Barcelona could have won in the playoffs later, but the question is. what will Xavi apply, if he still doesn't fix his army. I'm sure Barcelona will find it difficult to meet Manchester United in the playoffs later.
Barcelona's performance is not stable yet. There are many star players in the team. However, Xavi is still struggling to stabilize the team. Barcelona is going to face Manchester United in the first match of the Europa League. Manchester United team is still not stable. Their performance is weaker than Barcelona's. And so I think Barcelona will probably be able to win against Manchester United. However, Xavi's main goal now is the La Liga title. However, Xavi will surely form his best squad in the Europa League matches.
If testing stability, then the stability of Manchester United and Barcelona is still in trouble. But that's exactly what we want to see, how are their preparations before they actually meet in the match later. They have not one or two weeks but months, so that should be enough to make them more stable and more prepared. I hope the biggest match of the play-off round did not disappoint, which meant that both clubs showed their abilities to the maximum and made the match very interesting. Because they are 2 big clubs that are expected to be the favorites for anyone who can move on to the next round in this European League. Xavi Hernandez and Erik Ten Hag will be tested in this match.
Both Barcelona and Manchester United clubs are now unstable. And the main goal of both is stability. And both clubs are spending a lot of money on it. Barcelona will certainly be looking to strengthen their defense in the winter transfer window. De Jong is also rumored to leave the club and join Manchester United. United management on the other hand is ready to spend big to strengthen their squad. And since the winter transfer window will see a lot of changes within the two teams, it is impossible to predict how they will perform in the Europa League.
