Lewandowski is still the best striker, but he is old. In my opinion, it is better for Barcelona to sell him because he still has high value because by selling Lewandowski, Barcelona has the capital to buy other players. Moreover, currently Barcelona is still having financial difficulties buying new players to strengthen the squad next season.

In fact, there are several players in Barcelona's main squad who still have high selling value, perhaps one of them is Frenkie de Jong. He also had to be sold because he had been at Barcelona for five years and had not made a big impact at Barcelona. Maybe this is what Xavi has to do so that Barcelona continues to move forward, by selling several players and bringing in new players because they cannot just rely on young players like Vitor Roque and Marc Guiu. Thus, I am sure that next season Barcelona will be able to compete in Laliga and the UCL League.

It's not just Lewandowski that I think Barcelona should sell so that they have additional budget to hunt in the transfer market later, because if they want to continue to have stability then the price set by Frankie de Jong seems sufficient, Laporta must be aware of this situation. Something must be sacrificed for the future of the team. After Girona enters the race, they will definitely put pressure on Barcelona to continue to show competition. In the midst of Atletico Madrid's downturn this season, the target for next season is to try to be more aggressive. While Real Madrid has nothing to worry about as everything is stable, next season's finances and players will be much more daunting when Mbappe is official. Now it depends on whether Barcelona wants to continue like this or try to make changes by increasing several players from sales.

The match was like a friendly to Real Madrid, they knew losing the game would not cause them any harm as they have already secure the La Liga title ahead of Barcelona that are many points behind them. We also have to appreciate Villarreal for taking the opportunity that was presented to them to draw the game because it would had been a disgrace that a B team of Real Madrid won them with the margins of goals. A. Sørloth was the star of the match by scoring four goals and giving Villarreal a point. The points was not very important to Villarreal as it did not help them to qualify for champions league football but they did not lose to a weak Real Madrid side and this is what is important for their confidence playing the final game of the season and also coming into next season.

You think this is like a friendly match? But if you look closely, Villareal comeback was purely because Real Madrid were a little careless in defense due to feeling superior in the first half. With the score 3-1, of course Ancelotti took a little breath in the second half and let his players relax, especially when the second half started without realizing that the gap that was open was put to good use. Sørloth goal clearly made a lot of sense, breaking through 3 times in a row with the same gap not being covered properly. Real Madrid is sometimes careless and this is normal because the game does not always end well. The draw was deserved because after Sørloth scored 4 goals Madrid started to cover the gaps at the back.
