It looks like Barcelona's appeal of a three-game suspension for Lewandowski has been finally dismissed. He will have to miss all three games, including the away game against Atlético. If Atlético doesn't fail again or something extraordinary happens, I think that Barcelona will score a maximum of one point in this game. If Real don't lose points, then we will again see equality in the first two places in the standings.
Previously, what problem did Lewandowski have that caused him to be suspended for 3 matches? I haven't heard any news about him today. The away match against Atletico Madrid will certainly be a crucial match considering that Barcelona must win this match if Real Madrid does not want to shift its position at the top of the standings.

I won't say that Xavi's presence as Barcelona's manager hasn't changed anything or done much for the team. He still needs to level up and raise the team's standard of play. One of Barcelona's current issues is the defense, which if not handled properly, will see the league title slip through his fingers. I believe Barcelona can do more; they have the funds to bring in new players or exchange them for current ones; I just hope the right decision is made before it's too late.
14 matches scoring 33 goals and conceding 5 goals actually their defense is not bad either, but when their core squad leaves one by one this is not so good for Barcelona.Indeed, in this case they are still very good but maybe it will be a little different if their condition in terms of injured players is like before, especially now that there are already several who will leave in their defense.
I think for now maybe it won't be too influential in terms of defense, but if you keep letting it go it won't be too good.

Barcelona's lack of options in terms of quality makes them rely so much on a player same way they relied solely on Messi when he was at Barcelona. It was like the team would not survive without Messi for any game he was absent and it caused a lot of difficulties. It wouldn't be nice to start up in that manner with Xavi and I think it will be a disaster for the team if they do not sign young players to help cover for Lewandowski absence.
You're right, they depend too much on one or two players, so when those players leave they find it difficult to rebuild the team. What cannot be done by any team, not only Barcelona, that is, you cannot depend on certain individuals. They should be more able to see that they are a team consisting of lots of players that they can maximize their abilities. They have 11 players on the pitch, as well as players on the bench who are ready to take over from the main players whenever needed.
one of Xavi's efforts to make his squad the best is to bring in several players and also release players who are not included in Xavi's plans.
may be too hasty, but Barca will not be able to manage their finances properly if they only make purchases without reducing spending on players.
an extraordinary challenge for Xavi to make Barca a champion this season. with all the efforts and limitations, Barça's game developed very well. everyone could see Xavi's abilities.

Never easy job to take barcelona back on track and so far he did it great!

You are right , Barcelona rely on players so much that it caused much harm to the club when Messi left. I think Barcelona always do this because they don't have good numbers of big players just like PSG and Manchester City. If anything happens to make Lewandowski performance drops it will affect Barcelona in a way.

After Xavi became the coach of Barcelona, the bonding between Barcelona players became stronger than before. The understanding between the players is now better than before. But Xavi wants to apply tiki-taka tactics. He has not been fully successful yet. Xavi needs more time to strengthen the team. He spends a lot of money to recruit players. Either way, Barcelona need a title this season.
I think Xavi still needs time to translate his vision to the players. The presence of several new players really helped the team, but they were still very unstable and often lost their way. But I really appreciate Xavi's performance so far that has made La Liga excited again. Given time, Xavi will be able to bring him back to a glorious era. But for this season, Xavi's chances of winning the La Liga trophy are still 50:50.
Many people think that Xavi's work could've been better, but taking into account that many players aren't used to play with their new teammates, their success in leading La Liga is noteworthy. The financial situation of the team isn't good, but I hope very good results in the future as the team matures.

Xavi is trying to get Barcelona to win trophies and titles this season, but if that doesn't work. That doesn't mean that Xavi isn't good at coaching the Barcelona team, because every coach has to see the team's shortcomings and try to make improvements so they can get better. So for this season I see that Barcelona has started a little better than last season, but I also can't be sure whether Barcelona's positive trend can continue for the rest of this season.
Since Xavi took over Barcelona from Ronald Koeman, there have been many changes with positive results that have brought the Blaugrana back to La Liga's winning ways even though the spotlight is strongest on Xavi after failing with Barcelona in the UEFA Champion League this season.Before the international break, Barcelona were firmly at the top of La Liga with 37 points. It doesn't seem right if anyone blames Xavi let alone considers him a failure.
Yes. As is the case with each coach's strategy, Xavi has now been able to produce two future midfielders for Barca and Spain in Pedri and Gavi.

A change was felt amongst the players tooo
He was a better coach than the former but the former has more wins than Xavi so far
They don't have enough they still have some internal money problems

I think they bought too many players and dismantled the team so many times in the last couple of years trying to get a new team and right team for their club. The players still dont know how to play with each other plus coach didnt do so great aswell. They need to keep a team for awhile and see if it can payoff
Barcelona must make player efficiency because Xavi really wants to stabilize Barcelona's economic condition and not spend too much, until now Barcelona's financial condition has not improved and this is a serious threat to Barcelona's future. Xavi will choose a player who has the skills and has a lot to contribute who will stay at Barcelona.Barcelona must always keep the club's finances stable, one way to increase the club's income is by winning trophies in the competitions they participate in.

Barcelona management has spent a lot of money since Xavi took charge of the Barcelona team. The party is somewhat stable but still cannot be called strong. Real Madrid still have more chances to win the title. Xavi must stabilize his team. And for that he should pick the required players for the squad. Barcelona defense is weak now. Xavi should spend money to strengthen his defense. I don't see Barcelona winning the title if the defense is not strong.
