After their CL exit yesterday, Xavi in post match conference said that they will be focused on remaining titles and they will try hard to get some of those now. Laporta also is backing Xavi so I think they are much more focused on building a strong squad at Barcelona which is ideal thing to do for them right now. They stand 3 points behind the table leaders in LaLiga so I think they have good chance of winning the title unlike last season and they have decent enough squad to keep on going for LaLiga title with Madrid till the end. Hope Xavi can help Barca bring at least one of the titles.
It's good when fans still have optimism about their team's chances even if their Champions League has failed miserably. Barcelona have a chance to win the title in Laliga, Copa Del Rey or Europa League this season, but I don't know which title is most likely for them.

The performance of the players was good, but it wasn't as perfect as one would expect in the Champions League. Barcelona lost to Bayern Munich and Inter, that's only normal in my opinion.

After Barcelona are confirmed out of the Champions League, then I think they will really want to get something good in Laliga. This week Barcelona will away to Valencia for matchday 12, and for this match I can expect Barcelona to do better despite the disappointments they experienced in the Champions League. Even though Valencia played at home in that match, Barcelona really can be favorites based on odds.

On the other hand, Real Madrid who played at home against Girona seemed to be very superior compared to their opponents. Girona has odds of 12 to win, but this is something hard to win.

On October 30, Real Madrid will play against Girona. Real Madrid has played 11 matches this season, winning 10 times and drawing 1. Girona, having played 11 matches and has 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. Objectively, Real is much stronger than Girona. I bet on the victory of the Madrid club.
I haven't checked the odds yet but i am sure odds for Madrid will very low considering Girona is weak team even they were still struggle to avoid relegation zone but there is one interesting thing on their head to head statistics that Girona has been beat Madrid at that time on 2019 but currently is different because Madrid has stronger than 3 years ago but if want to bet probably over 2.5 goals is good for this match this because the odds for this option quite better than Madrid moneyline and i expect Real Madrid will going to win this match with 2 goals margin or more especially Girona has poor defense this season
Real madrid will be a little easier in the 12th jordana this week because they will face a team that is in the relegation zone. On paper Real Madrid are certain to be able to win big against Girona. besides that their rivals Barcelona will face Valencia this week. The top two teams in this week's LaLiga have opponents they can easily beat but for Barcelona they will have to work a little hard to get full points at the Mestalla Stadium. Now looking at the percentage of opportunities given by the bookie, the chances for real madrid are smaller because they have weak opponents but for barcelona @1.57 it will look good enough for xavi squad. So I'm sure the two top teams in La Liga will be able to get full points.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
And you can see that Barcelona's back line is so erratic and always makes a lot of easy passing mistakes like Bellerin did several times and it is always broken by the Bayern Munich striker. I think Xavi lost his existence for Barcelona and he was embarrassed because he put so many players in a formation that had enough gaps. Now there are several rumors circulating about Xavi which is a hot topic, whether this is right or not but I think the first time Xavi led Barcelona with the available players actually showed a good performance. But after buying too many players, there are so many things that Xavi can't take advantage of.
So far things have not been entirely good for Barcelona. Their failure in the Champions League this season has caused a lot of speculation and ridicule from various people out there where their huge investment this season in players has not yielded really good results.

I know that Xavi has done something great for Barcelona, ​​but people always expect something instant. Barcelona cannot win the title without a balance of players in various positions, that is a fact that is most evident as a weakness this season. But as a fan, I'm still 100% for Barcelona even though today they failed to go further in the Champions League.
This is the first season Xavi has invested heavily in the players he wants but you are right the process always needs to take quite a long time to reap the results later I know Xavi had a better plan after they matched their game and that only happened in the Champions League Barcelona looked bad while in LaLiga Barcelona performed quite well, only 3 points away from Real Madrid, while the competition that will be held in the Europa League, we don't know the result yet how is it possible for Xavi to take advantage of the competition to fight and win it, I think they will still try to give their best.

