Xavi has done his best for barcelona in laliga where xavi was able to bring barcelona to the lead at the top of the standings. Lewandowski is an important player in Barcelona revival this season. he became the figure who contributed the most through the goals he scored to bring Barcelona to beat their opponents. Xavi will be able to bring Barcelona back strong in the coming seasons. He will become the next Pep Guardiola if Laporta trusts Xavi in a long project.

Talking about Xavi's success at Barcelona, then perhaps we also need to talk about their current statistics. I quoted something from one of the sources [1] to see how the Laliga team's statistics are. And sure enough, Barcelona seem to have the upper hand statistically and they are a top rated team. Not too different from Real Madrid, but I recognize Barcelona's advantage based on this.
Xavi is considered to have been able to make Barcelona improve more than the previous coach. Barcelona had a good game play and they seem to be getting into a rhythm again at the moment. The performances of Lewandowski, Dembele and Raphinha have made them have a strong attacker. But these statistics are also supported by good midfield, defense and attackers.

The statistics you provide seem clear enough that Xavi is able to make Barcelona a stronger team, not only in Laliga but Barcelona can be even stronger in the champions league, but all of that requires a process which will not happen in one season. Xavi career will be good at Barcelona if he is able to present a trophy this season because the demands of fans are champions and champions, they don't know that all successful achievements will take a long time. barcelona has two opportunities to win trophy this season in the Europa League and Laliga. Laporta is very happy if Xavi is able to present the Laliga Trophy this season.

I think what @ginsan is trying to say is that recently a lot of coaches have not been able to do well with Barcelona. Barcelona actually struggled a lot to find a suitable coach who will be able to bring in good results for themselves. But Barcelona was not able to find anyone worthy. Until Xavi came as the coach of Barcelona.

With him being the coach of Barcelona, we could see an instant improvement in the performance of Barcelona. It is hard to actually say that he is the only reason for Barcelona's success. But it is also not going to be very wrong to say that he had a lot of influence in the recent success of Barcelona in La Liga.

I honestly think that he took a very sensible and realistic approach to everything. He understood that this squad is not going to be able to win everything. So, he chose a target which is the La Liga title and he is concentrating on that. .

I noticed things are slightly different at Barcelona to how it was for Lewandowski at Bayern Munich. At Bayern munich he had enough support from his team mates, I must say I am a little bit surprised at his performance level at Barcelona, at the age of 34 I expected a decline in performance but he has managed to keep up and still scoring many goals this season. Barcelona can do much better if Usman Dembele and Raphinha can step up their game and make more contributions.

I agree with you, and still they have managed to be on Top 1 in La Liga. They are playing at the expected level, put they could perform better and settle a difference in points between then and Real Madrid if they coordinated more their game. But this way is also good, as there will be a fierce competition between both teams also.

His great interest in playing for Barcelona gives him more enthusiasm in my opinion, so he quickly gives his best for Barcelona. In the last season's transfer market, we saw how determined Lewandowski was to leave for Barcelona. It's something to appreciate what Lewandowski has given to Barcelona, even though it hasn't made any achievements for them, but his appearance gives a lot of hope to give something valuable.

I think Lewandowski wanting to play for Barcelona has nothing to do with his talents or skills or how he plays. I mean he is a professional who would play however he could, as well as he could anywhere he goes. The difference is that Bayern players got used to him, he wasn't this good the season he joined Bayern neither, but the more they got to know him, the more goals he scored.

He is not young anymore, but he is not super old neither, by the time everyone around him in Barcelona gets used to him, they would be able to actually give him the passes he wants and he would be scoring a lot more goals, or maybe it would be too late and he would get older before they get used to him.

If you think about the probability of Barcelona winning the La Liga title, we can see that Barcelona only have one really good opponent that they will have to worry about and that is Real Madrid. Without Real Madrid, Barcelona can win against the other teams without too many problems. So, I believe that if Barcelona can perform well against that other opponents and maintain that opposition on the table, Even if they don't win against Real Madrid, it is not going to cause too many problems for them.

