As I said previously in several posts, Barcelona actually has a fairly competitive squad. It would be a shame if Xavi couldn't maximize and manage it well. We know very well what Barcelona is experiencing with its financial situation, they are even trying to borrow several other players to strengthen their team. and yeah, Xavi has an important role as a coach, so that doesn't mean we blame him for the situation his team is currently experiencing. but more about how he has to fix his squad so that it gets back on track.

IMO, currently Barcelona is experiencing a decline in several sectors. Barcelona's defense is currently not as strong as last season, especially as young goalkeeper Inaki Pena is not as reliable as Ter Steger. Apart from this, Barcelona's front line had difficulty scoring goals even though they had enough chances. in particular, Lewandoeski. Apart from that, several players were injured. For me, all teams are involved, not just their young players who are currently starting to develop. also, how Xavi tries his best for his squad. after all, he was the architect of Barcelona. who must design his team as strong as possible, and improve on the weaknesses. that's why, we put more emphasis on Xavi but not to judge him. Except, almost all of Barcelona's main players are injured, we can understand that.

Well, we agree on one aspect. However, more precisely to improve the quality of all players. Xavi can try rotating, changing and placing his players. If necessary, Xavi can apply several patterns and also change the system. but we are well aware that what we say is not as easy as the reality. What is certain is that I hope Barcelona will be able to show their best game.

Barcelona is facing a very difficult time s this season with poor performance based on lack of good striker and poros defence. The worst of all they are financially broke which makes it impossible for a replacement and transformation of the club to be back in a good form. It is a pity that there is nothing Xavi can do about it to improve things because no funds.

Any club in this state will never win any league and I don't thing that Barcelona is exempted. Xavi just have to try his best and manage the players that he has to see if they can be able to maintain the top four on Laliga, so that they can qualify next season to UCL, as for their performance in UCL, I don't think that it will be possible for them to go far.

You're right, Barcelona were trash this season, but you have to realize that Real Madrid were absolutely trash last season too. The two teams traded places as trash teams in different seasons, only they were the two competitors who really made La Liga better. Do you want to debate that? I think one of those two teams is absolutely trash if they fail to win the title.

This season things have been difficult for Barcelona. They are 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, but La Liga is not over yet. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also likely to be considered trash if Girona wins the title. But anyway, we're not arguing about trash, right? 

Barcelona even though their performance in the last season was perfect has dropped significantly in this season and this is connected truly with the crisis in the club and the hard financial challenges that the club is facing which have led them to slide out of the top clubs in this season, at first we thought that Barcelona will make a consistent follow up of what their did to those clubs in the last season, but along the line it was discovered that alot has gone wrong with the club.

But much more to that is the motivation of the present players to be able to sustain the present pace or even increase their performance which could position the club for the next round and also aid the club to finish the season in the top 5.

I think what you said reflects Barcelona situation as a whole, which means the challenges and pressure that Xavi will face in the future are very big. Limited space in the transfer window due to a limited budget, injuries to key players and the instability of available players are factors why Barcelona is currently shaken, but it is clear that in the future Xavi can find the best solution to get Barcelona back on track. On the other hand, no one needs to be blamed at this time, everyone in the club collectively takes responsibility for the situation experienced.

Like clockwork, ups and downs in performance will definitely continue to come, but from another perspective we have to give appreciation to Xavi, because he was able to maintain Barcelona performance so that it didn't fall into freefall. In fact, I think that if the situation they are currently experiencing were similar to other clubs, perhaps their performance would be worse than Barcelona today. I see that Barcelona is starting regeneration in its squad, in my opinion this transition period is very risky for performance, but there is no wiser choice in the long term than to suffer first and have fun later.

So far with the  composition of Barcelona players being very worrying after Lewandowski goal productivity has decreased Barcelona which is plagued by  financial problems has  taken advantage of the situation by limping  along and Xavi has  no other choice. He could be said to be in a  dilemma because this club has too many problems which make the players lose concentration on the field. Barcelona from outside or within the squad not benefited  much this season. Luckily even though making it to the top 3 is not  a bad achievement they can still try  to maximize the opportunities  they have. Barcelona has ruled out fighting for the  trophy with Madrid and Girona, because what they want  to do is secure their current position until the end of the season.

It is highly unlikely to expect Barcelona to dominate La Liga every consecutive season, even if Barcelona gets out of its financial troubles. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are teams that can also be candidates for the title in each different season, so these three are competitors who will really fight for the title each season.

However, there is one interesting fact, Barcelona is the only La Liga team that has won 5 La Liga titles in the last 9 seasons. Barcelona failed for many seasons to win the Champions League title, but Barcelona has become the best La Liga team in the last decade. I know Real Madrid is the team that has won the title more often than just Barcelona, ​​while Atletico Madrid is a tough contender but rarely wins it. Xavi is considered successful at Barcelona, ​​of course because he made good improvements in the Champions League this season by bringing Barcelona through to the round of 16.

Well, it is true that Barcelona was definitely better than Real Madrid in the last season. But I don't know about Barcelona being "far better" compared to Real Madrid. And this season Barcelona is absolutely trash. At least when we think about Barcelona as the defending champion of La Liga, trash is the correct word here in my opinion.

es, they are in the third position but the one difference is quite big already. It is going to be hard for Barcelona to get back in the first position. I don't think there is any point talking about the last season because it is already in the past. This season Real Madrid is looking better. But I still don't know if Real Madrid will be able to win the Champions League or not.

