Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Barcelona have made a really good signing right before the Atletico Madrid game in the La Liga in four days. It is doubtful whether Xavi would prefer him in the starting eleven right away though. But I'm pretty sure that he would enter the game in the second half (maybe after the 60th minute). I wonder whether he will make a difference in his first game ever with Barcelona. I'm still not sure if Aubameyang is the right player for Barcelona but we will all find out about it after some time passes. I hope he can adapt to the team quickly.
It's been reported that Depay will miss the match against Atletico Madrid but it can be replaced with Adama Traore I don't think Xavi is worried because he has several attacking players after his purchase in this transfer market and Aubameyang is also a sharp striker in the future for Xavi can still expect that .
For me this is a very good change where Xavi wants Barcelona to be able to step up again after a slump but I think it can be in the top 4 and still be in the UCL candidate next season.

Anyway, Barcelona is on the good road again even if the road is a long one to go.
Regeneration takes time. They were at the intermediate level because of this regeneration. But looking at the progress of his development, at the moment they are still on the right track. Xavi has taken them on the right path. Although they haven't been stable, I think it's just a matter of time and maybe more money. There is no need to lie, nowadays achievements can come from money. Barcelona's money is not much therefore they must be able to maximize the players that exist at the moment. After that money is the task of management, they should be able to support Xavi by spending money on new players.

The Copa del Rey game between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid is very near us now. There is one day left seemingly and I'm going to be favouring Real Madrid to defeat them and advance to the next round of the cup. Real Madrid are like Athletic Bilbao's nightmare in San Mames. Because Real Madrid haven't lost here even for once since 2015. This is a really overwhelming statistics by Real Madrid and it looks like they can maintain this predominance here too. Maybe we could watch extra time this time but I believe in Real Madrid to finish the job before penalty shoot-outs.
I also have high hopes for Real Madrid to win their game against Athletic Bilbao easily, but after I saw the injury data, Athletic Bilbao are very good there, all their important players are not injured, this is a pretty bad signal for Real Madrid , maybe in this match I will choose a bet over 2.5 goals, or if possible when the match is running I will choose Athletic Bilbao in the first half.
Real Madrid is good team, and recently they are performing very good but still in this Copa del Rey it's not easy for them as Athletic Bilbao will also try their best for having spot into semi-final, and they are not bad team recently they also play very good games against good teams.

Now in first quarter-final of this cup Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca Rayo Vallecano won match by 1 - 0 now they are into semi-final with in second match is also playing between Valencia vs Cadis which is also Valencia is leading by 1 - 0 through Guedes at the end of first half here we can have some drama as Valencia has never been good team to hold lead at crucial phase of game.

Barcelona looks quite serious in the rest of the end of this season by bringing in several new strikers including Aubameyang on loan from Arsenal. Aubameyang's debut seemed a bit difficult because he faced Atletico Madrid, a tough opponent. Even though Atletico are without new signings in the January transfer window, I don't think it will be easy to beat Atletico. Luiz Suarez who performed quite well with his country Uruguay became Atletico Madrid's mainstay to win three points at Camp Nou.
When you said "he faced Athletico Madrid", I thought the game played already and I was confused, he WILL face ATM, we still do not know how the game will go. We do not even know if he will be playing as a starter to be honest maybe he will be in the bench for the first few games and only come out of bench as a sub for late game period?

After all, everyone gets tired and when you sub your striker out and get a fresh leg new one, the new striker could run a lot better and defence will be tired, so the other team would have to either sub their defence and get a new one and lose hope for scoring, or they will sub in their own striker as well and hope that their defence can hang on until their new striker scores. That is how football is a lot like chess, and I believe Xavi could beat anyone in this chess game which is why they are doing this well.

Barcelona are very lucky to be able to sign Aubameyang on a free transfer after the agreement between Arsenal and Aubameyang to terminate the contract was completed. The presence of Aubameyang and Adama makes it clear that Barcelona will soon sell Dembele, especially since dembele was brought in from dortmund he hasn't been able to make a good contribution to barcelona, instead Dembele spent more time on the bench because of frequent injuries.
The 32-year-old has a contract until 2025 at Barcelona but I don't think that means that Dembele will be sold immediately at a time when the team still need some wingers like him.

It might be reasonable for Barcelona to expect the money from the sale of Dembele to buy some new players who are available and suit them. Dembele could be sold if his injury history is taken into account, he hasn't had much chance to improve due to injury problems. So there's still a chance it will be the end of the season.

Barcelona have finalised the Aubameyang deal. As Arsenal released him, Barcelona have signed him on a free transfer. So it is clear now that this is a permanent move for him. The contract is going to last for two years though but if he really impresses the team by his scoring performance, then maybe Barcelona would think of extending his contract for one more year. Some years before, it was rumoured that Aubameyang would join the Real Madrid side actually. He's still come to the La Liga but not to Real Madrid.  Grin
It is Arsenal fault to not release him earlier for some cash, rather they gave him free for Barca..
Although he is showing poor performance in Arsenal, his transfer news sink ink in social media but also here Wink

