One thing that can be understood from the recent match between Barcelona and PSG is that despite being equal in terms of ability, PSG was far ahead in terms of strategy.

I disagree: Barcelona are a great team, I love what they are doing, especially with all the La Masia players they have in the first team, but they are not a complete team because they are missing a great center back: right now they only have Cubarsí, who is incredibly good for his age but sometimes he also makes huge mistakes. I really don't know why they didn't push more to buy Bastoni, because with a 70 million offer Inter would have sold him. They spent a ton on money over the years but they never really made the effort to bring in a real defender.

PSG, on the other end, are a complete team, it's almost difficult to find a weakness.

I think you're right, the major issue they are having that's weighing the team down is lacking a proper center back to pair with Cubarsi. Cubarsi is a very young talent and at this age what he needs is to have an experienced pairing he can look up to and learn from. The mistakes he makes are normal for a young defender so we can't blame him. They just need to get an experienced defender to pair with him until he matures more and more. For now that's the major problem with this Barcelona squad, they have a good midfield and a great attack so adding a defender will make the perfect. Bastoni would have really solved that issue but they didn't push for him, maybe the price is kinda high for them.

PSG is by far greater than them, PSG is complete, have a great defense, midfield and attack and they have one of the best full backs in the world currently. Hakimi and Mendes are really adding alot to both the defense and attack.

I can't figure out what scared you so much. First of all, it’s *El Clásico*, even if the balance of power were heavily skewed (which I don’t see as the case), the result always tends toward equilibrium - not in the sense that the teams draw, but rather that either side is capable of winning, perhaps even by a 4-0 margin. Yes, Real (as always lol) is not in optimal condition, but in the past, even in this condition, Real won both the Champions League and individual games against Barcelona, I don’t see anything unusual in the current season. Atlético always scares me more than Barcelona.

~Mourinho with what his team are currently playing stands no chance against this Barcelona team, it's still true that anything can happen but it's a very big "what if"

Hehehe, time to return to this discussion 
See, there was nothing to worry about - just as I said, big matches turned out to be a completely different story for Barcelona compared to games against clear underdogs, in the end, both PSG and Real Madrid won. Real Madrid have easy games next - Racing and AEK, it will be especially disappointing to lose points after an important victory, I hope this does not happen. Barcelona has slightly tougher fixtures ahead, against Alavés and Aston Villa, though these are well-suited for licking their wounds following some big matches and prepare for the match against Atlético.

Cubarsí should not be called a weak defender just because he has some mistakes. He is very young and the way he is playing for Barcelona at this age is appreciable. It is unrealistic to expect a defender to never make mistakes. Sometimes the best experienced and older defenders in the world make mistakes when dealing with the pressure of a match, and these are part of the game. The main thing is to pay attention to how a player learns from his mistakes and improves over time. Cubarsí has ​​the ability to play with the ball, he can make cold decisions during the game and start attacking from the bottom of the field, this is his great quality. I think he needs an experienced center-back next to him now. Because he is at the beginning of his career. It is not easy to play at such a young age in a big club like Barcelona. So before criticizing him, we should look at his age, talent and performance. Because I think Cubarsí has ​​a lot of room to improve. If he gets the right guidance, he can be one of the best defenders in the world in the future.

The transition of defenders between the core and reserve players does have a gap for now for Barcelona because after the loss of Christensen, Alex Garcia and Kounde, their center back and right back are exhausted and even Xavi Espart must be forced at left back even though his ideal position is at right back.

Gerard Martín as the tandem of Cubarsi is still quite good but compared to Christensen he still lacks playing time so he still looks less able to play more optimally which makes Cubarsi like having to guard himself.
Injury problems are hard and that's understandable so I don't feel strange when their performance is a bit down for now even though they lost to some big clubs like PSG in the Champions League and Madrid in the domestic league but when some defenders come back from injury then chances are they will be even more solid even though as a rival fan I don't really expect it especially in the domestic league

Yes, with Eric Garcia and Christensen currently injured, I think the club needs an experienced center back to partner Cubarsi, joules kunde haven’t also been in good shape so far this season even though he’s been mostly deployed back to the center back position still, his form hasn’t been that great. I think the decision to let Ronald Araujo leave for Liverpool during the summer is beginning to look like a wrong decision, But it was because of this same Cubarsi that made Barcelona let Ronald Araujo leave for Liverpool during the summer, I’m quite surprised that after just few loses to PSG and Real Madrid everyone is beginning to say that Cubarsi isn’t good enough.

Barcelona can consider themselves unlucky in this respect, whenever their team needs strength, their defenders are injured and out of the field. I think Hansi Flick should now come out with a different strategy, one where the defenders are not under too much pressure. We can blame the defense for the defeat against PSG and Real Madrid, but I think they still had a chance to win.

