Barcelona achieved a spectacular victory over Real Betis with a result of 5-0, in a match where everyone shone.
The Catalans dominated a strong team like Real Betis, even though they have some important absences in the formation like that of Ronald Araujo or Pedro.
After the match, one fan pointed out that despite a great performance, the headaches only piled up for Xavi.
Here are the three ‘big headaches’ that, according to Neal Gardner, the Barca boss needs to deal with now:
1). What will be the pair in the center of the defense?
Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo – all outstanding.
2). Picking the starters in midfield?
Pedri, Gavi, Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gundogan and Frenkie de Jong. Three positions in midfield until there are five class midfielders.
3). Who will play as a striker on the right wing?
Ferran Torres, Raphinha or Yamal are competing for only one position.
“I think some players are indisputable, despite everything,” said Xavi.
“When they are able, Pedri, Araujo and one of FDJ/Gundogan will always be on the field. But we have finally got the quality depth of the team to mix and face”, said Xavi.
Who would you pick for each position if you were Xavi?
