Osasuna should be appreciated in that match because they managed to make it difficult for Barcelona very well. Even the goal scored by Luis Ezequiel "Chimy" Ávila in the 76th minute was extraordinary. A very hard kick even though it was from a position that was actually quite difficult. Osasuna has players who played with maximum strength in this match.
If you look at the match, you have to say that Osasuna deserved at least a draw. It was great that Osasuna never gave up, even with 10 players they never gave up and continued to be enthusiastic even though in the end they lost due to a penalty. Yes, I like Osasuna players, they are really great at shooting hard in tight spaces.

Barcelona actually has an opportunity that doesn't lose much in this match. And it can be said that Barcelona also played very well. But I think Robert Lewandowski is indeed getting older. The performance is not as good as last season. It's a little slow now. But still the quality is still good compared to other ordinary players. So he can still be relied on.
Agree, Lewandowski is no longer the same as last season, even though this season he can still be relied on, this can be seen when other players are stuck when scoring goals, he always appears as a savior. But I see that Barcelona still needs to change its strategy in the next matches, Barcelona's performance is still bad, even against a club like Osasuna they are struggling to win. Moreover, in the Ucl, the top 16 will be stuck at best if their performance continues like this.

Osasuna had more attacks in the match. Barcelona is having a hard time finding offense. It was Barcelona's luck that they scored a penalty goal and Osasuna missed a red card. Even though Real Madrid is missing right now, it could be better than Barcelona once the injuries are over.
Luck was still on Barcelona side after the referee awarded a penalty before the end of normal time, Lewandowski was able to make it 2-1 after successfully breaking into Osasuna goal with his kick. An important victory for Barcelona as well as saving them from a draw due to the impressive performance of the Osasuna players. Barcelona appeared as a full team in this match, but their game was not as usual. Barcelona defense, which was very strong last season, needs to be maintained this season. After the four matches that have been played, Barcelona defense is still easy for opposing players to penetrate.

You are right, Barcelona's performance in the 23/24 season is not as good as last season. Barcelona dominated La Liga last season. This season has yet to show half of that. There are some problems among the players of the Barcelona team. It is often observed that the Barcelona team players play randomly. I hope the Barcelona coach will be able to solve the problem in a short time. The coach of the Barcelona team is a very intelligent and experienced coach. I thrive as a Barcelona supporter

As for Lewandowski's penalty goal, I think it was good luck because if they didn't get a penalty they could have won a draw in this match.
I don't get it too. Barcelona's performance was average even though the club has been making so many goal attempts but most of these chances are wasted. Xavi has not been solving the problem faced by lewandowski.
He had been making another complaint toward xavi's strategy at this moment. I must say barcelona's performance was not good or bad but it's enough or in average performance of barcelona.

Barcelona was winning the game through penalty, not from open play. I saw that if barcelona's performance was dropping compared with the previous match before that.
Actually, looking at Xavi's positioning and strategy, I think it would be better if he tried Ferran or Ansu as wingers and Gavi returned to his normal position.
Although they are still doing quite well in terms of results, but if you look at their intensity, especially in terms of goal productivity, I think this is indeed a problem for Barcelona.
Lewandowski is a forward waiting in the wings to finish, but he rarely gets a decent ball in matches with several opposing defenders marking him.

As always, great possession of the ball (71%) with only 4 shots on target. I continue to believe that all this comes from the coach and Xavi is trying to implement a scheme that has not been working for a long time. They got lucky yesterday, but that won't always happen, plus when we say that Barcelona got lucky against Osasuna, things are bad.
Judging by the way Lewandowski started the season modestly (and how often Bellingham scores), he does not shine to become a top scorer this season.
There's nothing wrong with their possession as their tiki taka is very troublesome but on the other hand we seem to be on the same page in this regard as Barcelona still have a lot of problems especially in attack at the moment.
Indeed, their attacking line and the chances they create are still fairly good but the final finishing is still bad if we compare their current condition with the record of goals in each match.
Even looking at the match against Osauna yesterday we can see in terms of opportunities Osasuna was a little better.

Lewandowski still hasn't rediscovered the form of his first season on the other hand, it seems Xavi still wants to make some experiments by continuing to try to exploit Gavi on the winger and wants to give Lamine Yamal a chance but I think it would be better to try to put Gavi in an ideal position and give Ansu time.

