Gundogan scored just 4 minutes into the second half to give Barcelona a 2-0 lead. But in just 2 minutes, Barcelona conceded another goal. Barcelona's defenders must perform very carefully. Barcelona is losing points in most of the matches because of the weakness of the defense. Barcelona needs to strengthen the defense. Youngster Vitor Roque scored in the 63rd minute to give Barcelona a 3-1 lead. Barcelona will probably get 3 points in this match. However, Barcelona's overall performance needs further improvement. In particular, they need to strengthen their defense more.
After they had to go through a tough week because of that loss against Villareal, which honestly was hard to believe for everybody who saw the game I guess, but it was raining criticism on all fronts and it was justified because Barcelona gave that game away quite carelessly. However, it was no exception and Barcelona is far from being stable this season. They lack the cleverness and the calmness to use their goal for their own advantage and then exert pressure against the ball or keep it within their team for the most time. But Barcelona doesn't have enough offensive power to bind the opponent to their own defensive zone. There is too much counter-attacking and Xavi never found an effective way to balance that out.