But Real Madrid is not going to accept defeat so early in the season. They are also trying to get to the first position of the table. But at the same time, Real Madrid will have to think about defending the Champions League trophy successfully. Barcelona does not have any problems like that. That is one benefit Barcelona has.

after reportedly retiring from the French national team, benzema will focus more on madrid and I think the competition between the two giant la liga teams will be even tougher. real marid still has a big chance to shift barca, the two teams will definitely continue to compete to win in every match they will face in the future and I'm really looking forward to their extraordinary performance.

One of the clubs that need a total overhaul is Barcelona because the club have under performed in most recent time and since their last match which was a bit favorable to the club and meeting with another bigger club in the La Liga this season and being able to win the match will really help Barcelona to recover and move up on the league table.

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

This season La Liga is not boring thankfully. Real Madrid were so alone in the lead last season. Barcelona had really bad days at the beginning of the season with Koeman. Xavi's arrival was barely enough to finish the season at the 2nd place being quite away from Real Madrid. But in this season Barcelona are very consistent in the league. Somehow they can't reflect this performance on big matches and this cost them really big in the Champions League as well. Maybe some tactical changes are needed for big matches as of now.

Considering their effort the only team that can stop them in the La Liga is Real Madrid. We all know how miserable Atletico Madrid are this season. They are already far away from any title race. So Real Madrid have already defeated Barcelona once but they are still at the second position. Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league. If they do this and defeat Real Madrid in Camp Nou then I think they can really be the champions after a three-season break.

This season is interesting because Barseon went all in making expensive purchases while having huge debts. After the elimination from the Champions League, it is already clear that the all-in failed and did not bring the expected results, but there are still opportunities to make the situation worse Grin

If Barcelona don't reach the Europa League final and win La Liga, then something like bankruptcy or the start of a run-off of players is possible in the summer.

This is another good point of course. Grin

Maybe Barcelona are much better in the La Liga but we can't say the same thing for their financial status currently. They pushed their luck very much in the previous transfer window and they were nearly not even going to meet the La Liga financial fair-play rules. They had to leave some players out of registration as well like Kessie as far as I can remember. In January, they won't be able to make any transfer if I'm not wrong. Because I remember a statement made by Laporta like they didn't have such plans.

Sergio Busquets is a defensive midfielder while De Jong is an attacking midfielder. so even if Sergio Busquets leaves in January, the ideal replacement would be Franck Kessie. or N, Golo Kante if Barcelona succeed in signing him in January. whatever it is, Barcelona should let Busquets go while still having a transfer fee. for De Jong, if Barcelona put him on the sale list in January, I would really regret it. he is a talented player, after all, Barcelona's young midfielder still needs the guidance of a more senior player like De Jong.
On the wing, like it or not if Raphinha's performance doesn't improve. Xavi must replace him with another player, at least Barcelona still has Ansu Fati if Xavi wants to experiment. IMO, Barcelona's problem at the moment is the tactics and strategy applied by Xavi. if Xavi is able to see Barcelona's weaknesses and fix them, I'm optimistic that Barcelona can win at least one trophy. be it La Liga or Europa League.

Do they still have enough money for it? They had already spent a lot of money on the exchanges at the beginning of the season. For salary alone they need a lot of money. If they don't sell some players maybe they could get penalized about FFP.

Another news I saw on Social media if Beligham was going to Madrid. But reportedly Dortmund asked for a fee of 100 million euros. That possibility, he was prepared to replace Modric or Kross who was getting old.

There is no doubt in my mind that it is Sergio Busquets who is well past his prime at Barcelona. In my opinion, he should really consider retiring or leaving Barcelona in the very near future if he does not wish to continue playing there. There is a possibility that MLS might be the most appropriate option for him. I believe that this is due to the fact that he has been growing older. In addition, the pressure over there seems to be much less than that in La Liga. According to my opinion, it is time that Barcelona invests more in younger players rather than older players like Busquets, and I believe it is the right move.

