3-3! Can't win at home against the relegation team! Barcelona don't want to lose face!Fans: Xavi go now
At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 12, the 24th round of the 2023-23 La Liga season ushered in a key battle: the defending champion Barcelona hosted promoted Granada.
Today's Barcelona, Mo said that he defended the title, and he could only keep the Champions League qualification. In the first game of this round, after Real Madrid swept Girona 4-0 at home, 24 games accumulated 61 points to lead the La Liga standings, and the lead over Girona expanded to 5 points, Barcelona ranked third with 50 points in 23 games, and Real Madrid has been left behind by 11 points.
Granada is a promoted team, currently deep in the relegation zone, 23 games, 2 wins, 6 draws, 15 losses, 12 points, second to last in the La Liga standings, behind the relegation zone, 17th 8 points, the end of the season, is likely to go back from where it came from.
Although playing at home, the strength is far above the opponent, but now Barcelona, it is not sure to play such a team.
Not long ago, Liverpool's meritorious manager announced his departure at the end of the season, and soon after, Xavi also announced his departure at the end of the season, but with the same move, the situation is very different.
Liverpool currently have an excellent record, with the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League remaining in contention, and the Premier League has been leading the table recently.
Barcelona's recent record is bad, after losing to Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey is out again, La Liga has dropped the chain, Xavi said his decision to leave at the end of the season after losing 3:5 at home to the weak team Villarreal in the 22nd round of Barcelona La Liga, conceded 5 goals at home, such a fiasco, Barcelona has never had anything to do with it, the last time he lost so much at home, it was against Real Madrid, Xavi was not born at that time.
If Klopp is a Shih Tzu, then Xavi's typical Shih Tzu is a good example!
Yes, Barcelona started the 433 formation, Lewandowski, Pedri, and Yamal formed a forward trident, midfielders Gundogan, Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, four defenders Cancelo, Inigo, Cubasi, Kounde, and goalkeeper Ter Stegen. The starting eleven is worth a total of 450 million euros.
The total value of Granada's starting eleven is only 44.4 million euros, which is less than a fraction of Barcelona's. But playing such a team at home, Barcelona is also extremely difficult.
In the 14th minute, Cancelo picked up a pass in the penalty area, and Yamal scored the goal. Barcelona leads Granada 1-0.
In the 43rd minute, Pellistri sent in a cross from the right, Cancelo couldn't break it, and Sanchez stepped in to score it. Granada tied the score at 1-1.
In the 61st minute, in the face of Granada's cross, Cubasi was not far away, Uzuni crossed the ball in front of the goal, and Pellistri scored an empty goal. Granada beat Barcelona 2-1.
In the 64th minute, Gundogan made a wonderful pass, and Lewandowski scored the goal. Barcelona 2:2 Granada.
In the 66th minute, Mausa made a wonderful pass, and Miquel scored with a header. Granada 3:2 Barcelona.
In the 80th minute, Yamal steals Callejon and hits a world wave. Barcelona scored the equalizer.
Barcelona has accumulated 51 points from 24 games, still ranking third in the La Liga standings, 10 points behind the leader Real Madrid.
Even a promoted team at home, a team in the relegation zone can't win, as a manager, what level are you?
