  1. Barca wiped the floor with Madrid. I fell like the result actually flatters RM. the club needs new fullbacks badly as well as a RW because the predictability killed any chance they could have gotten. The cynic in me wanted Madrid to actually get an embarrassing result so they could wake up and realize they have been needing new signings for the past year or so. GG barca. I hate Gavi cuz he has a punchable face so don’t blame me for not giving him credit xp
    Pedri, on the other hand, is absolute class and a joy to watch.

  2. The key point was Rudiger make one big mistake and he killed the game. In front of that Courtois also shouldn't pass the ball to Rudiger when he just come back to the pitch after injury.

  3. Gavi was great… Pedri was Xavisque… Lewa is lewa( Bitch scored again)…

    But one guy who is killing day in day out is balde…
    Fcuk… That guy's run.. movement… Ball holding… I don't even know how to compare that guy and to whom…
    I haven't watched football much and only watch Games of Barca… Psg or United..

  4. Hey my suggestion is that at the end of tactical analysis you should do "what should have been done by THE LOSING team" like tactically or substitute a player. It would be great to hear from you as a manager

  5. Besides tactical superiority, the physicality of Barcelona's side was evidently superior, Real Madrid players looked like they couldn't run to save their grandmas from being hit by a bus.

  6. barcelona played like bayern!!!!!!!!! during the late 2022 i noticed how the 433 never worked for barcelona, specially in champions, but it seems like xavi now knows and recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the team and built a 4231 in the final!!!! just like bayern.

  7. Xavi knew how to control the match , because his players were combative enough, especially( Gavi) that boy did great. He seized every single chance that he attained, in other words Barcelone did deserve to beat its opponent.

  8. You should really take a look at Barca's 1-0 win vs Atleti. Xavi did some very interesting things in that first half that actually would have served as a warning to Ancelotti ahead of last nights clasico

  9. Also keep in mind that it should be 3:0 because the last goal was offside but the refs had to damage control this dismanteling.

  10. Hey mate, GREAT video! It’s pretty cool that you’re a one man team but I’m sure that’s also gotta be super stressful. If there’s a way I would be happy to help you create content as a part of your team!

  11. Xavis team on and off the ball were dominant, using a five man front line and constantly rotating the players around to draw the defenders out was a key part to them creating space which lead to chances on goal. Off the ball they stopped the oppositions side main ball progresser and this helped to reduce less attacks since they struggled to get the ball forward.

  12. Real over rely on aged players too much plus bench strength of ours compare to them is just ridiculous they also were more hungrier to win the cup than us. Absolutely disgusting and pathetic performance from us. Dip in form after World Cup is really bad tbh most probably will lose Copa tie against Villarreal as well
