Barcelona's strength this season has decreased again and several other teams have experienced an increase in strength. Because everyone can certainly judge when a weak team is able to break through Barcelona's goal in the Copa Del Rey, so when Barcelona returns to La Liga and the Champions League. I think Barcelona will experience things that are more difficult than what happened in the Copa Del Rey if Barcelona's performance does not improve this month.

This also included an unexpected defeat, especially against Alaves who were also competing in La Liga, but sometimes the results of matches in the Copa Del Rey are a bit surprising. In the European league, Real Betis was felt to be lacking and they could not continue their journey and had to go down to the conference league to play the playoffs.

I think that is not their priority competition and as we think maybe Real Betis really just wants to improve on their achievements this season in La Liga so they will fight as hard as possible to get their place back into the European league next season. Anyway, speaking calmly, the next Real Betis is Granada and they should be able to win this match without drawing or losing like the previous results.

It was a surprised game yesterday seen weak team to secured such goals from Barcelona and, it makes Many people to know that the coach don't have the strength to make Barcelona to lift this season trophy.

Well, something can still happen at this period if the coach can realize his mistakes to work on it before it's over because the current position of Barcelona in the la Liga league table speak about Barcelona performance this season.

Since Ster Teegan absent, Barcelona conceded many goals all competition from Champion League, La Liga and last match on Copa del Rey, against Barbastro as fourth division teams unbelievable with Barcelona have conceded two goals actually play with many regular players. Xavi Hernandez have improving with defense players for upcoming match should make clean sheet and not conceded many goals again.
Last season, in La Liga Barcelona conceded 20 goals of 38 matches but drastically drop performance in this season have conceded 22 goals of 19 matches.
Barcelona not only have to focus with attacking line keep consistency scoring goals but also Xavi Hernandez have improve with defense players keep clean sheet on every match. Last time Barcelona made clean sheet against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona failed to make clean sheet last seven matches in a row all competition.

Such a poor record for such an elite team Barcelona, they were able to win but then it wasn't a good one that such a weak and small team was allowed to get two goals against Barcelona, teams like Girona or Real Madrid wouldn't allow for a single goal let alone two from such a team that's to be considered so weak.

It's obvious Barcelona still needs to improve because with such performance in the la Liga they will definitely be loosing to an average team in the la Liga because barbastro wouldn't even get beyond relegation if they were in the la Liga. Xavi needs to start using the younger players who will perform better than the regular players, these young players such as victor, yamal and Felix should be futures full time maybe they will make a better replacement because they look even more productive and the defense line of Barcelona needs some further improvement because they don't look difficult to penetrate recently.

I don't know what happened to Barcelona this season, their inconsistent performance has left them far behind the leaders with a difference of 7 points in the league and only 1 goal ahead of a team they should have beaten soundly.
This unsatisfactory performance is indeed cause for concern, especially considering the quite large distance between points in the race for the La Liga title. Xavi as coach must immediately assess and improve the performance of the Barcelona squad. It may be necessary to evaluate tactics, intensive training, or adjustments in team formation. The presence of key players and smart rotation can also be an important factor in increasing competitiveness.
If this is not done immediately, Xavi and Barcelona's chances of retaining the title will be lost

Xavi put together a line up dominated by core players against Barbastro in the Copa Del Rey, but could only narrowly win 2-3 against the team from the fifth division. Barcelona was able to dominate the game but because the final finish was less than satisfactory, Barcelona had difficulty getting rid of Barbastro. Panic still couldn't be dispelled by the Barcelona players when their position was superior. Barbastro sporadic attacks were responded to with panic, as a result of very fragile coordination between defenders, the opposing team was able to steal two goals from Barcelona. Conceding two goals to a team like Barbastro shouldn't have happened, I can't imagine what would happen to Barcelona if the team faced a big team like Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.