Most of the blame will still be on xavi as it has to do with the teams performance and it's normal that whenever a team is declining in their performance the first point of call is the coach and it's very fine because he overseas every affair of the team especially on the pitch and the results they produce.

There are young players who are able to help the team get desired results as expected of them, this was seen in their las two games when firstly was the pattern of the game experienced after a few changes and in the most recent has to do with the performance of the team using the younger and good players all through so I will say so far it's more of a tactical problem and player's placement if xavi can further improve on these aspect he can make do with the squad he has got and possibly get amongst top four even if he's in able to win the lalig a this season but then by next season he will be properly positioned for winning trophies.

At the moment I still haven't found information about Barcelona because it must be difficult to determine Barcelona current space give the financial limitations they are currently facing even now some of their players are being targeted by several big clubs such as Araujo whom Bayern targets to strengthen their squad.

It is currently difficult for Xavi to make a breakthrough because on the one hand he is required to make Barcelona performance better. Still on the other hand Barcelona financial limitations make Xavi unable to further explore the depth of the squad he has.
So that with Barcelona performance which tends to decline in goal productivity, Xavi cannot do much because of the limitations they have even if they are looking for players in the end it will only be the same scheme as players whose contracts will expire or be loaned out.

I believe that a team doesn't get terrible over a single season, they were the title winners last season, they can't be all that bad in just a single year, they are still fine if you ask me. The thing that matters the most to me is the fact that they have come up with 4 amazing talented young players, you may think that doesn't mean much, but that is great for them for two main reasons.

First reason is that they have players in 4 positions that can play for over a decade, and still can be sold later on, think about it, playing someone for 10 years, and then still have value to sell them is great, doesn't mean they will be great for 10 years, but there is a possibility. Or, if they want to, they can sell right now and make even more money as well, fixing their transfer and financial issues.

Barcelona are not in good form this season. It will  be very difficult for them to win the La  Liga title. Because their performance is very erratic and at the same time Barcelona is  behind Real Madrid by a big gap of 7 points. If the performance is not regular, it will not be possible to reduce this gap of 7 points.
Barcelona are still in financial trouble. So  they are not able to strengthen their  squad enough by buying players at high prices. Barcelona needs another experienced striker in the attack. Lewandowski's performances are  now quite erratic. At the same time, Barcelona needs an experienced  defender in the squad. If not, it will not be possible for  Barcelona to maintain dominance in the Champions League and La Liga.

Of course, but Xavi is trying to shoulder the team in times of need. What they want to do is very challenging. They will not spend much money and will be successful. This seems unlikely. He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.

some movements in the ladder of better striker, many strikers at 12 goals want to become the first one

For me, as long as Barcelona can still stay in the top four, of course it will still be a good result and not bad at all. I also don't expect Barcelona to always be a title candidate every season because maintaining consistency is certainly not as easy as imagine . But indeed, because Barcelona during Xavi coaching was only good in La Liga, and then if this season Barcelona fails in La Liga then of course that will be a bad result because Barcelona is also not very promising in getting good results in the Champions League.

Considering that the young players who were reinforced this year will form Real Madrid's core squad a few years later, I think even the semi-finals are a great success. We have to be patient with Real Madrid for a year or two. With patience, there may be a Real Madrid that knows each other very well and whose reserves are even very high quality.

When comparing the two clubs, Real Madrid has emerged as the clear winner; they will not accept anything less than the best outcomes. Carlo Ancelotti is present to make sure things go smoothly with his players. Real Madrid has accomplished everything in the span of decades, and they are largely gaining solid points on the table despite competing with Girona for first place. Since the beginning, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been the only clubs that have piqued the imagination of viewers, and they have been unstoppable in terms of competitive racing.

I think we all know that it is not easy to rotate players and maintain the performance of Madrid's main squad last season where they played in the UCL and Laliga as well as other championships, of course Ancelotti had anticipated this, only they failed to be eliminated by Manchester City in the UCL so To catch up in the domestic league is a bit difficult because there is not enough time, but even so last season they were not said to be without a title because they won the title in the Copa Del Rey.

Even though it was a title they didn't really hope for apart from the UCL, I'm also not a Madrid fan but last season was a bad season for them but after this season they performed very well because they added some talented young players and this is the new era that Madrid wants by bringing in several young players like Bellingham and others, I think they have a chance to win the title this season, whether in Laliga or UCL. I think you also feel the difference now, right? 

OK, Real Madrid might make more money than Barcelona just because Real Madrid made it to the semifinals of the Champions League, so what have they achieved? Expectations for Real Madrid are always high when it comes to winning titles, but they failed miserably last season if they didn't talk about business.

So far I am not one of those people who hate Real Madrid and any team for failing to win the title, but I have never regretted saying that Real Madrid was bad in domestic competition last season even when Barcelona had to face big problems. Barcelona was much better than Real Madrid last season, that is the fact.

There shall not need to bring the new player to the club. Michel can still perform better with available player as long as all of these players are still complete and none of them will decide to leave from the club to join in other club.
Im also still worrying about michel sanchez since girona's president stated that if other club could sign him as a new coach and it makes me think girona can end its way to climbing up once michel will be leaving from the club soon.

There will be no new players to be added into the club. Girona's players have been targeting by so many clubs otherwise. It will be absolutely ridiculous if girona's president will give him permission to leave from the club. Girona needs to keep him far longer in the club.
but yet again as long as girona will able to keep all of things to stay much longer in the club and i think that UCL will be possible for girona next season. It's very hard to maintain the performance from the club and michel has done it.

Girona needs to prevent him and key players to leave from the club no matter how big the offer came from other clubs.
