Barcelona have a chance to be champions at the end of the season, they have gotten better since they had some new players. Xavi has done the best job so far, he has to maintain the quality of Barcelona game to always be at the same level. The match against Mallorca wasn't that difficult for Barcelona, although playing away at the Iberostar Stadium didn't discourage Barcelona players as they have proven capable of bringing home points away from home.
The problem now is that some of Barcelona's important players have been injured during the international break and the most unpleasant is Araujo's injury. De Jong is also reportedly injured which in consequence Barcelona will lose his midfielder in the upcoming match.
I know Mallorca may not be a strong opponent, but I don't want Barcelona to underestimate them. Mallorca are playing at home, so maybe they will be more motivated to play well in front of the crowd. In this match, I hope that Barcelona will have no trouble getting 3 points from Mallorca to maintain their consistency in Laliga.
I think everyone has been talking so much about how Barcelona's poor talent pool or 2nd lineup in case of 1st lineup got injuries. So far, I haven't seen Xavi try to address this. It's very important to keep your club in the top form for both in La Liga league season and other leagues like the Champion or Europa League, maybe even now as World Cup coming and players got called to the national team. More intense schedule for players, less time to rest and recover from the match.
Shore up the main or 1st lineup but forget about backup, 2nd lineup. This kind of mistake cost a lot of clubs their chance to earn a double Cup.
