i am quite concerned about barcelona's performance in the middle of this season, their defense is very bad, even their front line is not able to put much pressure on the opponent's defense, tomorrow barcelona will face osasuna, this is an important match because if they cannot win this match, big possible that barcelona's ranking will continue to fall to 5th position.

currently, barcelona is competing fiercely for 3rd place with atletico madrid, which also managed to get 44 points, while atletico's performance continues to improve.

Barcelona this season cannot be relied on, they seem to have lost their way after losing in a row. For me, Barcelona not only has player problems, but also coaching problems. Xavi did well to win La Liga last season but he has reached his ceiling. I don't think he can take Barcelona to the next level. When an entire team underperforms, this is usually down to coaching, so it's only natural that Xavi would want to step down at the end of the season.

Against Osasuna, maybe this will be a stepping stone to rise from adversity because the decline of a team like Barcelona doesn't need to be prolonged because they still have a target in the UCL League, even though that is impossible. Such is the case with La Liga but Xavi will have to work his way through to leave a good impression when he leaves Barcelona at the end of the season.

Barcelona not experience consecutive defeats, but only their performance declined and Barcelona front line seemed to be slacking not as strong as rivals such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. I think this was caused not only because of Xavi coaching but also because of Barcelona financial factors which caused all the players not to perform optimally and Xavi also couldn't buy players to improve Barcelona performance so Xavi couldn't maintain his performance like last season so it was only natural that Xavi gave up and decided to leave at the end of this season.

Barcelona should have been able to wins the match because it was more advantageous to play at home and Barcelona also had to evaluate their mistakes before being defeated by Villareal, but if you look at it in terms of performance, Osasuna has a better performance than Villareal and I think Osasuna will definitely take advantage of Barcelona negligence. Even so, I hope Barcelona wins this match so that they don't experience too much pressure from the fans and Xavi certainly wants to end this season with a good impression from both club members and Barcelona fans.
