Presenting at least one trophy this season will be Xavi Hernandez's goal and they have that chance in the Europa League of course. Barcelona will do everything in their power to make that happen here and end their trophyless season. Moreover, Barcelona management also pressured Xavi to be able to present a trophy for them. Seeing the competition in La Liga they are faced with a strong club, namely Real Madrid, I don't mean to say that the club here is not strong enough to provide tough competition. But with the opportunities that exist, Xavi Hernandez must not miss opportunities wherever they are.
Barcelona still playing at least for 3 different competitions although they had failed on champion league but if Xavi can make Barcelona playing consistent i think at least 1 trophy will belongs to them especially on Laliga Barcelona is strong candidate to get the trophy and for europa league it is confirmed that Xavi target is reach to final match and he will attempts to hard struggle until reaching his target and first test is they have to beat Manchester United
About this match there is good advantages for Barcelona because on the first leg later Manchester United will playing without Lisandro Martinez because of suspension and if you noticed Manchester United had poor records while against spanish teams even the latest is they cannot able to wins from Sociedad so Xavi might utilized this statistics to get the better results later moreover Barcelona will playing as a host in the first leg
But indeed talking about this the Champions League is the biggest failure and the loss is certain because he can't be in the knock out phase of the Champions League and this is another serious problem they will face for their financial condition.
Indeed, for Manchester United and Barcelona, certainly they will be a little superior, especially with what you say, because the absence of Martinez in defense will obviously cripple the defender because until now there is still no one who is really good in that position.
There is another possibility if Manchester want a new defender to be transferred later but this is still uncertain and will have to wait for clarity on their targets in the upcoming transfer.
If I am very much in agreement with your opinion, I think that Barcelona is not a team that has responded as it should be, I highlight the work of its directors by pleasing Xavi with the players he wanted, they made it possible , but I really think that Xavi has not given the results obtained, perhaps it is because of the respect that Xavi must have in his club, but I would have already dispensed with his services with the fact of being back in the Europa League There are simply no excuses for him, they managed to put together a great team and have done practically nothing.
The fact that they are in first place in the League does not mean anything, Real Madrid can at any moment take away that trophy that they carry there mentally, so that is not something that he can sustain.
I wonder what Barcelona's plans will be? They already have the transfer window in competition, and Real Madrid is a team that can buy the best players and needs them to gradually replace the oldest, because I think they will have them at most by 2024 and that is because of the great work What have they done by winning the League, the UCL, are you with the things that Barcelona should be evaluating, how to do to be at the level?
Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has already been dealt a huge suspension blow for BarcelonaMartinez has been one of the signings of the season after settling into life in the Premier League quickly, starting all 19 of the games his team have played since his £56m move from Ajax. The Argentinian is regarded as Ten Hag's lieutenant and he has been instrumental in helping tighten up the backline, demoting club captain Harry Maguire to a role on the bench.
But the 24-year-old will be out of the clash at the Nou camp on February 16 after picking up his third yellow card of the Europa League campaign against Real Sociedad during their 1-0 win in San Sebastian on Thursday.