After winning 5-0 vs Antwerp on September 19 2023, Barcelona has never won a single match with a score of more than one goal. Barcelona experienced a drastic decline in performance, the attack line was very dull, the midfield was unable to maintain the rhythm of the game well and the back line was very fragile. It is very difficult to compete in the Champions League and La Liga if the performance is like this, Barcelona will be in danger of not winning a trophy this season if Xavi does not immediately solve the problems that are occurring in his team's directionless play.

I admit that it was a bad season for Xavi, but Barcelona have not played good football since Messi left Barcelona. I can't blame the current situation directly on Xavi. For many years they had planned on Messi. Now they are having problems, naturally. I don't think they can finish in the top two in the league this season. Also, they won their last two games very hard. They were not good against Almeria and Las Palmas. They could lose more points

As long as Girona still has the opportunity, this club will definitely continue to chase Real Madrid's points with hard work and the desire to shift Real Madrid's position and Girona's opponent is not a strong club and I am sure that Girona can achieve a big score in the upcoming match.
Girona's journey looks very strong, trying to be consistent, only being beaten once at the start of this season and it is difficult to accept that a small club can compete with Real Madrid and I am also not surprised because this Manchester City cousin club can have quite a strong performance because it is managed by management. which is great and the competition in LaLiga this season we don't see Barcelona anymore because they have been replaced by Girona.
For Almeria, this club is currently crying at the bottom of the relegation zone without a win since the start of the season and this club only seems to be a place to get additional points for big clubs in LaLiga and after playing Girona, Almeria will next play Real Madrid and it is certain that Almeria will not be able to qualify. and regarding Cadiz and Granada, it looks like Cadiz can escape the relegation zone.

If we look at the old Barcelona, ​​of course we will see that Barcelona's victory with a big score will be the end of the match, but unfortunately, Barcelona is currently in a critical condition with many problems facing it, against a team from the 4th division of the Spanish league, to be honest, I was previously thought Barcelona would win easily but in fact even though they won but it was still quite embarrassing for a club like Barcelona, ​​they controlled the ball almost 73% and attempted around 24 attempts and 11 on target of course Barcelona looked really struggling in that match if win just score 3-2 fortunately for them Lewandowski penalty goal could be decisive victory.

I love the goal scored by Daley Blind in that game, the runs for the goal really made me smile good whenever I get to think about that one.
It's indeed a good way to start up the new year, they're now having back to back wins from the La Liga Competition down the the Copa del Rey Competition.
Elche did not do completely poor during that game try to fight for what they want.

Girona will be at home once again against Almeria, this is another game they're definitely going to win. Give Xavi Hernandez the break he deserves, he will do well. A lot of issues facing that club.

Yes, even though in the end Barcelona won with a score of 3-2, but conceding two goals against an unpopular team was quite disappointing. Barcelona should have won perfectly without conceding, but it seems like Barcelona is not doing well. Therefore, Xavi must be able to improve the performance of him Barcelona squad. The reason is, Barcelona points in the La Liga title race is very worrying, they are quite far from the team which is currently in 1st place. 7 points In my opinion, it's quite far. Especially, there are two teams above who have the same points.

Girona played this well. They didn't put too much energy into that game and yet they made sure that they are not running into deadlocks during the game and then risk that they get in trouble by the end of the game. They have played this with high efficiency and scored the goals at the right time. Scoring in the first half took away some pressure from them and then scoring in minute 67 put the nail in the coffin for Elche and it was clear that there is no coming back for them.

But Girona allowed Elche too many shots I think. Not too many of those shots were dangerous, but still a lucky shot can always hit and then the game takes on a new dynamic. They should improve their ball control game a bit.

Seriously, this season Barcelona have underperformed compared to last season where Barcelona were very successful in La Liga. But yes, so far this season although Barcelona is still in the top four in the La Liga table but still, that there is a very good Girona this season which is a strong competitor with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.

