In today's episode, Barcelona suffered a lackluster performance, losing to Almeria, which Xavi labeled as the team's worst of the season. Despite having over 70% of the ball, they lacked intensity, passion, and a game plan, only managing one shot on target. Barcelona's attack is a concern, with several players not performing, and they resorted to an unsuccessful tactic of firing crosses into the box. Xavi needs to find solutions to win all types of games, and his poor performance cannot be justified.

In today's episode, we dive into Barcelona's latest European elimination at the hands of Manchester United. Xavi had a disappointing European night despite a strong first-half plan against Manchester United, with his substitutions being criticized.

Another bright spot for Barcelona was Alejandro Balde, who is quickly becoming one of the best left-backs in La Liga. How are you feeling about the latest elimination?

We're talking about Barca's nail-biting match against Manchester United in the Europa League. Some fans are pointing fingers at Xavi's decision to rotate the defense and criticizing him for Barcelona's recent failures in European competitions.

In today's episode, Gabriel discusses Barcelona's victory last night as FC Barcelona beat Villarreal 1-0, securing their 11th straight win and moving 11 points clear at the top of the table. They have kept 16 clean sheets in 21 league games and conceded only seven goals. Pedri and Gavi had a great match, with Pedri scoring his 7th goal of the season. Ronald Araujo performed admirably, demonstrating his status as a top European defender; however, he will miss the next La Liga match. Lewandowski has looked a bit clunky as of late, but he contributed an assist to Pedri's goal. How are you feeling about Thursday's crucial European clash against Manchester United?
