      Coming from a Barca fan, I think from now on anytime we want to visit the washroom, we need to ask permission from Madrid or ask permission from their subordinate LALIGA

      My secret sources say that Papa Perez is having dinner with his minion Javier Tebas right now.. They are deciding on how to hand Madrid LaLiga title, yet again

      Many can argue that he's still nowhere near his best right now but at least he's scored 6 goals this season and Robert Lewandowski being out for a certain period of time is a massive blow for Barcelona. In order to cope without him, Barcelona will most likely play either Ferran Torres or Joao Felix down the middle and he doesn't have a like for like replacement (Victor Roque will arrive in January), at least they have players who can play as a number 9 in his absence. Just like Real Madrid and other top clubs in Europe, injuries are gonna eventually hinder Barcelona's season as the problems have continued as Pedri Frenkie De Jong Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are out currently and Ronald Araujo had to spend some time on the sidelines, in midfield they have Gavi Romeu Ilkay Gundogan and Femin Lopez, and offensively with no Lewandowski and Raphinha, there's Ferran Torres Lamine Yamal and Joao Felix and what Xavi might do is move Gavi further forward play Torres on the right or the middle, or Yamal on the right and Felix on the left or the middle and the options are limited but the only positive from Barcelona despite losing some key players is the versatility they have in some players like Gavi Torres Felix but it's true their squad depth will be massively tested in the next couple of weeks until those players come back to fitness.

      Barcelona right now have such a well drilled and balanced squad and there's a lot of talent on paper, so much quality, youth and experience and have good players in almost every position in the starting lineup and some depth as well assuming everyone's healthy, but the only issue has been injuries and as they cannot keep players fit it seems like of late in every game there's an injury Celta Vigo it was Frenkie De Jong Sevilla Raphinha and in the Porto game Robert Lewandowski and I think this team can win La Liga again and even if at times their defense has been conceding more than last season it's solid enough to concede less as the season progresses and they're a better team when players like Frenkie De Jong Ronald Araujo Robert Lewandowski and Pedri are on the field and those are very crucial players for Barcelona. Even with those injured players and the team not always looking at their best at least they've found ways to get results and they can win La Liga again and also have a very deep run in the champions league and the success this Barcelona team could potentially have this season depends on the fitness of certain players.

      Injuries are not an excuse, we have to win all those games. This Barca squad knows how to play when players are injured, I think we'll win all 4 of next games 🤞