Tiki taka is outdated garbage because no one is going to fight for the ball anymore if the team focuses on ball control. It is enough to stand on the defensive and keep the zones closed. In essence, tiki taka is a bus + possession of the ball. If a team does not risk going on the attack for fear of losing the ball, then in modern conditions it will suffer from draws with outsiders and even defeats (due to counterattacks).
I agree because instead of trying to take the initiative to recover the ball against a club that plays tiki taka it is better to wait and strengthen the defense so their tiki taka cannot penetrate the box.
Things like this happen often now so that Barcelona's attack pattern is always readable because they have difficulty penetrating the defense and only play with ball possession.
A few seasons ago this might have been effective but now it seems difficult to use in multiple games continuously.

Sergio Ramos is back at Sevilla!  Grin

I must admit that I wasn't waiting for this to happen. Because there were teams after him with much better contract offers. There were Saudi teams and Galatasaray. After turning down the Saudi I wondered if he was going to sign for Galatasaray. Because you know there have been rumours like he would join them on the condition that they qualify for the Champions League groups.

However he is back at home, Sevilla. I won't be surprised even if he decides to retire here but I don't know at what age he would like to retire. Do you think we would watch him in another place before he retires?

This move simply says a lot and I like you said did not expect him to turn down such offers from the east and Turkish sides to get him signed up. Sevilla will be very happy, for they are in a condition which will definitely lead to relegation this season, they need leadership from the defense and with the presence of the Champions League Sergio Ramos made the best decision.
The defense of Sevilla is not strong they have conceded nine times they have played this season one during the match against Manchester City and the other against the Premier League clubs the have faced, Ramos will help them improve the defense in the league and Champions League. Arsenal fans should be ready for war during the champions league.

Yes, I agree. Although Lewandowski is old, his performance can still be considered top-notch. Along with Giroud, they can be counted among the top quality senior strikers. Had Lewandowski performed a few years ago, he could have won big awards this year. What a pity that despite such a high performance, he did not receive the top award.
Well that's right. Even though he is old he can still maintain the skills he has. It's just that age can never lie to anyone. And so is Robert Lewandowski. The speed he had before was now starting to decrease. But still Barcelona still really need him. Because yes, he is still the best, even beating several young strikers currently available. I personally also hope that at least he should have more awards in Europe. In Poland he has collected many awards. And in Europe he has also lifted the trophy with the club he is currently visiting. But still, it won't be long before the position could be shifted by other young players.

I don't think so. Sevilla may also become the last team for him. It's caused by he was not even seeking to be paid with huge salary. That means if he is not being obsessed with money.
Ramos prefers to enjoy the rest of his career. We may see him retire after plays in sevilla.

Yes, maybe he will retire there or move to MLS or the Saudi Arabian League. It will be Ramos' reunion after almost 20 years of him going to Madrid and PSG. There was actually a serious problem when he returned to Sevilla. Ramos is not on good terms with the Sevilla supporters. But Ramos came humble. He came directly apologizing to the supporters. Maybe it's a good start, maybe it will be interesting if Sevilla play Real Madrid.
That's good because Ramos doesn't want money to play in the Arab league, at least maybe it's also true that he wants to spend his time in Seville until he retires because there are no players like him who refused high fees from the Arab league including Mbappe who was also offered at high prices but not in rejected by Mbappe, even so Mbappe is still relatively young so there is still time for him to continue to exist in the European leagues while Ramos may be considered to have a decreased performance considering his age which may be considered difficult to be an active football player.

I think Sevilla can rely on Ramos playing in the back line, they can at least make the defense a little stronger if Ramos plays in their main squad, at least Ramos can give his best performance for Sevilla and show Sevilla fans that he can make Sevilla a strong club from defense aspect.

The return of Sergio Ramos to Sevilla is news that is sure to bring joy to Sevilla FC fans! Despite much speculation surrounding his future, the decision to return home was a step that was probably very emotional and important for him. Of course better contract offers from teams like Saudi and Galatasaray could be a factor in thinking about it, but there is an important element that is often irreplaceable, namely a sense of bond and love for their home club. His decision to reject the Saudi offer and opt for Sevilla shows how much he loves the club and his city. Regarding the possibility of retiring in Seville, this is very likely to happen. Sevilla is home to Ramos, and ending his football career will probably be a very moving story. While we cannot predict his future with certainty, it is very likely that we will continue to watch him with great passion and pride before he retires.

Joy yes, I am also sure that a lot of people are going to warmly welcome him, but is he still able to help a club that is in deep trouble? He doesn't have any superstars to his left and right and that is what he is used to during his career, but that's a big difference now.

I understand the move made by Sevilla, but I am not sure what to expect from that transfer. It could go either way and nobody really wants to finish a career when it is going down steeply with performance. Maybe he can do something about their situation with all the experience he has.

