For sure Barcelone is getting better but I think it is early to say that we are in Guardiola's era. Being consistent in scoring and winning games is something important and they need to keep that way even in the next season since this one is almost gone.

No, I don't think we can compare them at the moment to the time of Pep Guardiola. The current condition of the players is much different from that time. And I think Pep's time is Barcelona's best time.
Maybe Xavi is coached by him but their game at the moment is not completely the same. They are currently undergoing a move and Xavi is coming in trying to make Barcelona a great club again. Xavi did not eliminate Tiki taka but xavi also tried long balls and made them play efficiently.

We also have to admit at that time where Barcelona still had Messi as an agile player and had good pace, now with so many problems in Barcelona but Xavi can deliver achievements with Barcelona's comeback in such a short time. It's an extraordinary achievement that will certainly be appreciated as well, with prospects like this then of course Barcelona will be fine from time to time and hopefully until next season.

They is big improvement in Barcelona's performance. They are winning consistently in the matches lately, and haven't lost so far in their last 5 games. Barcelona now find it more easier in scoring goals. I noticed that in their previous matches, they scored 4 goals each in their last 2 La Liga games, and also scored 4 goals in their Europe League 2nd leg against Napoli. Also, there is great sense of cooperation between the players. However, I think with the help of Xavi, we will begin to witness the old Barcelona.

Barcelona are playing with a mixed squad of old, experienced and young, ambitious players. Xavi combined them so well and they all together are playing as a solid team which is bringing good results. They will need some players in defense system and need a healthy Ansu Fati for the next season if they want to fight for higher positions.

In this season, they are aiming at top 4 and they will compete directly with current champions, Athletico Madrid for that position. It is exciting to see Barcelona return too strong like this after Xavi came in.

The Granada match have eventually started. I will say Granada are the most favorite here, because they are hosting in their home. But, I think we will witness a tough match. Cadiz are in the relegation zone, and they needs more points to slide to the safe side on the standings. However, Granada performance lately have been terrible. While they lost some couple of points in their previous matches. The team needs to improve, and that should start from their ongoing match.

Duarte's early red card turned everything upside down. Granada, who I think will beat Cadiz, is lucky to not concede after this red card. The team that played more with the ball was Cadiz. They entered more positions, but they were generous and spent the positions. It is a chance for Granada to end this match in a draw.

It's a shame that Cadiz's superiority couldn't be maximized by Cadiz in today's match.
In terms of ball possession, Cadiz really dominates but their front line is quite confused in the final finishing which leaves no goals in this match.
Actually this is a pity but not with the bet I made because thanks to this result I got a pretty good profit

I think Barcelona has gone back to the old era, namely the era of Pep Guardiola's coaching which became a golden era for Barcelona.
I don't think it's about how many scores Barcelona players can score. But this is how they play, Barcelona's game is now more organized, focused and open, this is the key in a game, scoring goals is a bonus.

Barcelona currently has a coach who is able to analyze like Guardiola, not only that but I think Xavi is smarter than him. However before he took stay of Barcelona, the club was in difficult times. Unlike in the past many top players at Barcelona they are able to get various opportunities with good skills.

Yes, I also see Xavi's current condition is different because he has to manage within limitations. Due to limited funds, players who used to be goalscoring machines were replaced by new players who even at the beginning were not predicted to perform very well but the results were far beyond expectations. For example, Aubameyang was dumped by his previous club due to internal problems with his manager.

I would want to believe this Tiki Taka style is just a modification of the one we saw during Xavi playing era because what Barcelona is playing right now is nothing close to that. Those many crossing into the 18 yards expecting someone to head the ball to goal is never the Tiki Taka I watched with Pep Guardiola Barca. Although, their style of play has improved tremendously compared to what it was under Koeman but I won't hype this style labeling it as Tiki Taka.. No.

Indeed the barcelona game still doesn't show the tiki taka style like the pep guadiola era, but I see their game against napoli is almost the same as tiki taka although not 100%, I think now xavi is slowly starting to revive the old barcelona style of play and of course xavi it still takes a lot of time to re-adopt the tiki taka style that has long disappeared today, especially since the majority of the players currently owned by Barcelona are new players, so it will be a little difficult for Xavi to develop tiki taka quickly because indeed some players have this style of play who were different from each other in his previous club.

Barcelona positive trend cannot be separated from the new players who were brought in in the January transfer window. Aubameyang turns into Barcelona a new goal machine, he always scored in his last three games with Barcelona. While Adama Traore who has physical strength always troubled the opponent defense with his skills.

