This Barcelona squad will need at least 2 more years to get in shape and in the situation to be on the top tier teams in Europe. But at the moment, they are a lower A-tier team I have to say.

But I have to admire Xavi with how well he has done with the huge duty on his shoulders. Even at a time, Barca weren't even top 10. But now they are 5th placed and the influence of him on the squad is visible. I'd say that give this team time, and Xavi some more time, and Barcelona will turn around.
I believe it is not even about being in more shape, they need more players. They do not have players that play with Barcelona tiki taka style that Xavi grew up with and now uses as his tactics. Don't get me wrong, there are some players who uses that tactic but not all of them. Which is a proof that they need players either coming from youth like ansu fati and pedri.

They need to also stay healthy as well, ansu show some brilliance when he played but keeps getting injured all the time, I do not think that you can be a star player when you are always injured. All in all I believe that we should probably see Barcelona change a lot of players in order to get better, not just getting used to the tactic and all that.


I think they are now in an infinite loop of death. They don't have better players, so they can't win more trophies and can't generate more revenue. And as they can't generate more revenue, they can't buy better players - the cycle is something like this.

Yes, they now have very young talented players like Ansu Fati or Gavibut at the same time, they need experienced players to control the game.

yes, Piqué and Busquets are experienced but they have left their golden times way behind in the past. So I think they should take time and should carefully buy each player as money is also a problem for them.

This week the top and runners-up in the standings will face the mid-table teams. Real Madrid will host Granada, while Sevilla will travel to Osasuna's headquarters. Of course they are aiming for a win in this match, especially for Sevilla they will be targeting a win to continue to stick to the top standings Real Madrid.
I predict both teams will both freeze the win.

In fact, Barcelona had a good game from the first minute to the last minute of the Alaves-Barcelona match. They made a lot of passes throughout the match. They played more with the ball. However, it took them a long time to find the goal. De Jong was offside at the start of the position. However, in the flowing game, he came out of the offside and scored the goal. Congratulations Barcelona. They earned 3 points.

I agree. And not because I'm a fan. They've even had good games and good stretches of moments in the games that they lost recently. The blow for me again is to lose Ansu Fati now and my heart can't be broken enough times already because of him but watching the replays of their recent games you don't see them play hopelessly anymore.

Passes are much more productive, and more positive. They're making more crosses into useful areas than other teams. They just need to learn to finish those chances Smiley

A really interesting game in the Copa del Rey is closing in which is Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid. In this game, I think that Real Madrid are not highly the favourite club and the odds also prove me right. Bookmakers also think that Real Madrid can have a tough time as their winning odd is around 2.15 now. Athletic Bilbao have the advantage of playing home too and we might see them having their revenge on Real Madrid also. I mean the Super Cup game between them which Real Madrid won by 2-0 and achieved the title also.

Strange odds, in my opinion Real will win this match without any problems. Probably this coefficient is due to the fact that the main time may end in a draw and Real will win in extra time. In any case, I think that Real Madrid is undervalued and I will probably bet that they will win in regular time, this odds by a large margin compensates for the risk.

Normally Barcelona would be the favorite, but this Barcelona team can lose to anyone I think. They no longer have that status of terrifying the team. In the past, opponents were in awe of Barcelona and came for a draw. Now they are all going for the win, because they know there is something to gain. Time to renew at Barcelona and build a new team. This season they should quickly forget, also in La Liga.

ya.ya.yo!

True, all La Liga teams realized that when Barcelona it could be an opportunity for them to steal points.
This week Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid, in this match I see a draw may be the best result for both teams. Yes, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in the recovery phase of their performance. So sharing points is realistic for me.

their productivity decreases over time and this is a natural thing I think because in the last few years it was Messi who has always been the biggest goal contributor there, especially for the last 2 seasons he was in Barcelona because if I'm not mistaken in the 2019/2020 and 2020 seasons /2021 even though he didn't win, but messi became the top scorer there.

Messi goal productivity for Barcelona can't be doubted, under the uniform of Barcelona Messi has scored 634 goals and this makes him Barcelona top scorer and Barcelona dependence on Messi was evident when Messi left, after Messi departure Barcelona seemed very difficult to get a forward who can be as sharp as messi, and even now memphis depay and ansu fati who are predicted to be the next messi  not to consistently score goals.
the harsh reality is because it is something that is true.
On the other hand, talking about Ansu Fati and Depay is still too early to make them candidates like Messi.
And now rumors of Depay going to another club have been widely heard and Ansu is still having problems with his injury.
Barcelona's situation is now very different and it's difficult to get out of that path

I think that it would still be a good achievement for Barcelona if they end the season at the third or fourth place in the standings. I mean that they are still trying to play as a complete team and they haven't been very successful about that. The thing they need is time and a good striker also.  Grin  They are having big problems on scoring more goals. For example, the Barcelona we've known so far should have been able to destroy Alaves in that game by scoring at least a few goals. If they solve their scoring problem, then they'd be more assertive.
the match against Alaves was not good for Barca. because with only 1 goal, that's all at the end of the second half.
Barca has a problem with blunt strikers. even though the game of ball dominance and attack is quite good. they seem to have developed. but indeed no attacker is dangerous in front of Barca.
this season to reach the 4th or 3rd position I think Barca can achieve. Atlético is in a bad trend. Barca can use this to shift it on the standings board. most importantly Barca appears with 3 full points in every game.

