Barcelona's performance is not satisfying and I can bet you that even last season, when they won La Liga, it was all luck The real Madrid focus was on the UCL, and there was no other serious club that would compete with it. That is why I said Barcelona is doing well. Look at Barcelona during Messi and see how the club was all-flying their performance was extraordinary. and making the top 3 is not an achievement to me when others are busy looking for ways to win the trophy they are looking for Look at Manchester City last season, winning 3 trophies. That is what will be called an effort, not looking for ways to make the top 3, and we should not forget that Girona is there so second place will not be easy for them likewise.
There is no need to compare now Real Madrid, which had the opportunity to strengthen the team in the summer, and Barcelona, which spent the entire season without new transfers and, in addition, some important players, like Dembele, left the team.
Real Madrid's financial situation is much better, so they look better this season, Barcelona in a sense is trying to survive, I'm talking about finances, and in such conditions putting pressure on Xavi was a mistake. I’m almost sure that without Xavi it will be even more difficult for Barcelona, but now nothing can be done, they need to look for a way out of this situation.
