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.
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.
That player was a problem to many EPL defenders because of his muscle body.
He also has speed and control . But is not good in finishing. If Xavi can play him along side a good finisher he will do well.
For the match against Atletico, we should not expect win just like that because the new players have not study the pattern
barcelona decided to bring their old players back. Adama Traore is an excellent player, I really like to see when he plays and the guy in Barcelona can score a lot of goals if you just give him the ball. Barcelona made a good choice considering that they don't have much money to buy very expensive players

the chances of this game ending in a draw are high, that's why I prefer not to bet on this game, maybe both teams score can be a good option, finally I'll wait the first 15 minutes and then I'll decide what to do

I'm wishing to see Barcelona being more effective in scoring from now on as they have reached an agreement with Aubameyang. He still seems to be a free agent now on Transfermarkt but it is soon that Barcelona are going to make this transfer official. Aubameyang is a decent striker actually and he still has at least two years ahead of him to be productive I think. If he has a performance near Suarez or Benzema in the La Liga, then he would be a big help for the team without doubt. They just need to build a strong game plan and benefit from Aubameyang's finishing.
actually aubumeyang's contract with arsenal still remains until the end of this season, but arsenal terminates aubumeyang's contract and barcelona can get aubumeyang's services on a free transfer, i really salute barcelona even though they are experiencing a financial crisis but they are able to buy talented players, hopefully with this purchase can boost barcelona's performance, this season at least barcelona can finish in the top 4 of the standings and can get a ticket to the champions league..if he is willing to change his attitude after joining barcelona I believe he is a good transfer and the struggle to get through to the UCL ticket will be easier.

Barcelona's attacking lineup has been weak since Messi, Suarez and Griezmann left the team. But now there are enough talented players in the Barcelona forward. Torres has been picked by Barcelona from Manchester City. Barcelona will be able to rely on the talented youngster. At the same time, Barcelona is putting Fati in the squad to replace Messi. While the youngster has yet to prove his worth, he is expected to be a worthy replacement for Messi. Depay and aubumeyang are now in the team at the same time. Now the Barcelona forward is strong enough.
I don't see this because some of the news I read that Auba had terminated his contract with Arsenal earlier and joined Barcelona as a free agent.
Even in his contract he is for 6 months with an option to extend for a year and in this case Arsenal are free from Auba and do not need to help pay his salary either.
the latest news i see is that he is now training with his teammates in barcelona now.

We have not yet seen any official news from the Barcelona authorities that Aubameyang has been added to the team. However, we see a lot of unofficial news or rumors. I am attaching some news links related to this.

We hope that Barcelona will become more stable with the help of Aubameyang. Aubameyang was out of the field for a long time. It also takes a long time to get ready. If Xavi cooperates with Aubameyang then maybe Aubameyang will be ready for the Barcelona team very soon.
On the Auba side he has no hope at Arsenal and indeed one of the best options is to move to another club, on the other hand Barcelona are also quite benefited because Auba is also a pretty good striker and can indeed be an option when Ansu Fati is injured and can also be duetkan with other new players, namely Ferran Torres.
I hope that Auba doesn't waste this and changes his actions to be more disciplined
Aubameyang is a young player. He is also a good player. Time is not against him
Are you serious?Please don't kidding me, he is already 32 years old.
Check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Emerick_Aubameyang
maybe 32 years is too young for him a senior player who has played almost 15 years broke into football and earned a 5 year place in dortmund ,but his performance decreased even xavi also hesitated to recruit himbtw I glimpsed adama traoré's return to barcelona is he going to play next match when vs athletico? looks like the match will be very exciting to watch
To be honest I also doubt that Aubameyang will make a good contribution to Barcelona, because even before Aubameyang received
disciplinary sanctions, Aubameyang's performance had already shown a decline. I think Aubameyang is past the peak of his form,
so if Barcelona signed Aubameyang it would be a gamble.
You must know every purchase of a player will always be a gamble. No one knows if a new player will fit with the club play of style, it is applied for each new player. In my humble opinion, Aubameyang isn't a bad player, he is one of the fastest strikers and he can score many goals in his best form. However, he experienced bad days in Arsenal, so he has no strong motivation to play. It will be different if he plays in a new club like Barcelona. I bet he will play better than in Arsenal and probably shows his best again.disciplinary sanctions, Aubameyang's performance had already shown a decline. I think Aubameyang is past the peak of his form,
so if Barcelona signed Aubameyang it would be a gamble.
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.
Athletic Bilbao are a team which are capable of defeating Real Madrid in this kind of tournament games actually. But they lost to Real Madrid once in this season and this cost them the Super Cup title. I wonder whether we will see this repeating here too. Athletic Bilbao have a home stadium advantage for this game.
Each team in La Liga is capable to beat Real Madrid although the chance should be different. Sure, Athletic Bilbao isn't a weak team, Real Madrid must be careful to play against them. However, I assume Real Madrid players are in a good condition, they are playing with confidence and high motivation lately. So, I don't think playing at the home stadium to bring a big advantage for Athletic Bilbao. Considering the current perfromance of these teams, Real Madrid should be the favorite team and seems to dominate the upcoming match.Aubameyang is a young player. He is also a good player. Time is not against him