What Barcelona has achieved (in La Liga) so far isn't that bad because they are still in 2nd place and they are only 3 points adrift of Real Madrid. But when compared to their performance at the beginning of the season, their current performance does look less promising and there seems to be something that makes them like that. I think this problem should be solved by Xavi as soon as possible because their chance to become champions is still wide open and Barcelona has a composition of players that allows them to become La Liga winners.
Barcelona achievement at  La Liga almost impressive with 3 points left from Real Madrid on standing position awhile, despite fail qualified to 16 round at Champion League I don't think with Barcelona team mentality drop. Barcelona totally can focus at domestic league only although have participants at Europe League but seems not competitive with Champion League. Still facing problem with Barcelona difficult against with bigger team after defeating by Real Madrid in La Liga and almost difficult to win with bigger team at Champion League from Inter until Bayern Munich.

Exactly if Barcelona want to get tittle at La Liga need have winning mentality against with bigger team, almost difficult to win against with bigger team with have match left with Atletico Madrid at domestic league and Real Madrid on next second half season.
It is true that the performance of Xavi Hernandez's men has decreased and is no longer showing the performance like at the beginning of the league. I feel it has something to do with the absence of a few players lately so that has an impact on their performance. They couldn't do much in the group stages of the Champions League and they even worsened their meeting record with Bayern Munich. In addition, their back line is always in the spotlight because it always looks bad and gives space to opposing players and also Xavi misplaces some players even though he still has players who are more trustworthy, for example when he made a mistake when fielding players in the line-up.

Especially now that they are out of the Champions League it is clear the chances of getting the Ballon d'Or are difficult for Lewa now.
All he has to do is play well at the moment in order to set an individual record as a striker in La Liga.
Right now it's difficult for Lewandowski regardless of anything especially with Barcelona's current condition, but it's nice to see him competing in the Europa League because as far as I know this is the first time I've seen him play in this competition Grin.

Lewa is really unlucky, he did really well in every season but the ballon dor still not in his closet, the player is a real scoring machine but unfortunately there is always something that prevent him from getting the ballon dor and i don't think things will be different this season
It's a decision he's made so it doesn't really matter what his age is now the Ballon d'Or is definitely not going to get him.
Now all he has to do is focus on getting back to being the top scorer again but in La Liga because in this case it is difficult to expect the Ballon d'Or with the condition he is in.

@hd49728 Xavi started well, but he’s trying hard to please the board by taking decisions like keeping De Jong out of the team or playing him in defence and when a coach does that it effects the entire team’s morale.

Furthermore even though they’re out of the champions league they can yet challenge for the La Liga title if Xavi choses player’s on their merits and tweaks his system to accommodate his current set of player’s, but if he choses to repeat his mistakes then he’ll not win the league title this season too.
It only happened a while after that De Jong was back again in the end and even now lol.

In this case it may be true that Xavi is one of the bearers of blessings but for him who has not qualified for the Champions League for 2 seasons in a row even with the current condition of the players who can be said to be very good, this is clearly not a defense that can be done because this is a mistake that is definitely difficult received.

Maybe Barcelona board are waiting to see whether Xavi will carry the team to the La Liga title this season before taking a big decision about his future. I don't even think that they are considering to sack him in the near future. But missing the league title would cause a big fall in Xavi's credit in this team.

Considering that they were really poor against Real Madrid in the El Clasico, they need to improve their game more. Otherwise it is very difficult to get ahead of Real Madrid and win the title. For now, Real Madrid are the most reliable team to make it to this title. It is in Xavi's hands to change this by preparing the right game plan in big games especially.
If the title is their goal this season then Xavi will find it difficult to do so. They shouldn't be targeting that, I mean Barcelona's management should focus more on improving the team than targeting something tough because they've also just gone through something difficult, even they haven't completely gone through their internal problems. If they go down with the goal of winning then it means they want an instant achievement from a Xavi, and that in my opinion is not good for the continuity of the team.

Currently they are trying to return to improve their performance so that it is not like the previous few matches for them.
Even though they are still classified as good, they are still in the shadow of inconsistency. Now Xavi has to realize that missing out on the Champions League could be a trigger for fans to dislike his performance so there can't be the slightest mistake.

I know Barcelona are also investing in defense this season where Alonso, Bellerin, Christensen and Kounde are the 3 defenders they signed in the transfer window and the start of the season but I'm not really sure Bellerin and Alonso are playing as expected. I could have expected something different if Araujo and Christensen had not been injured because both are typical good defenders. But unfortunately both injuries have thwarted Barcelona's plans this season. Now Barcelona must return to focus on the league or Europa League if they manage to qualify.