This is exactly what brought Sergio Ramos back to Sevilla. He feels a sense of belonging to Sevilla and the biggest advantage for Sevilla is that Sergio left their infrastructure and started playing football. It will be fateful for Sevilla to re-join such a player, who has scored more goals than many attacking players in his career, and to give him a glorious retirement ceremony.

Quote from: MarjorieZimmermanGinger
Quote from: davis196
Real Madrid should be thankful to Getafe's goalkeeper for their win. Bellingham was simply in the right place at the right time.
I really don't know how Real will be able to compete against Barca for the La Liga trophy in this season. Real is having difficulties scoring goals against teams that aren't very strong. Barca scored 4 goals against Villareal, but they have troubles in defense and allowed the yellow team to score three goals. I'm not impressed by Lewandowski's performance. He scored the winning goal, but that was a pretty easy goal.
I'm not too worried regarding competition the title fight with Barcelona because if you look at Real Madrid, they have been much more consistent in their previous matches compared to Barcelona. But in the last match it reflected a little that at a time when several important players were injured, it made Real Madrid's game a little difficult and they were really frustrated in creating scoring opportunities by Getafe who played quite solidly.

So far the productivity of scoring goals still looks a draw between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's conceding problem is much better because so far they have only conceded two goals compared to Barcelona which has conceded four goals in La Liga. I would like to see a more competitive rivalry compared to last season for the two team Spanish giants the.

Well, the two teams are doing well in this season because their starting make people to believe that they will still drag the la Liga league title at the end of the tournament. But since Real Madrid players started having some injuries that made their performance to dropped down, which their manager need to do something on time in this season because Barcelona are well prepared to make things happen again like the way they used all their tools to embraced the la Liga league title last season. If Barcelona can defeated Osasuna in their home 2-1 to achieved the three points from the match, showed that they will be more productive in goals scoring than Real Madrid in this season.

Osasuna had more attacks in the match. Barcelona is having a hard time finding offense. It was Barcelona's luck that they scored a penalty goal and Osasuna missed a red card. Even though Real Madrid is missing right now, it could be better than Barcelona once the injuries are over.

Glad to see him back again right now. I expect him would not be going back to the sevilla after sevilla's director openly rejected him last month but sevilla seems interesting to sign him.
The club has no money + ramos accepts to be paid only around 1.25m for a season which is very very small for him. Ramos received an offer from saudi club which was worthy 12 times more than his current salary in sevilla.


However he is back at home, Sevilla. I won't be surprised even if he decides to retire here but I don't know at what age he would like to retire.
After 18 years playing on the various clubs and he is now coming back to the sevilla.

Barcelona was already a famous team. He didn't become a famous team with Xavi. It made people wonder if he could catch up with his past successes with Xavi. Barcelona's history is full of great achievements. They had great years, especially with Ronaldinho and Messi. In recent years, they are not what they used to be, but this situation may gradually change.

Xavi was able to get Barcelona back on track because before he joined the team, the impact of the financial crisis was very strong. Thanks to discipline, he managed to return good results, retain players and replenish the team with new players. Yes, Barcelona used to have Messi, but now they have Lewandowski and Gundogan, if that's not enough then I'm sure Xavi will be able to strengthen the team even more.
So far, Xavi Hernandez has actually been able to make Barcelona better than the previous few seasons, but this season, the wins they have won are not very convincing this season, but A win is still a win no matter what, but they have to start thinking about being better because it is getting worse, the day of the competition will be increasingly difficult and if they want to defend their title again then staying on a winning track is a must otherwise they will experience high difficulties in fighting for the title.
Yes, they have Lewandowski, and this season there is İlkay Gündoğan who is one of the key players for the success of Manchester City, Gündoğan is expected to perform brilliantly in his first season with Barcelona as he always showed when he was with Manchester City if in the next matches, Barcelona appear more impressive then Real Madrid will face a tough challenge from this club in title race.

It's true even though he is able to win but Barcelona's game is still far from satisfying. I think at this time Xavi is well aware of the condition of his team but slowly he will continue to improve it. This is still in the early stages and maybe some new Barcelona players are still in the process of adaptation because Xavi has made several changes in the composition of players in Starting IX. I believe that after the international break the game Barcelona will again experience a rapid increase and the match against Real Betis will be evidence for to assess the extent of the actual Blaugrana power.
If Barcelona's next opponent is Real Betis, I think the assessment of Barcelona's strength will not be more accurate due to the fact that Real Betis very rarely win when they face Barcelona in La Liga. So that for the next match it will also be easier to determine if Barcelona really has a bigger chance of winning when they face Real Betis later, so it will be better if an assessment to see these strengths is taken when Barcelona face a stronger team than Real Betis this season.