For some reason, Aubameyang doesn't seem like he can do well in barcelona. I agree with you that he is a good player but I have my doubts as to whether he is a striker who will live up to Barcelona's expectations. He went to Barcelona training, now he is Barcelona’s player. We'll see how he plays.
Everything depends on expectations. Now Barcelona is not the club that can get Mbappe or Lewandowski. So even if a "regular" player like Aubameyang just does his job well and scores goals, it will be a great state of affairs for Barcelona. At the moment, everyone is comparing Barcelona purchases with the past, but those days are gone, everyone needs to lower the bar of expectations and then there will be no disappointments.
Agree with you here now time is changed and Barcelona is facing some serious troubles around them on and off the field, but good thing happened for them after arrival of Xavi now they have some better performance and team is able to grab their good spot in La Liga but now thinking about Mbappé or Lewandowski is not good idea because their debit is already touching 1.7 Billion Euro which mean some good troubles waiting for them in near future having player like Aubameyang is also not bad if he is able to perform some better here and bring back Barcelona on good position surely It's going to help them in near future and their better settlement about off the field issues as well.

Aubameyang was very good, but recently he was not playing good and also having many issues with Arsenal management which bring good for Barcelona.

Aubameyang is a very good striker, but only 4 goals scored for Arsenal is not the best indicator. He joined Barcelona as a free agent, so it's a good deal for Barcelona. And perhaps Aubameyang himself feels that his place is not in England, because a striker with such performance indicators definitely needs to change something. He is capable of so much more.

Aubameyang's performance has declined in recent seasons. He is no longer young to be a sticker in the Premier League which we know is one of the best leagues right now. Auba has also only played 14 games for Arsenal this season, so 4 goals isn't a bad statistic in my opinion considering the team was in a slump at the start of the season even though Arsenal are back in good form.

Lalila's caste is certainly below the Premier League, so that will help Aubameyang achieve his good form at Barcelona alongside several players who have speed like Dembele and others. The arrival of Auba to Barcelona is certainly a good choice for Xavi to overcome the problem of his difficulty in scoring goals this season. So I hope Auba can bring good changes for Barcelona. Auba's first match will be vs Atletico Madrid, if possible. But it will be good for him.

I hope Madrid win, but in some matches in the Copa del Rey they even struggle to win. Against Elche they had to play 120 minutes to make sure who qualified. Sometimes this result makes it difficult to guess, in terms of the quality of the madrid players are very superior but in spirit we cannot know. Even when competing there will always be surprises that cannot be predicted. As a Madrid fan I want madrid to win to get three titles in the season and they still have a chance at the moment.
Real Madrid will be the winners for the time being, although so far their form has fallen. I don't know what the exact reason is because when it comes to quality, of course, Real Madrid is superior in all aspects. Real Madrid players have to evaluate more in each of their matches against weaker clubs in the table. Real Madrid shouldn't have felt that they were at the top of the table from the start, so matches against clubs below them were not taken seriously.

Regardless, Barcelona's new-look attack looks promising, even if it does not have a single star player. None of the players are world-class; they're all average. We know what their boundaries are, so they didn't sign anything good. As a result, I worried whether or not they would be sharp on the field. While they look good, I don't think they're going to beat the Barcelona of 2004. However, I wish they would get back on track again very soon.

It’s always funny for me to look at such statistics - possession of the ball is 65-70 percent, while the defeat and the number of shots on goal are higher for the opponent. In such cases, possession of the ball only indicates inefficient play. Those times when the opponents rushed to pick up the ball and exhausted themselves have already ended, now the team just steps back and defends.
So long Barcelona can hold on to ball possession and have a good control of their games then we should hope the would also develop strategies on how to send the ball right inside the net. For me all I see is improvement by the day the tiki taka strategy has been their formula in time past and has always been their Winning advantage but currently their strickers aren't doing enough to portray the beauty in their style of Play

This is an outdated strategy. Also, even in the past, it has only been successful if your team was manned by superstars (but even then, there have been failures at the strategic level, when the opponent played completely from defense and let Barcelona roll the ball in midfield as much as they wanted).  Pay attention to the statistics - if a team controls the ball for 70% of the playing time, but at the same time it has fewer shots on goal than the opponent, then this means ineffective ball control.

Barcelona are going to host Atletico Madrid in Camp Nou in four days. This seems to be the most exciting game to me. Because these teams are close to each other in terms of form and performances. They both are struggling to get comfortable wins these days. I think that we will see these teams playing safe here maybe but I'm not thinking the same for Barcelona. I think that they will play an attacking football and they will want to have the most ball possession as always. And maybe they could get a win by a close goal gap too.

Of course the most awaited match this week is Barcelona vs Atletico, especially after the transfer market closed Barcelona managed to bring in
several new players. That are quite talked about are the arrival of Adama Traore and Aubameyang, meaning that Barcelona now have a more
formidable front line, Xavi has several attacking options at the moment. So now I predict that Barcelona should beat Atletico, if Xavi can use
Aubameyang and Traore. So Xavi doesn't have to rely on young players again, we'll see if Barcelona can do much better with some of the new
players they have.

The strength of Atlético Madrid still dominates this match, while the arrival of Aubameyang may be a big boost for Barcelona to appear more in terms of deadly attacks. although I don't really expect Xavi to ever make a specially designed tiki taka in Barcelona match against Atletico Madrid. If the final result will make Barcelona's existence better and outperform the game, I believe that gradually its position will shift continuously to occupy the top 3.
