After being eliminated from the Champions League became a motivation for Barcelona to appear consistent in La Liga, Barcelona could have beaten Madrid in El Clasico volume 2 this season as they did last season.
it still the possibility that Barcelona can beat Madrid in the next meeting. but Madrid will still be dominant. currently, Madrid still has the strength to even beat Barcelona. the previous meeting we could see how Barcelona struggled to face Madrid's front line.
Barca may be able to beat Madrid if they improve the quality of their defense.
The main problem that made Barcelona lose to Real Madrid because of an injury storm due to the Fifa Virus, Barcelona's defense was very fragile after being left by two of its flagship players. Araujo and Kounde had to miss the El Clasico due to injuries suffered while defending their country.
Barcelona still has a chance to beat Real Madrid in the next meeting, let alone the second meeting will be held at Camp Nou. After failing to break through to the last 16 of the UCL, making Barcelona even more enthusiastic about appearing consistently in La Liga, Barcelona must not fail again this time after last season they failed to win the title.
This could be true, but on the other hand, things like this should have been anticipated because there is still a lot to say about Barcelona's players in defense and this goes back to Xavi's scheme.
On the other hand, for the second meeting later, of course, this is still quite long and the chances for both teams are actually still unpredictable because it depends on their performance whether they are able or not consistent until the end.
overall, Real Madrid were more consistent and deserved to win in that match. however. in terms of team strength, based on my eyes. both have almost equal strength. it's just like I said, Real Madrid were more consistent and very solid in form of play and in the end they won that battle.
but don't forget, the role of the coach is crucial to the victory of a team.
Don Carlo, was able to bring his troops to calm the battle in an important match. while for Xavi, the strategy he applied did not work effectively so his troops looked helpless during the match. even so, La Liga still leaves a fairly long match.
On the way later, both teams have a chance to win the title.
I agree with what you said because no matter how strong the current players are, the role of the coach can't just be lost.
Xavi's current condition can still be said to be clean and of course the fans are very happy, especially with Xavi's results bringing Barcelona back from adversity but now there may be some supporters who are starting to dislike it because their performance is now ruined in the Champions League.
Xavi should have some options from his scheme now because when the players are injured like a while ago his performance is not too disturbed.
