in the end Benzema won the golden ball
honestly he played better Lewandosky it would have been fairer for him to win

but in any case, Benzema is also an excellent player, he plays well and is committed, a true professional!

If Barcelona never shows an increase in performance in all the competitions that are followed, then the threat of dismissal is now haunting Xavi. The living legend of Barcelona is also now labeled as the worst coach and much worse than Ronald Koeman and Ernesto Valverde.

Hopefully, Barcelona will never forget that Xavi Hernandez is the one who put Barcelona back on track for the trophy after experiencing a bad season since being handled by Ronald Koeman. At that time, in a short time, only half a season, Xavi was able to make Barcelona strong again with more than satisfactory results because he was able to bring Barcelona to compete in the Champions League this season, finishing second in the 2021/2022 La Liga standings.



I don't think it's appropriate for Xavi to be addressed as the worst coach because Barcelona this season in La Liga is still in good form despite having poor results in the Champions League.

Barcelona was worse than this and if not for xavì who quickly worked on Barcelona who knows if it would  have been worse more. Xavi is trying his best even if Barcelona is not showing much improvement to achieve what they want, those who are not happy concerning Barcelona performance should look back to where Barcelona was coming from in days of Koeman . Xavi is one of the best coach Barcelona have ever had, we need to be patient with Barcelona performance,  it won't be the same forever.

I would say Sergio Busquets and Pique shouldn't be in Barcelona right now. These two players are a threat to Barcelona's squad at the moment. They are not playing well and often make bad mistakes, resulting in Barcelona conceding goals. Barcelona now have talented and reliable players in Sergio Busquets and Pique. And so we probably won't see these two players in Barcelona's squad anytime soon.

The series of negative results experienced by Barcelona must be immediately evaluated by Xavi. In my opinion, the Blaugrana are currently experiencing a leadership crisis in the field.

The Barcelona crisis narrowed down to one thing only, the importance of creativity and the courage to make decisions from a leader. Currently, there is no longer a figure who makes a difference in the Catalan team. Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets can no longer be relied on, their presence when playing as a starter instead made a lot of blunders which actually cost the team a lot. Therefore, Xavi must dare to make a new policy, in order to bring back Barcelona to an era of glory.

I agree with you. Those who are now criticizing Xavi should certainly not forget Barcelona's performances last season. Barcelona's performance at the beginning of the previous season was very poor. And Barcelona was probably 10th on the points table. After Xavi became Barcelona's coach, Barcelona's performance started to improve. And at the end of the season, Barcelona was second in the points table. I wouldn't say that Barcelona's performance this season is too weak. However, Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is weak. If Barcelona's performance improves in the Champions League then I think Xavi is a success.

It seems to me that the postponement of matches is already too bad an idea, no matter what happens. The game calendar is too tight to reschedule game dates. The death of the Queen, the upcoming World Cup have already affected the schedule of games and perhaps something will happen with the next “wave” of covid. In my opinion, now we must try to ensure that all games are held according to the original schedule, otherwise we will come to such situations as postponing the Arsenal-City game due to the previously postponed Europa League game.

The next wave of Covid will not be a problem for organizing matches because perhaps reducing spectators or competing without spectators will be an option to deal with matches that must continue as you said with a very short schedule it is impossible for this league organizer to postpone the game for the umpteenth time, If it is postponed as scheduled then this will be a blessing for Manchester City because they have enough time to rest and carry out the recovery process for injured players.

You speak so confidently as if you see the future. But what if a team reveals a large number of not even sick, but simply positively tested for covid, and they will have to miss the game? I think few clubs will agree to play a game without 5-6 players from the main team. In general, I see that the calendar is already as compact as possible, so the best option is to avoid any transfers of matches.

Of course they have not forgotten the changes in Barcelona since Xavi Hernandez joined. I think those who criticize just want to remind that Xavi must not be satisfied with what he did to change Barcelona. In fact now there are some problems that exist in their squad (problems in terms of substitute players) who are not able to replace the positions that were left by playing well. This seems to have not been touched by Xavi so he has been struggling in the last few matches.

[Davian144]

I don't think that anyone is disputing that Cavi did well for Barcelona. Xavi is not a bad coach but I also know that almost every coach can do what Xavi is doing and more with the squad in Barcelona.  Xavi could be doing so much for Barcelona but to my assessment he hasn't done much in champions league.
Last season he crashed out of the champions league to Europa and this season the  same is happening. Barcelona is not an Europa League club.

At first glance what you say is true even though in reality it is not as expected, especially in the Champions League. Because Barcelona has started to look difficult in the Champions League even though the opportunity is still there, but it is a little less likely to qualify for the next round.

But I don't think that Xavi didn't use his abilities in the Champions League because of that, because in the Champions League almost the average team always tries to perform better than usual. So the competition always looks fierce and exciting, like when Barcelona against Inter Milan, even though Inter Milan is not so good in Serie A this season.

Betis have a good chance of catching up with Barcelona in the standings today. In order to do that, they need to beat the underdogs Cadiz. I think they will not let this opportunity slip away and pick up three points. Similarly, I see Elche's match against Real Madrid. It should be an easy three points for Madrid.

Yes, there is an opportunity for them to catch up with Barcelona, who are second in the standings with a difference of 3 points. Also their opponents this week are not strong, even easy because they are one level above the team at the bottom of the relegation zone. Barcelona will also play their match this week against Villareal. Villareal are a tough opponent, they are one of the most difficult teams to beat this season, it's just that their attack is not very strong.

