The summit race between Barça and Madrid will continue. Barcelona didn't give Athletic Bilbao a chance yesterday. They passed with a clear score of 4-0. If we look at the statistics between the two teams, Barcelona managed to pass almost twice as much as Bilbao. They dominated the game from start to finish. Bilbao, on the other hand, tried to resist, but the 3 goals they conceded in the first half finished off all their motivation. There is a Barcelona following Real Madrid. I hope this race will continue until the end of the league.
Barcelona's victory over Atletico Bilbao was in the spotlight because it managed to score 4 goals without reply. Maybe with the defeat to Real Madrid, Xavi realized there were many things he had to improve on every line. With Villareal and Atletico Bilbao at all Xavi did not want to share the points. Against clubs other than Real Madrid, Barcelona looked very solid, and that was the only opportunity they took advantage of.
For the preparation for the Champions League, are the Barcelona players ready? at least not providing many goals for Bayern Munich. Although the chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very unlikely. Xavi only needs to maximize the player's performance so as not to repeat the big defeat in his 1st match with Bayern.

Xavi was able to bring Barcelona back to pick three important points. After thrashing Villareal 3-0 in the 10th week, El Barca again won 4-0 over Athletic Bilbao in the 11th week.
The big score is not just drawing the results, but the quality of Barcelona's game. The Blaugrana's game was so convincing, even more convincing than against Villareal.
Xavi's strategy this time deserves thumbs up. He no longer relies on skilled players in one position, but puts him in a different position. The result is a win with a big score is the result of an adaptive strategy. In addition, Dembele was also able to make a big contribution and his game was very prominent in this match.
For the Champions League I think they are finished, unless some miracle can ruin Inter Milan's chances. Xavi must take a valuable lesson due to failure in the Champions League. This season Xavi must focus on the domestic league, because after all he must win a trophy in the local competition this season.
