, but if it's because I'm short of money after the Champions League exit, well they couldn't have done otherwise.
We hope it gets better in the future.
But we have to see that they only do well against weaker teams. How strong Real Madrid is will be understood when they can defeat teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool.
Is Barcelona one of the weaker teams that Real Madrid beat? Or European league winner Eintracht Frankfurt are also a weak team because they lost 0-2 from Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup final
I think when compare to teams from the EPL (Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool) of course it will be a question mark because Real Madrid does not have many records of meet with representatives from the Premier League.
You don't call a good team "weak" simply for the fact that they lost to a lower team, once or twice... having that mishap once or twice doesn't guarantee how the club's performance has deteriorated - atleast to some point, yeah I know.
In the game of football, there must always be a winner and winners are not usually those bigger and influential teams, it could even be a devision C....Yes, that's how weird things can look. Barcelona isn't on form; everyone knew when they were. They shouldn't be on an obnoxious pressure just to regroup their gameplay, it'll also take some process just as the deterioration took some too. I sure hope that Barcelona would regroup and get aligned on the top scoresheet someday.

Among the top names you mentioned, apart from Lewandowski, none are in good form. Pique has already ended his football career. Meanwhile, Sergio, Alba cannot expect a good future for Barca. But Stegan is fine. It is now important to have some good stars in the team.
Are there no more stars in the Barcelona team now? Because I see there are some good players at Barcelona and some of them still have very good careers in the team. But it's still not enough if they are not managed properly and correctly in the game. Because the good or bad of a team does not only depend on how many star players are in the team, but also influenced by the cooperation between players and also the placement of players in the lines they control.I would say Barcelona still have a lot of star players. Don't you think Demebele, Lewandowski and de Jong are stars? But the performance of the team does not depend on the star players. I would say a team's performance depends mostly on their match strategy. Team performance is stable when match strategy is good. And the bond between the players must be strong to strengthen the team performance. There is no shortage of talented players in Barcelona's squad. However, we are yet to see consistent performances from the players as the bond between them is not strong.
But we have to see that they only do well against weaker teams. How strong Real Madrid is will be understood when they can defeat teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool.

Barcelona will miss one of their good player this weekend. Gerrard pique have done his best for the team and he's also one of the old players in the club. He's a good defender with lengthy height but hes getting old and he can't cheat nature with punishau mistakes he causes in defendlines. The team will miss him and this weekend game happens to be his last game for barça before he exits the team. His teammates will give him his regards as senior player, and he would gladly impressed the fans with incredible performance.
He already had a great career. and has every possible trophies in his cabinet. Played with legends Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Alves, Puyol, Busquets, Villa, Suarez, Eto’o, Henry. Even last year playing through injuries to get us to the champions league. Yes this year was the year to much but he made the honorable choice to retire now and not ride out his contract till the end. Helping the club financially in the process. Jump to:
