Barcelona's consecutive defeats seem to have damaged faith in the team. Also, competitors are no longer afraid of them. Barcelona's defense has now shown its weakness. When analyzing rival teams, they work on their weaknesses well. It's a bad period for Barcelona. It would be a huge disappointment if they finished the league outside the top 4.
There is still hope or opportunity for Barcelona to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings. after all, the competition still has enough matches left to improve their performance. Plus, soon several of Barcelona's core players will soon return to training with the regular team. in particular, the main goalkeeper who is really needed by Xavi Hernandez's squad. because Inaki Pena really cannot be relied on, there are many mistakes he made according to my personal observation. Apart from that, there are also several second-tier players who are ready to return to the first team. at least, rather than relying on young players who really lack experience. What is certain is that Barcelona is still in the top four of the standings and has the same points as Atletico Madrid.
Well, this momentum actually proves Xavi's seriousness in bringing Barcelona to at least finish in the top four of La Liga. He has quite a tough task at the end of his tenure for Barcelona, as well as the club that made his name when he was still a player. Ideally, Xavi needs to work together with his team to achieve the best results before this season ends. in particular, put in a good performance in the Champions League. there is still time, Xavi must make the best of this opportunity. Barcelona has competitive depth, unfortunately they are not consistent when playing their matches. Injuries to several players, decline in performance, made Barca not what its supporters, including me, expected. We'll see how far Xavi can go before he actually leaves Camp Nou.