Xavi managed to revive the Tiki-Taka known as Barcelona DNA. My admiration for Xavi tactics was seen when Aubameyang scored against Napoli. Aubameyang scored a beautiful goal from 22 passes without breaking.

In the match against Bilbao, Barcelona has scored four goals in a row in three matches. The slick performance has shown by Barcelona players seemed to give a warning to other clubs that they had returned to how they used to be.

Barca looks stronger now. especially when you look at their midfield. Very strong ball possession. even in every game they always dominate possession of the ball.
it's true, now we are almost seeing a Barca coming back to life from the past. their form has improved, and now I believe Barca should indeed be grateful to Xavi who managed to restore Barca's strength after a decline at the start of the season. every fan I'm sure is already thinking pessimistically. but the arrival of Xavi with all the adjustments managed to restore the strength of Barca.

Xavi's strategy to return Tiki Taka to Barcelona seems quite successful for now and indeed this is a good thing because with the improvement now that they are making the difference in the game can be seen and it's proven that now they are in 4th position and even have the potential to shift Betis in position 3 because they are only 1 point adrift with 1 game remaining.
Personally, I wouldn't be too surprised if they could reach the 3rd position and even reach the 2nd position at the end of the season I wouldn't be too surprised by that if you look at the current performance

Barcelona have been the most impressive team in the La Liga recently. Their high effort helps them climb the positions or at least get very near their closest competitor which is Betis now. The gap is one point now only. Betis are a really solid team even though they lost to Sevilla last week. It is not going to be easy for Barcelona to end the season in front of them. But as long as Barcelona perform like this, I don't think that Betis can hold their current position for a very long time too.

Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0. That's a very good score. Many people thought that they would struggle in this match. But Barcelona played a great game, contrary to those who thought they would struggle. Real Betis has a tough job. If Barcelona continues like this, they will easily pass Real Betis. Aubameyang fit in very well as a striker. If this harmony continues, a good league order will await Barcelona at the end of the year.

Apparently, the January market favors Barcelona. The acquisition of the service of Traore and Aubameyang have proven to be the best thing for them so far. Their game has improved in the last games Xavi has finally found his inner power so to speak. Barcelona win over Athletic Bilbao was incredible, Barcelona played like they did when Messi was on the team. It looked like the old Barcelona squad playing again

Barcelona impressive appearance in the last few matches cannot be separated from Xavi's polish. Barcelona is starting to show a revival this season, the presence of several new players in the winter a transfer market makes Xavi's job easier to run his system. Barcelona rise is still in its early stages, they still haven't won anything. The battle is not over, they will continue to compete to be the best at the end of the season, now the only trophy they can still bring a home is the Europa League, but they still have a long way to go to the finals.

Xavi makes his impact on Barcelona but some additional players from winter transfer helps them too. Those players contribute a lot to recent successful results of Barcelona. Some players bring immediate effects like Traore, Dani Alves or Aubameyang. The last winter is the most successful transfer season of Barcelona last few years.

Furthermore we can not deny the impact of Xavi on Barcelona transfer tactics so it seems they already chose a good young coach to rebuild their team. Young players, Gavi, Gabi, Ansu are growing up under Xavi management and they are very promising for future of Barcelona. To get higher ranks and bigger success next season, they must focus on improving their defense because it is their weakest area now.

next games will be very interesting:

Real Madrid - Real Sociedad

for this game i think real madrid will win the game because real sociedad is not doing well, they have had a close defense in the last games, i believe real madrid will win this game and score at least 2 goals

Atletico Madrid - Betis

This will also be a very interesting game, in my opinion Atletico Madrid will win this game, they will have some difficulties but in the end they will win

After slumping in the Ronald Koeman era, almost all Barcelona supporters were pessimistic about the bad results that Barcelona continued to get.
The presence of Xavi Hernandez brought a big change for Barcelona, the Tiki-Taka tactic was again played by Barcelona like the Pep Guardiola Era, The mentality of the players is increasing, and the positive aura in the team has a good impact on every game they play. Xavi cool hands have brought a big change to Barcelona's appearance, a 4-0 win over Bilbao is a remarkable achievement, because in the previous meeting in the Copa Del Rey Barcelona lost 3-2 to Bilbao.

