Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

Another problem is Injuries.
We know that when they were knocked out of the Champions League their form in the Champions League and La Liga faltered because they lost 4 core players in midfield and defense.
Xavi is good at coaching, but he still can't balance rotations so when their core players don't play Xavi gets overwhelmed and can't perform all out as usual.

Xavi's problem is going to look much bigger for now in this January 2023 when he finds out that he cannot integrate another player into his team because he knows that the team does not have that much money, and that he has to work with the ones he has, although for me that is not a bad thing, only now it is what I can speculate, in any case, I have to wait, I don't know if Barceloa's plans are to sell some players so that they have sufficient capitalization, the economic problems are something that He stopped this team from everything, and one of Barcelona's mistakes was that Xavi chose everything, and each one of the managers trusted him and it hasn't given results, for me it's a pity, because Barcelona is one of the best teams they have in the League.

I think Xavi understood - Azpilicueta discloses how he rejected Barcelona

I actually don't know much about their finances now, they are often talked about always having financial problems but their spending this season is really crazy and it's not fair to say they have financial problems because of their determination.
At the moment they will prioritize free players, Azpilicueta was one that was always linked with Barcelona in the previous season but in the end he extended the contract but still did not rule out Barcelona chasing him moreover they still need a defender especially Pique has also left now.

There is something that caught my attention, for the World Cup in Qatar one of the teams that gave the players the most was Barcelona, so is this showing that they are well despite being in great need? Or is it that they really have to cover many things, but that they don't want others to know? That is something that is difficult, but nevertheless I still do not understand the Barcelona boys, nor do I know what plans Barcelona have for this new transfer window, I know that many teams are already interested in some players, and well, Barcelona I'm sure they have their eye on one or another player.

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.

Barcelona are looking for a player in defence for sure especially there are some rumors about Alba and Busquets leaving and that means this is the last player to make the golden era go whole after Pique previously decided to retire and they really have to do that but it's also a little difficult if they keep pushing their dying money away.
On the other hand, for De Jong, I'm actually quite bored with his reporting, so in this case I won't really care about it because this always creates a lot of drama and I don't really like dramas like this.

In particular, I see the situation of Barcelona as very uphill, they have many problems, the only thing in which they are doing very well is in the League, but as for other things, they are going a bit further, there is speculation that Lewa wants to leave Barcelona, Others criticize that Lewa has to remain without playing for at least 3 games, I don't know if this sanction applies to play the UCL, and since they have to play against Manchester that will be something very interesting for the game, because I see that both teams are in decline, one due to the fault of a coach and the other because he honestly did not take advantage of all the players they had, and I clearly think it is XAVI's fault.

And for the Europa League they want to have a very good file:

FC Barcelona are now reportedly in advanced talks to sign Chelsea midfielder NGolo Kante, who is believed to be a target for Arsenal ahead of the January transfer window.

According to Sport, Xavi Hernandezs side are working fast to secure a deal to sign the France international, with Kantes contract set to expire at the end of this season as a move to Barcelona now looks very likely for the Chelsea star.

Foot Mercato previously reported that Arsenal were interested in signing Kante alongside Antonio Contes Tottenham. However, it now appears that Barcelona will win the race for the two-time Premier League champion in 2023.