Their attacking line has a problem with finishing. Look at PSG's match statistics, 14 out of 20 shots were on target. Barcelona also took the same number of shots, but they only had 9 shots on target. The same thing happened in the Real Madrid match, they can't even keep 50% of their shots on target. I think they should keep at least 70-80% of their shots on target. No matter how good a goalkeeper is, if you take 10 shots on goal, at least 2-3 goals will be scored very easily. If you mark Barcelona's striker, it becomes difficult for them to score goals, because the finishing of the rest of the players is very poor.

If he gets the right guidance, he can be one of the best defenders in the world in the future.

Spanish player Pau Cuberci should not be considered a weak defender just because he makes some mistakes as it may have been observed by everyone that he performed brilliantly for Spain in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, and if I'm not mistaken, he was voted the best young player in this World Cup due to his excellent performance in the spinner defence and kept clean sheet in almost every match. Even it must be admitted that the way he has been performing for Barcelona is commendable, but in the first El Clasico  match of the season, cubarshi had a bit of a poor performance as he had a 5.0 rating in that match.

But the main point is that Barcelona missed many opportunities in this game, as a result of which Mbappe was able to touch the milestone of 100 goals for Real Madrid by scoring a pair of goals in that match. We can assume that Barcelona team has the best attacking bug and the best midfielder at the moment but they need more mature defenders in their team, as a result it seems that this team will be able to become more mature in the upcoming matches.

It's understandable that Arsenal failed last season because they finally reached the final after such a long time. The pressure may have affected the players' mentality a bit, causing them to lose focus. But this season, I'm confident Arteta will introduce some tactical changes, and their squad hasn't changed much. So if Arsenal can reach the final again, I think their chances of winning will be even higher.

Compared to their last time in the champions league finals, if they make it to the finals also this season, then they will show us a better performance than they’ve shown in the past. Arteta and all of those players are just having their first experience in the champions league finals, the atmosphere, the fans, the ovation in the stadium and anxiety are all what they’re just experiencing for the first time. I think this may have affected their performance a bit. Reaching another finals will mean them showing a much better performance and we will see a better result than what we saw in them the last time they played in the champions league final against PSG.

If Arsenal can be able to reach the Champions League final again this season, they will definitely win it because they have learned from their mistakes, I must say because they have signed another defender that is more aggressive and has been performing really well since William Saliba got injured, and if you can remember, Saliba was injured at the Champions League final and Christian Mosquera that replaced him committed a faul that lead to a penalty which was how PSG leveled up before been lucky to defeat Arsenal in the penalty kick. Now with Konsa, I think Arsenal can defend their goal if they have one just as they did in the finals.
Arsenal's player mentality has improved now, they now have good and experienced players that can read and change games, I think with the way they have started this season, they can go that far because I think the team is still complete despite the fact that some of the players are injured, and I am very sure that Arsenal will try to bring some players to support the attack in the January transfer window.

Arsenal may have reached the final for the first time, but they came very close to winning it. If they build on this approach and manage to reach the final again this year, they will know exactly how they need to play. They could win the trophy this year.

Hmmm, that's true.......!!!

Overall Barcelona is good team with the alliance of La Masia graduated but here just like you say that their objective issues is in defensive line like they didn't have any quality center back. Literally the departure of Martinez was an lacking loops and even right now Garcia was making little sense but unfortunately he also got injured......

IMO against PSG Barcelona was intensely looking for defensive support but unfortunately they couldn't maintain the inefficiency and ultimately it's draw on to the big margin lose. Barcelona attack was already on hell of run at this season like they were unstoppable but unfortunately in PSG match they lose their courage due to defensive weakness and it's twist the toes of Barca.

So the recap is this..... Barca need defensive signing

This season also has that possibility. Arsenal has been able to maintain their consistent performance although the team has not won all the matches. They have won 7 out of 8 matches in the Premier League and lost one match in the Champions League. I am pretty sure that the team will be very close to winning the title and will have the possibility of winning the trophy because they will correct themselves by using the previous experience. Arsenal's opponent Liverpool in the next match in the Premier League and Slavia in the next match in the Champions League should win both of these matches because Arsenal is the favorite.

Cubarsí should not be called a weak defender just because he has some mistakes.

Did you even read what I wrote? Literally the first thing I said was "Cubarsí, who is incredibly good for his age", that phrase should be pretty self explanatory, don't you think? How you can turn that into "you said Cubarsí is a weak defender" is a mystery to me.

He is very young and the way he is playing for Barcelona at this age is appreciable. It is unrealistic to expect a defender to never make mistakes. Sometimes the best experienced and older defenders in the world make mistakes when dealing with the pressure of a match, and these are part of the game.

