This match was finally won by Barcelona with a score of 1-3 and was marked by a red card received by the Barcelona striker in this match. Even though Barcelona overall game was not very good, they targeted victory and this was achieved with their hard work. So far, their ranking has been increasingly depressed in the standings table, But with their efforts in the two matches they managed to win, They have improved and are able to widen the gap with the teams below them.

Barcelona unlike last season, was full of enthusiasm and competed for the title, but this season they seem to have lost their best strength. Lewandowksi certainly makes a big contribution in every match and I think if lewandowksi leaves at the end of this season, Barcelona will certainly lose their goal machine which might have a bad impact on their front line.

I am happy with Barcelona's victory in this match, even though it is true that Barcelona should get full points if we refer to the ranking and depth of the team. however, this is due to Barcelona's unstable performance, plus the number of players injured. so it's natural that there are many doubts that Barcelona can perform with an impressive performance. in this match too, Xavi made slight changes to rotate his players. yeah, Xavi put Christensen as a midfielder. It's a little strange, sometimes I don't really understand what Xavi is implementing. but most importantly, Barcelona got full points in this match. at least, they are still safely in the top four of the standings.

but unfortunately, this victory over Alaves was marked by several players who seemed to have problems. for one thing, I don't know why Joao Cancelo was pulled off in the 47th minute. either because he has problems, or his performance is not good. actually, I didn't watch this match. but, I can find out based on the data and statistics of this match. plus, match highlights. apart from that, Gundohan was withdrawn in the 59th minute, apparently he also had a bit of a problem and was replaced by Vitor Roque. Well, this player started to find his rhythm, he scored Barcelona's second goal again. unfortunately, Roque was also given a red card. this will only worsen the problems Barcelona is facing. I hope IIkay Gundohan and Juao Cancelo do not suffer serious injury problems.

Talking about Barcelona last season and now, statistically Barcelona should be more competitive than last season. but the problem is, the situation is actually reversed. the poor performance of several core defensive players, Inaki Pena as a substitute goalkeeper whose performance is very doubtful. plus, the front line performance is very inconsistent in scoring goals. Speaking of Lewandowski, if he leaves in the end, I'm not sure Barcelona can get a pure sticker in return. I mean, a striker who is really established and can be relied on. So, as a Barcelona fan, I hope Barcelona will show their best performance again and so will Lewandowski.