Barcelona this season in La Liga really can't be doubted, and even though Espanyol can provide strong resistance when playing against Barcelona based on head to head. But I'm sure Barcelona will still be able to beat Espanyol in this match, because Xavi really seems to have succeeded in shaping Barcelona's performance to be very good in La Liga.
Therefore, I personally really believe that Barcelona will still be consistent in gaining points, especially since Espanyol this season is not looking good.
Usually Espanyol competes in the middle of the La Liga standings, but at this moment Espanyol is only one point different from the team in the relegation zone.
So yes, there is no way for Espanyol to be able to stop Barcelona's run in La Liga, because Barcelona so far at least after being coached by Xavi and then Barcelona can be very good to dominate La Liga again.

Barcelona certainly doesn't want to drop points in this opening game, it's very likely that they will win with Espanyol considering that playing at home is always a win for him, the points are very thin with Real Madrid I don't want this to slip for Barcelona and with the confidence of the players in form good performance, it can be concluded that in my opinion it can earn points.

We really don't know the final result but according to head to head it is clear that Barcelona is superior and also Xavi has a good form in applying strategy to their game this can be built better considering Espanyol is not a formidable opponent for Barcelona.

Xavi and his squad will definitely defend the standings in LaLiga, they will perform at their best, their players are quite brilliant so I have no doubts if I bet on Barcelona.

If you think about the probability of Barcelona winning the La Liga title, we can see that Barcelona only have one really good opponent that they will have to worry about and that is Real Madrid. Without Real Madrid, Barcelona can win against the other teams without too many problems. So, I believe that if Barcelona can perform well against that other opponents and maintain that opposition on the table, Even if they don't win against Real Madrid, it is not going to cause too many problems for them.

But at the same time, Real Madrid will have to think about defending the Champions League trophy successfully. Barcelona does not have any problems like that. That is one benefit Barcelona has.

Barcelona can actually win real Madrid if they can start with the right line-up. If Barcelona can keep up with winning all their games starting from Espanyol which is their most recent fixture it will become a reality to reclaim the title from Madrid who won it last season without any opposition. Barca just has to keep topping points because Madrid is just 2 points behind waiting for a draw or lose to move up.

I believe in Lewandowski to improve his performance even more by the upcoming games. He was actually doing a just fine job in the La Liga. He is very comfortable in the lead of top scorers table. He is currently one of the most scorers in the Champions League even though Barcelona are eliminated in that tournament from now on.

He has been just lacking in performance against big teams but this problem can be solved easily. He is a very experienced top striker and I think he will manage to be like his times at Bayern Munich in such games as well.

Barcelona can do much better if Usman Dembele and Raphinha can step up their game and make more contributions.

No doubt Robert Lewandoski is doing great at Barcelona much more than what was expected from him because of his age and the level and number of goals he has scored for Bayern Munich. At Bayern, he has so many players helping him no doubt likewise here in FC Barcelona where he is considered the savior of Barcelona in most cases because looking at the number of goals he has scored so far it can be said that the Barcelona team is under his shoulders because without his presence in a match Barcelona still finds it difficult to score goals and win matches. Lewandoski is a good goal scorer no need to be surprised when he scores goals as for his age, it has nothing to do with his performance all he needs just a good pass from his teammates and he will score as many goals as possible even as he is the top scorer so far in Laliga.

Bayern Munich was more of a complete team than the current Xavi Hernandez and Barcelona side who are still struggling to build themselves together and have a good and sharp chemistry amongst the full squad.
Lewandoski wanted a change as he felt 2020 he should have been the favorite candidate to win the FIFA World Cup which was robbed indirectly or directly by the organisers for Lionel Messi.

Once Barcelona gets that close union and Chemistry, best believe they're dominating the La Liga and I kinda feel like Lewandoski would win the Ballon d'or one of these years ahead, I believe.

For the level in this competition, I am not worried for Lewndowsky for the time being. The problem is that once the body indicates that it is no longer possible, then it is really done. We also saw that with other players who went back to South America from the Spanish league. And La Liga also has a fairly high level. Barcelona can only use a fit Lewandowsky. They will eventually have to find a replacement for him, but that will certainly take another 1.5 seasons before he can no longer. Depay is a completely different caliber and is definitely not among the top.

