this season barcelona is not too strong to be able to compete with other teams competing in the champions league or Europa League, defeats to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the ucl and in the Europa league by Manchester United. It's too hard for Xavi when several important players are absent in a match that determines their fate, like yesterday's match against Manchester United where Pedri and Gavi had to be absent.
one of the only remaining hopes is in laliga to be able to become a champion which must be fought as best as possible by barcelona players. apart from that there is one more opportunity, namely in the copa del rey that they can fight for.
When Barcelona are drawn to meet big teams in two different competitions at the European level, I think this is a tough season for them to go through.
Of course this assumption is correct because Barcelona has not been completely stable, especially regarding their squad this season. They had a lot of financial problems, while previously they had to struggle with a storm of injuries, but Xavi can make the difference even though they also failed in the end.
I'm not happy about Barcelona's defeat, but I think they did their best to close whatever gaps they lacked in that match. Manchester United are much better prepared at home than Barcelona even though Barcelona came with good optimism and confidence. But you also can't forget that the Copa Del Rey is another domestic competition that Barcelona can also compete for besides La Liga.
Unfortunately bad luck happens, if it were to happen unfortunately it cannot be predicted
I hope for Barcelona, for their fans and for Xavi that it doesn't happen, but unfortunately football is unpredictable
it's like poker, you can have all the strategy in the world, if the cards don't come they don't come
You're right, I noticed that too. Winning a game against a team like Manchester United is not as easy as moving eggs from the basket.