Barcelona is in a lot of trouble after losing against Madrid in the last match. They may lose their position in the points table. Barcelona need to get back on track very quickly. Champions League matches are a must-win for them if they want to qualify for the next round. At the same time, if they cannot maintain consistency in La Liga, they will lose the second place in the table very quickly.

Barcelona should bounce back immediately, Madrid was a tough side if they had met some other club's they would have won but this is Madrid. Barcelona didn't do that bad if you watch they just need to bring in some players immediately the world Cup is over.
With Madrid tonight they will want to extend the winning streak yes elche are seeking for the first win this season but not sure of that will be against real Madrid

It was logical that Barcelona would lose to Real Madrid and remain in second place. At the moment, both clubs are championship contenders. But Real showed their skills and now Barcelona will have a really difficult time psychologically, especially if Betis or Atletico start to catch them up. The main thing is for Barcelona not to lose form in the second half of the season.

The loss to Real Madrid is a tough lesson for Barca. First, Barca's midfielders have to push and actually play to win and not play not to lose. Second, the team was playing very slow and we know the result is that the opponent will have enough time to get their defense back. lastly, I noticed that maybe because of Xavi's tactics the player do not seem to enjoy the game. Xavi should wok on that and try to be a little more flexible.

I don't think Barcelona will go down just because of the defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico, so it's a natural result for them and it's very possible to expect Barcelona to win the next match. But I already suspected they were very likely to lose after a series of bad results in the Champions League, especially because Barcelona's defense was not good.

Xavi may need to improve his defensive system in the next match if he doesn't want to drop more points. He can still focus on the Champions League and expect something great, but I don't think they can win if the defense is bad. Barcelona will next play against Villareal, it should be a good start to their win especially since Barcelona are playing at home.

Barcelona just got their first defeat in La Liga this season after being bent by Real Madrid 1-3 in the El Clasico match at the Santiago Bernabeu last weekend, Barcelona must immediately get up by giving the best performance so as not to fall further behind Real Madrid. Three points must be secured while playing at the Spotify Camp Nou, in terms of quality Villarreal are not as strong as their previous opponents.
Villarreal who have just won against Osasuna are ready to fight to try to steal points at Camp Nou, but Barcelona must be very motivated to secure full points to keep their chances of Champions this season.

Xavi's strategy can be said to be monotonous without any breakthroughs he made when he met a deadlock. That's what makes it difficult for them to be able to score goals. Their forward line is too dependent on a Lewandowski, if Lewandowski can't find space then they are at a stalemate when they attack. There is no second option, no strategy can break the game. They play too much with the ball so when they get chances they often miss the moment.

Barcelona biggest obstacle in La Liga is still Real Madrid. So when they lose it obviously affects the stability of the players. Because when the top of the standings was led by Real Madrid, it seemed as if Barcelona still couldn't get past. However Real Madrid is already in the first standings, and they will continue to maintain that position. The current Barcelona still can't keep up with Real Madrid and that's the reality. Besides Real Madrid, who are still focused on chasing trophies this season in the Champions League, it seems they don't want to miss the La Liga trophy either.

Real Madrid's attack is the combination of exceptional young players and an experienced Kaim Benzema. Vinicius Junior is the highest-rated young player in La Liga. The secret of their success is teamwork and selflessness. It would be nice to have Benzema for more seasons because he has an outstanding personality and character. He always wants the young players to grow. The quality of the Real Madrid attack has further exposed the weakness of the Barcelona defense

This loss shouldn't be used as a yardstick to score the performance of coach Xavi. When an inexperienced coach plays against a team that has a legend as its manager, all his strategies would become unproductive.The match unveiled the technical masterclass of coach Carlo Ancelotti. He doesn't struggle to get that result because his experience and technical expertise outclasses the quality of Xavier Hernández. Robert Lewandowski has been having a good time in La Liga, he was just unlucky against Real.

[lizarder]

Betis have a good chance of catching up with Barcelona in the standings today. In order to do that, they need to beat the underdogs Cadiz. I think they will not let this opportunity slip away and pick up three points.

The opportunity to chase points is very possible, but in the next match Barcelona will also not waste the opportunity against Villareal, the defeat to Real Madrid and a draw against Inter Milan will be a big evaluation of Xavi's men, if in the next match they lose, then Barcelona will be further away from Real Madrid and Xavi is very uncomfortable with such conditions, given that there will be great demands on his coaching performance.

Similarly, I see Elche's match against Real Madrid. It should be an easy three points for Madrid.

While Real Madrid has the advantage in this match, Elche is not a balanced opponent for Real Madrid, from the nine matches that Elche has played, none of them has won.
While Real Madrid are in high confidence, last week's El Clasico result further motivated them to secure the three points, considering traveling to Elche is not a difficult game for them now.

Sevilla FC vs Valencia FC, there were many highlights in this match. 10 yellow cards, 1 red card, 10 player substitutions, 14 minutes of overtime and in minute 102 a penalty for Valencia that José Luis Gaya Pena missed. There were some very famous names playing yesterday: Cavani (scored a goal), Rakitic, Isco, Kluivert, Lamela (scored a goal) and a few others. Valencia now in 8th place and Sevilla in 11th place in La Liga. The game has more highlights than the el classico. Yesterday was the matchday of draw in Spain, 3 games = 3x draw.

It was a very active and somewhat tough match. In general, we can say that the tension of the game was high. We saw a lot of yellow cards, the last minute red card was very critical. There was no winner of the match due to the Valencia player missing a penalty.
Of course, it was not easy to take a penalty after such a tiring match, but Gaya missed a huge opportunity and could not get Valencia to win