Where did I say he can't make any mistake? Of course he is going to make mistakes because central defender and goalkeeper are the most delicate roles for young players because if you make a mistake there is a high chance to concede a goal. That's why Cubarsí would really benefit from having an experienced defender next to him. It's basically what happened when Piqué had Puyol next to him: his performances were better; once Puyol retired he wasn't as good as before.

If you mark Barcelona's striker, it becomes difficult for them to score goals, because the finishing of the rest of the players is very poor.

Barça's problem is in defense; they need to do something quickly to adjust. Cubarsi can't handle everything. The last goal was his fault; he didn't defend well and let a skillful player make that move.

This is a very hard blow for everyone, three points they let slip away. Madrid didn't score more because they couldn't connect properly, but if they had done everything better, I'd say Barça would have conceded four or five goals. They were lucky to escape, but Flick needs to improve.

Yes Arsenal are a very strong team and Arsenal have been able to maintain their consistent position this season as well as last season. However, one thing I am worried about is Arsenal's attacking part. If we look at last season and if we look at this season, I don't think Arsenal's attacking part has been as successful this season as it was last season. If they can take their attacking part to a higher level, then we can definitely say that Arsenal have a much higher chance of winning the trophy than any other team.

See, there was nothing to worry about - just as I said, big matches turned out to be a completely different story for Barcelona compared to games against clear underdogs, in the end, both PSG and Real Madrid won. Real Madrid have easy games next - Racing and AEK, it will be especially disappointing to lose points after an important victory, I hope this does not happen. Barcelona has slightly tougher fixtures ahead, against Alavés and Aston Villa, though these are well-suited for licking their wounds following some big matches and prepare for the match against Atlético.

In the current situation, Real Madrid has finished facing difficult situations, but Barcelona could not do it, rather they will lose and face very difficult teams in the next match. Because no one can think that Barcelona will perform very well, all gamblers will be in doubt and will be afraid to bet on the Barcelona team.
But see if Real Madrid performs well in future matches, there will still be confidence, because Real Madrid has already survived in difficult situations and has been able to fight well. So I definitely have the courage to bet on the next match of the Real Madrid team, because the Real Madrid team is able to perform well in difficult situations and can prove their perfect ideas correctly.

Don't call any games easy, it could become their worst nightmare if they are not careful and I will not judge Barcelona and Real Madrid by the opponents they faced next or the victory they would have, in big numbers, in various tournaments, but by the actual results if they meet again. I never believed that Real Madrid could beat Barcelona last week, yet it happened. We can try to speculate by their perceived strength but the reality is that other factors like luck and unforseen circumstances also plays their roles in the world of football.

PSG seems to be the favorite to win again, especially after their last match against Barcelona. Do you also favor PSG to win the title this season? Who do you think has the greatest potential to win this season?

PSG's next UCL match will be against Villarreal, but we don't know who will win that match because football is always full of surprises. However, I think PSG has a high chance of winning that match because PSG's current strength is truly great, which is why Barcelona lost. Who do you think will win, and what will be the score?

Villarreal had an impressive performance against Manacor in the first round of the Copa del Rey. Villarreal won the match with a goal difference of 5-0. Although Manacor was a weak opponent, Villarreal won easily. If you analyze the team's recent good performance, they should show a good performance against PSG as their next opponent. But the team that won against Barcelona with a goal difference of 4-2 in the last match may seem unbeatable.

Actually, I will not directly say in favor of PSG because there are many more matches left in the tournament. At this time, if we analyze the form of each team, PSG is the most advanced team and there is no doubt about it, but it is not yet time to say which team will win the trophy.

It cannot be said for sure which team will win, but the favorite team PSG and the goal difference in the match will probably be 1-3 because Villarreal's defense is not that strong.

Compared to their last time in the champions league finals, if they make it to the finals also this season, then they will show us a better performance than they’ve shown in the past. Arteta and all of those players are just having their first experience in the champions league finals, the atmosphere, the fans, the ovation in the stadium and anxiety are all what they’re just experiencing for the first time. I think this may have affected their performance a bit. Reaching another finals will mean them showing a much better performance and we will see a better result than what we saw in them the last time they played in the champions league final against PSG.

In my opinion, Arsenal actually had a chance to win the UCL last season because their performance was pretty solid and very strong. Even in the UCL final against PSG they performed quite well, but they struggled to score goals, which eventually led to a penalty shootout, and PSG's win in the penalty shootout was just a matter of luck.

Arsenal performance this season is still strong, but the problem is that other teams will also be stronger this season. So the chances of Arsenal making it back to the final aren't easy they have to face more challenges than last season. But if Arsenal does manage to reach the final, they will most likely become champions because they've learned from last season, and their mentality for playing in finals has also been tested. Arsenal just got knocked out of the Carabao Cup, which means their schedule has gotten lighter, and Arteta should take advantage of this to focus on the remaining competitions.