You don't seem to understand the problem of Barcelona. Barcelona has ideology problem and coaching problem. Barcelona team has great individual players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Dembele, Fati, De Jong and many more that I cannot mention. They have players that can match Bayern Munich and other clubs but Xavi got it wrong. Why do you want Dembele to leave? Is Dembele the problem of Barcelona?
Barcelona has good players they need Xavi to change method.
Totally agree with changing the method for Barcelona, because the Barcelona team does have more great and young players, just because Xavi's own best method hasn't happened so far. So changing the method for a better way of playing is something that Xavi has to do for the Barcelona team, because there are many good players who can be polished well in Barcelona.

I think Barcelona should have the courage to take the decision to sack Xavi, because this is the second time they haven't qualified for the last 16 and this is definitely a pain for their fans, at least they have an experienced coach than former players who haven't had enough flight time to take control of Barcelona. , what's more, this is a Barcelona team that has a good record in the Champions League, they always subscribe to the Champions League Final and see Barcelona now as a small team, only being a monthly month for big clubs...

The chances of Real Madrid getting 3 points are very big because Real Madrid players will have no trouble beating Girona.
Real Madrid has always scored three goals in the last three games in La Liga, placing a bet of more than 2.5 goals is good especially when Real Madrid players are in the best form in La Liga.
I will try to make big bets for Real Madrid to win even though the odds for Madrid are very low.

Real Madrid's odds are currently only @1.2x and obviously those are very low odds, more so Real Madrid will play at the Santiago Bernabéu. Even though it's not a problem to bet on the Real Madrid moneyline but it doesn't feel right at such odds, because after all this is a match that Real Madrid will surely win with a wide goal gap.
So instead of betting big money but low return due to low odds, I think it would be better to choose other options like Real Madrid -1.5 @1.58 and maybe for -2.5 @2.43, I think that option is still promising for Real Madrid got it.

Because at the same time, Real Madrid also still has to win the match to keep away from the team that is in second place, because of course it would be better for Real Madrid to have a fairly wide point gap so that the position at the top of the standings will be safer.
Also, anyway this is a very good opportunity for Real Madrid as a way of venting their anger because they were previously beaten by Leipzig with a score of 3-2. Although it may not have any impact, but usually the big teams when they lose in different tournaments they will be able to continue their unbeaten trend in the local league (La Liga).

So changing the method for a better way of playing is something that Xavi has to do for the Barcelona team, because there are many good players who can be polished well in Barcelona.
Araujo's injury has made Barcelona's defense weak, they have lost and conceded a lot of goals so far especially in their last 4 Champions League matches. Marcos Alonso brought in from Chelsea was not as strong and as good as expected, and the same about Bellerin. Their midfielders and strikers are good, but Barcelona really need players who are good in defense which they don't really have at the moment.

I know Barcelona are also investing in defense this season where Alonso, Bellerin, Christensen and Kounde are the 3 defenders they signed in the transfer window and the start of the season but I'm not really sure Bellerin and Alonso are playing as expected.

Yes they do have a good line of players but the depth of their squad is not strong, I mean when there are main players absent from the game they still can't close the vacant position left. We saw a few weeks ago that they had to lose players due to injury, it had a big impact on their performances. Yes, losing some players is still very pronounced when they are playing.

There is a good match between the Barcelona players. During the game, Barcelona plays the matches with a cool head. But I noticed that they do not make any mistakes during the game, because they play a very good game in almost every match. I think Barcelona play this way.  If they can, they can do a lot more.
All Barcelona players did play well but the problem was in the defense, until now Barcelona is still having trouble managing a good guard and is still often broken by many opponents, yesterday Barcelona in the match against Bayern was very embarrassing because they had to submit 3- 0 by Bayern. Robert Lewandowski had no space to keep the ball well and struggled to score. in the previous match against Real Madrid Robert Lewandowski also did not have good space to control the ball so that it made Barcelona lose, this must be a tough evaluation for Xavi to get out of this slump.
Only three Champions League wins have been achieved by Barcelona since Messi left. Even though they signed a lot of good players, Lewandowski alone cannot sustain his success of scoring. Although they struggled in the Champions League, they put on a good display in La Liga. What are your thoughts on their chances of winning LaLiga?