Also, about the last match Barcelona in the Copa del Rey against Barbastro although Barcelona still played with a good squad that has better quality. But yes, the fact is that Barcelona still conceded in the match and Barcelona also only won narrowly with a score of 2-3 against Barbastro. Obviously, these results are not entirely good results for a team as big as Barcelona and ya, with these results it will certainly remain difficult for Barcelona to get the trophy this season.

Xavi seems like he cant find the last turn in the team, is like they still have the same failures as always and they are not a consistent team, not matter which team is in front, for example yesterday, you cant allow a weak team like Barbastro score two goals against you.

IMO, from my point of view Barcelona actually has competitive players. unfortunately, their performance is very worrying. starting from the weakness of the defense line, and the difficulty of the front line to create goals at every opportunity. the absence of several players due to injury has an impact on Barcelona's strength, but it shouldn't be this complicated if Xavi is able to process his squad properly. we can see that Barcelona is indeed experiencing a decline. especially the performance of players in several lines, the poor performance of defensive players and the front line which is having difficulty scoring goals. one of them is none other than Lewandowski, he is starting to have difficulty scoring goals, especially after he was injured and the age factor was also very influential. however, in fact, if Xavi is able to manage his squad well, Barcelona should still be able to compete competitively. at least, Barcelona was able to overthrow Girona in the match a few weeks ago.
however, due to the poor performance of the defense line, and the goalkeeper not being able to rely on, Barcelona was more easily broken down by the opposing team. in fact, it's not uncommon for Barcelona to concede first. if we refer to each Barcelona player, overall the main squad of players can actually be relied on. although actually, Gavi's absence was also quite influential. apart from that, Pedri is now very vulnerable to injury. plus, Ter Stegen suffered a back injury. currently, Joao Cancelo's status is in doubt and he will reportedly be absent for several weeks. as a result, Barcelona's performance has the potential to decline again. so, we agree that Xavi's job is really not easy and difficult. however, as an architect who manages a big team, Xavi should show that he is a professional coach and can fix the problems currently occurring in his camp. Xavi's work is not only about improving the mentality of his team, but also improving the performance of his team. there are many ways, maybe Xavi should try some new patterns and systems. yeah, as a coach he has to do it.

Real Betis also lost in the Copa del Rey against Deportivo Alaves and that shows they are not in the best of their form.They come here also suffering from the European competitions as they were having difficulties there too.Personally I think they are thinking more about La Liga now trying to fight hard to get back in the difficult fight of getting a good position which will allow them to play in a good European competition next year.That is why most likely they lost in the cup game.

Real Betis' defeat in the previous week was quite surprising because they actually lost against Celta Vigo. Even though they were able to hold Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Girona to a draw in several previous matches and this means they have not won again in the last 5 matches. The result of 1 loss and 4 draws meant that they failed to secure a perfect 15 points and could only produce 4 points from the match.

Even so, Real Betis still remains in 7th position, but because they lost so many points, the other teams below them are getting closer to them. Like Getafe, Valencia and Las Palmas are starting to threaten them from behind and I think this will be a bad note if they can't maintain their current position or try to win again in the next match in order to shorten the distance from Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid are big guns in Europe and they’re also great and top when it comes to their league. It’s quite surprising how they’ve managed to still remain top and unbeaten without having a striker. It shows how good Ancelloti is in managing this boys, he really helped in bringing out their best this currently and currently they're performing beyond expectations,  Madrid would go far in all competitions this season.

 That’s a quality of a good team headed by a quality coach and that makes them a threat both in Europe and in the Spanish League. Don Carlo knows how best to rotate this team and get the best from all the players. For their Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday, I’ll be giving Real Madrid the upper hands against City Rivals, Athletico Madrid. Because ReAl is better in almost everything and Althletico isn’t really much of a match to them.

I don’t know for sure, but it’s not a fact that they were in profit - winning La Liga or second or third place does not greatly affect the club’s income, but performance in the Champions League has a very significant effect. Barcelona's budget for last year included that they would reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but they were eliminated in the group stage, so their budget did not receive much of what was planned.
