Barcelona in transition. Painful experience

Well deserved Getafe win against FC Barcelona. The club from Barcelona is on the back foot.

Barcelona lost for the first time since Ronald Koeman took the club as the manager and it was well deserved win for Getafe. Koeman, the board and fans should be concerned, Barca are on the back foot, unable to create chances and it will not change overnight.

Getafe played with desire to win, I’m impressed that they were able to close down Barcelona every time they lost possession. Throughout the entire match, Getafe had Barcelona under control, Getafe were creative, imaginative, well organized, their football is based on work ethic and tactic. However, they are mid-pack team, not front runner and Barcelona were powerless to change dynamics of the game, despite Barca have more high quality players in the squad.

Barcelona need better midfielders and develop style of playing football. Back in late 2000s, they played tiki-taka football. Currently, they are completely dependent on individual skills of players, like Messi and Fati, and defense. Barca struggle to score, furthermore, they struggle to create chances, to pass the ball.

Moreover, Barca need the striker. They allowed Luis Suarez to leave the club and Antoine Griezmann is unable to take responsibility, he struggles to shot on target.

Barca need to go on the transfer market and find midfielders to sign. Without the quality, they will be even more dependent on Messi and Fati.

Barca and Real will meet in El Classico next weekend. Hopefully, Barca and Real will pick up the pace a bit. Otherwise, they will not win La Liga this year. Atletico and Sevilla my capitalize on woes of the largest clubs in La Liga.

Manchester United have been playing absolutely magnificently against FC Barcelona, setting the tone and pace from the very beginning of the game. Young Xavi, Puyol and also Enrique, Rivaldo, Figo, Anderson, Zenden, Giovanni were slightly subdued, bit on the back foot from the start, although they found the way to push Manchester United to limit and draw the game at the “Theatre of Dreams”. It is the game I will always remember. Classic Champions League fixture between absolute top teams in the European football. The highest quality, you can imagine. Counter attacks, crosses, one tou...