I would like to know what matches made you think that Barcelona are improving their level of play. In my opinion, they are degrading - returning to the outdated Tiki Taka strategy. With such a lineup of performers, this strategy is meaningless, plus it is 2022 now, most teams already know how to successfully counter it. As for transfers, yes, they will strengthen the team a little, but Atlético's squad is still better.
Yes, the tiki taka game that they played again only made them superior in ball possession. But as for finishing, they will be tough now, not like they used to be in their heyday. It is true that the strategy can now be read by the opposing team. And of course every coach of the team they played against, would have been prepared to stop that.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.
Absolutely, there are teams and coaches that focus a lot on possession, and that makes sense in a way because in theory will make your rival more tired and psychologically weaker along the match, but there is a tendency to forget that winning is also about striking a balance. At the La Liga level, the rivals will detect that imbalance on an adversary and start playing confident defence and generate the opposite effect - like if there was a wall impossible to break.

Aubameyang is a young player. He is also a good player. Time is not against himHe has tried his best in arsenal but it is appearing like his good times is not used up. If he is given good opportunity in Barcelona he can make good history.
But I don't like his pattern of life. I always see him as someone who is not using his potential very well

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
It's not all about the strikers. Let's give credit to the defensive plays of the opposing team. They know what to expect.

Two days to go for the Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid game in the Copa del Rey. I'm hoping this game to be really competitive. Athletic Bilbao are a team which are capable of defeating Real Madrid in this kind of tournament games actually. But they lost to Real Madrid once in this season and this cost them the Super Cup title. I wonder whether we will see this repeating here too. Athletic Bilbao have a home stadium advantage for this game. If they make use of it properly, then maybe they can barely manage to eliminate Real Madrid. But it still seems to be a far possibility for me.

I didn't expect Barcelona to sign Aubameyang permanently he is now 32 years old, at that age I think the time to play well and be productive to score goals will not be long, maybe only 2 more years Aubameyang can show his best game. The options for loans I think are very good as did Adama Traore.
Hopefully, the presence of several new players in January will be able to lift Barcelona's performance to be able to return to their best game and be able to compete so that the race for the title will be more interesting.
He has lost a bit of his value, and he hasn't been playing all that much recently as well. I am not saying that he will not be any benefit to the team but he is not like some level changer for them neither.Hopefully, the presence of several new players in January will be able to lift Barcelona's performance to be able to return to their best game and be able to compete so that the race for the title will be more interesting.
Looking at their three biggest transfers of this period, Auby+Torres+Traore, none of them really changes the team all by themselves but when you put them together on the same team that does help the team be a bit better that way. They had some missing positions that needed an upgrade and they did that which is all that we can say about these transfers, they weren't superstars but they did upgraded the positions they are playing in right now.
transfer although as loan option from Wolves because he less contribution for his previous team just giving only one assist in this season. I have only expectation with Ferran Torres as best transfer and he has give proof with one goal for Barcelona on Copa del Rey although have out on 16 round after defeating by Athletic Bilbao.