In a problematic season like this, there is a really tough match is waiting for Barcelona up next. Their opponent is Atletico Madrid now. Lucky for Barcelona, Atletico Madrid also are in a similar shape now. They are also struggling to win matches. The Valencia victory was extremely difficult for them surely. And in Camp Nou, I don't see a clear favourite. Both of them can beat the other. But there is a feeling in me that Barcelona won't lose and they might even win by a one-goal difference.
This match is important for both Barcelona and ATM for their quest to get or keep a position among top 4. ATM could pass to the 5th spot or even 6th in case they lose the game. Barcelona needs 3 points to get closer to the first places and try to secure a CL spot. From 2020, ATM didn't lose any match vs Barcelona. Odds aren't that big, Barcelona @2.4 while ATM @3 is risky imo!
If Barcelona win against Atletico Madrid it will be a statement victory that will boost the team spirit high.and it will show howfar and how well Xavi has been trying to take this team.even though he does not have the star players he would have crave for, he is still trying to play the Barcelona way,which is not easy.
Even though playing at Camp Nou I'm still not so sure Barcelona will win, but if Barcelona can win the game then of course it's a great achievement for Xavi. As said above, the reality is that Barcelona have not won in their last 5 matches against Atletico and if tomorrow Barcelona can win in this tough situation then of course it will be a huge reward from and for Xavi. At least it is a hope which of course should be a motivation for them, because for me the best result in this match is a draw and both have chances to win but Atletico have a bigger chance.

It's not the end of the world for Barcelona, the fact of finishing 4th in the table doesn't mean it's bad, on the contrary, with all the problems they've had, with the change in coach, with all the new strategies of the team, they have not been in a bad position, in fact it is one of the teams that has not been seen that has fallen a lot like others, that for me it all started since they let Messi go, I think that was the biggest decline of Barcelona, but that's a good thing that happens because that way they see the players more for what they contribute on the pitch and not for the money, that's a great lesson for Barcelona.

I think the problem why never have success forward on Barcelona right now because depending with midfielder position
If you look closely at the current problem in Barcelona squad, it is quite complex and not in the midfield line only. They have no strong strikers, less creative midfielders, and weak defenders. I can understand if the quality of Barcelona squad is decreasing because most of the players are still young and have less experiece. While the old players in the squad aren't in their top performance anymore. The solution should be signing top players who fit with Barcelona game style. Unfortunately, Barcelona has no money to sign them since they have a serious financial problem. Even, Barcelona management plans to put the players who have a big value and salary on the transfer list. They try to decrease their financial burden.

I think midfielder is the key for team playing what have to do when attacking and defensive moment, if midfielder can't manage the game style will be broken and hard for forward how to scoring goal on every match. I know Barcelona problem in this season most complicated except goal keeper only. Defender is need new player position and Pique should out because he was over and very late when against team make attacking counter and he left several step from against forward. Barcelona need defender have good speed and most hardest how Ramos playing and Pique character is not enough good I think.

Currently now,Barcelona are into a rebuilding process of their squad,and their present coach is really doing something nice at the club,giving those youths opportunity to play first team.
When I watched them play,I saw a very good team that Barcelona will have in a year or two years to come.
It's not just about the process of intimidating your rivals with your strength. A team must have a certain strength to dictate its will to most opponents and modern Barcelona does not have such strength. In principle, no matter what condition Barcelona is in, this club still looks like a great irritant for any opponent. The opponents were more restrained not by the authority of Barcelona as a team, but by the presence of certain high-class players who could punish an overly arrogant opponent who would try to dictate his game to Barcelona. Therefore, there can be no high authority of the team without a strong game and results, and Xavi still has a lot of work to do to make Barcelona look like the one in which he played himself.

Yes exactly. they are now rebuilding their team again, from all elements. But as you said, this will not be easy and will not be instant. There needs more time to prepare this club-ready again and be better again to come up as one of the most favorite clubs in Spain, like before, with its glory of El Classico (I really miss this).
But, we also don't know what will happen again to Barcelone in the next season, whether they can really come up again with better performance or get worse because of their intern problms(many problems that are not solved yet, especially it is regarding to the finance).

Well, aside from that, I am really waiting for the match round of 23, there will be several big matches that will happen.
especially Between Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid
Their point gap is very small

However, it cannot be denied.  Building a team with limitations is not easy to do.  Limited funds are one of the main factors why you say that.  Player motivation is hard to come by, they are currently playing just like dropping out of duty.  If they want to leave immediately, then don't go into debt but find new investors for this big club. Im sure that find him isn't difficult.

The match will be tough. But, I think Barcelona is the favorite here because it is their home match, and they have no intention of losing. Moreover, Barcelona didn't lost any of their last 5 La Liga  matches. The most interesting part is that Barcelona are currently 1 point behind Atletico Madrid on the standings, which means Barca probably have to win in order to silde up the table. Although, Atletico Madrid might be having a bad shape, but I think they will struggle not to lose also. However, my prediction on the game is BTTS.