Yes indeed he looks still fit for now, and also he is still very productive to fill the front lines of Barcelona. I wouldn't be surprised when he stays for the next few seasons at Camp Nou until age really stops him. Lewandowski can answer the needs required by Barcelona on the front lines. The goals he created contributed so that Barcelona can sit at the top of the standings now. Even though they had to be eliminated in the Champions League, hope has resurfaced for them to win La Liga this season. This is also thanks to the hard work implemented by Xavi Hernandez since his arrival as coach of the club nicknamed the Blaugrana.

Lewandowski remains fit enough. Even Cristiano Ronaldo has proven himself well and done well. He can give a lot to Barcelona. And hope LaLiga wins.

We haven't seen Lewandowski perform very well in the World Cup, the main reason being that his teammates have not been able to support him well. Hopefully he will join the Barcelona club training very soon and prepare himself for the next match.

How Barcelona performs after the World Cup remains to be seen. Hopefully many of the team have now returned to training. Barcelona have a game in a few days, we will understand if they still have the same performance as before the World Cup.

Espanyol are always difficult opponents, but considering Barcelona and their players are in such good form then of course they are expected to do well too. A number of players involved in the World Cup also played well, but it is unlikely that Barcelona will lose good momentum in the first match after the World Cup break.

I will be very surprised if Barcelona lose to Espanyol. It was a home match for Barcelona, and we know they are currently a very strong team when playing at home. Even Barcelona have not conceded a single goal at home in their last 7 matches this season for Laliga. Barcelona have scored 17 goals in their last 7 home matches in Laliga this season, 6 wins and 1 draw are very good results for them.

Barcelona have impressive performance in La Liga after managing first position standing awhile behind 2 points from Real Madrid, but I don't think with Xavi Hernandez have giving best performance, actually Barcelona eliminating from Champion League group stage and I don't know what reason said Xavi is the best manager for Barcelona.

Left many matches in La Liga and not sure with Barcelona consistency until the end season, actually lack mentality winning against bigger team become problem for Barcelona this season, loss from Real Madrid in El Clasico match, defeated by Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in Champion League showed how poor mentality winning from Barcelona this season.

How Barcelona performs after the World Cup remains to be seen. Hopefully many of the team have now returned to training. Barcelona have a game in a few days, we will understand if they still have the same performance as before the World Cup.

Barcelona have impressive performance in La Liga after managing first position standing awhile behind 2 points from Real Madrid, but I don't think with Xavi Hernandez have giving best performance, actually Barcelona eliminating from Champion League group stage and I don't know what reason said Xavi is the best manager for Barcelona.

Left many matches in La Liga and not sure with Barcelona consistency until the end season, actually lack mentality winning against bigger team become problem for Barcelona this season, loss from Real Madrid in El Clasico match, defeated by Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in Champion League showed how poor mentality winning from Barcelona this season.

For the level in this competition, I am not worried for Lewndowsky for the time being. The problem is that once the body indicates that it is no longer possible, then it is really done. We also saw that with other players who went back to South America from the Spanish league. And La Liga also has a fairly high level. Barcelona can only use a fit Lewandowsky. They will eventually have to find a replacement for him, but that will certainly take another 1.5 seasons before he can no longer. Depay is a completely different caliber and is definitely not among the top.

Yes indeed he looks still fit for now, and also he is still very productive to fill the front lines of Barcelona. I wouldn't be surprised when he stays for the next few seasons at Camp Nou until age really stops him. Lewandowski can answer the needs required by Barcelona on the front lines. The goals he created contributed so that Barcelona can sit at the top of the standings now. Even though they had to be eliminated in the Champions League, hope has resurfaced for them to win La Liga this season. This is also thanks to the hard work implemented by Xavi Hernandez since his arrival as coach of the club nicknamed the Blaugrana.

Lewandowski remains fit enough. Even Cristiano Ronaldo has proven himself well and done well. He can give a lot to Barcelona. And hope LaLiga wins.