Now that Barcelona has regained its identity, Xavi has also begun to develop the potential of La Masia dropouts, Gavi, Nicolas Gonzalez, and Abde Ezzalzouli seem to be played quite often in every match.

giving their young players a chance seems like a great way to develop new potential. Barca did well. although what Xavi didn't happen quickly either. Xavi's adjustment to existing players will take time. Even in the past, there has also been a perception that Xavi has not had a positive impact on a slumping Barca either. but Xavi answered those doubts with a very good performance. Now Barca must appear with more confidence.

Madrid teams had a solid day yesterday. Real Madrid had some difficulties in scoring actually but they still defeated Vallecano by 1-0. Benzema was there to save the team as always. But I wouldn't like to underrate Vinicius Junior's assist too. His performance this season is really impressive also. He has scored 13 goals and made 7 assists so far in the La Liga. And Atletico Madrid succeeded in defeating Celta Vigo in a home game by 2-0. They actually had a balanced game this time unlike the Osasuna game. Celta Vigo still found many chances though but Atletico Madrid found more chances compared to the Osasuna game. This might be a good sign for them.

Victory is enough to keep them further away from Sevilla. The difference of 9 points makes Madrid will be a little calm. For sevilla, they will against Real Betis next match. Sevilla's last match was lost 2-1. I hope Sevilla will lose again. Sevilla have looked to be declining in recent matches. They lost 1-0 to Dynamo Zagreb in UEFA League. In the league they are not too good either. Real Betis might be a little good they lost once in five games. They are certainly competing to stay safe or can even carry the difference in points with the rank above it.

Sevilla didn't lose any points this time after getting a 1-1 draw against Espanyol the last time. It was hell of a game against Betis though but Sevilla still managed to end this game as the winner by 2-1. Betis had big problems against them again like they did in their home game in the first half of the season too. Sevilla got 2-0 ahead once again but at least Betis scored a goal this time. Grin

Sevilla are keeping the 6-point gap for now but it is doubtful if they can maintain this for a long time. Real Madrid seem to be much more consistent than them anyway.

Although Barcelona missed few chances in the beginning, they were back on fire with back to back goals. Aubameyang was perfect and correctly used the chance came to his side. A quick and a perfect goal. Then could see goals flowing in back to back. 2nd goal was a brilliant strike from Dembele and followed by Jong and Debay's goals. Both really played their best and contributed a goal each. The shocking this is, Athletic club was not even near to the goal post giving a try. Once again a best performance from Barcelona.

An extraordinary victory, and a very consistent performance shown by Xavi's men, their midfield played very well, even Pedri became a very good midfielder in yesterday's match, although Pedri did not score and did not make assists for Barca, but his game is able to bring Barca's game to life, many Spanish media dub him as pedri potter,, hopefully Barca will remain consistent until the end of the season..

Also, Barcelona has one match postponed which of course Barcelona will be part of the top 3. It's as expected when I saw where Barcelona's performance started to improve under Xavi, now really they just need to overtake Betis and Barcelona are definitely strong in the top 3. If yesterday Barcelona kept Koeman then maybe Barcelona would be close to the relegation zone, but fortunately Barcelona have a legendary player like Xavi who can restore good form to Barcelona today.

I think Barcelona will come back with 3 points from Elche's away game. They will get through this match unscathed. Real Betis, on the other hand, needs to pull itself together after the stress. It was a team that played well, but they have started to lose points quite easily lately. If they do not win the Atlético Madrid match, they will be under more stress.

Will be with last success three match before and Barcelona always score 4 goal on each match, begin first when defeated Valencia 4-1 than success qualify on quarter final UEFA Europe League after defeating Napoli and last match success revenge from Athletic Bilbao with 4-0. I think Elche looks not special club and easy how to make Barcelona keep on positive record. Applause with new transfer from Barcelona because last three match they can made 16 goals and looks more danger right now with forward Barcelona player and I think keep going on for several match later.

I think the Barcelona forward is now the strongest forward in La Liga. The chemistry of two new Barcelona players Torres and Aubanyang is excellent. At the same time midfielder De Jonk and Pedri are playing well enough. Xavi has been able to build bonds between each of the players in the squad. Barcelona as a team is very strong now. They will be able to score more than 3 goals against Elche in the next match.

I also hope Barcelona can continue their good trend at the moment and win that match from Elche in addition to expecting Real Betis to lose to Atletico Madrid. The win will help Barcelona snatch 3rd place from Real Betis.

Well, you're right and I can see that in their last few match. Their game is getting better, the players are getting more confident when they get the ball and their number of goals is increasing so fans can hope that Barcelona can maintain that good trend until the end of the season. I think Barcelona can also reach the Europa League final if they play like that every match, but there are always different possibilities that make reality not what we expected.
