Just over a decade ago, Spanish football was in the midst of its greatest-ever era. Firstly under Luis Aragonés and then under Vicente Del Bosque, Las Rojas romped to back-to-back European Championships, with a first and only World Cup success sandwiched in the middle. And that success was built off the back of one club, FC Barcelona.

Back in 2008, Luis Aragonés led a new-look Spanish side to Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. Out went the old guard such as Real Madrid legend Raul and in came a wealth of younger technical players, including the likes of Cesc Fabregas and David Silva. But the jewel in the Spanish crown was of course the Catalonian duo of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

How successful will be Xavi's side this Season? Will they be able to remain at the top of La Liga when the Season draws to an end?

FC Barcelona had a rather confusing season so far this season. They strangely find themselves at the top of the La Liga summit during the winter break. It's been some time since they have become the winter Champions. But at the same time, they find themselves out of Europe's Most Prestigious Competition - UEFA Champions League; and that too in a rather disastrous fashion. And they also lost the First Clasico in a similar way against the Current Champions.

Despite all these most of the bookies have Barcelona as their top target to win La Liga this season. But in reality how good is Barcelona's odds of gaining silverware, that too the most prestigious one in Spain this season?

Barcelona joins Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in Group C, which is the Group to watch out for in this season's Champions League.

If Xavi was hoping to catch a break in his second year, all hopes were dashed with last night's Champions League draw. Barcelona has been drawn in Group C, which is considered the group of death in this season. Barcelona is joined by Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Viktoria Plzeň in the Group.

Barcelona is on the path of revival and this pairing ideally should not scare us. But in all honesty, we all were wishing for a lesser tough group. That would have eased the season, but now we have to be on our toes every moment. There is no room for complacency and mistakes in this Group for any side. Even the simplest of mistakes could cost dear.

Barcelona have confirmed the signing of the current FIFA Player of the Year, Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich for 45 Million.

Robert Lewandowski has finally become a Barcelona player, or at least once he completes the medical which is just a formality. This has to be the most high-profile signing Barcelona did in a couple of seasons.

This seriously improves Xavi's attacking arsenal. The Polich maestro guarantees tons of goals even if he may be on his way down. This also improves Barcelona's marketing image, which was lacking a star to pin their campaign on.

The Dutch Midfielder could be joining his former Manager at Manchester United soon.

With the arrival of Erik ten Hag in Manchester United, the future of Frankie De Jong at Barcelona was numbered. His potential transfer tothe Manchester side was a blessing in disuise for both the club, both struggling in the mess of their own making

As I explained in the last article, the exit of Frankie De Jong could be the most important task to be achieved at Barcelona in this transfer season. The financial situation of Barcelona is in such a mess that the only option of raising some money is to sell the beloved Dutchman. As per Online Sports Betting SG, the odds of Dutch man joining Man U is very high.

Xavi would have hoped for some reinforcement and a proper settling of his team. But the reality is quite different. Chaos could be the only constant at Barcelona!

What Xavi has done with this Barcelona side last season or half a season has been quite remarkable. Many pundits considered his appointment a foolish one. Others considered it a very risky move, especially from Xavi's point of view. He was given nothing new and inherited a very dysfunctional set of players and a team which was playing without any passion.

Xavi but did wonder with that kind of a team. The very fact that this team became a passionate one was a testimonial of what Xavi brought to the club - Identity and Passion. The results were secondary, and to some extent, everyone was surprised with Barcelona finishing second. Remember, we were thinking about not qualifying for Europe at all when he arrived!

Frankie De Jong looks like the only option Barcelona have got to raise money this summer. Even though it will complicate their plans, keeping him at the club this season may not be an option at all.

If necessity is the mother of invention, urgency is the uncle of change.Nell Scovell

Urgency, that's the catchword at Barcelona at the moment. Everything we do is driven not only by necessity but also by the "urgency of that necessity". It may sound confusing, but then confusion has been the state of Affairs in Barcelona for more than a year.

No Club has been hit hard by the Pandemic like Barcelona. From being one of the biggest powerhouses in World Football, Barcelona has been reduced to an average player on the global stage. Many of the fans and Club's supporters will blame the Pandemic, but in their inner self, they also agree that it was just a trigger. Everything that happened before it was the real cause of the rot.

One criticism that was levelled heavily against Xavi in his short span as a manager is that his team never won against a top team. He and his boys changed that spectacularly last night with a mind-blowing performance.


Xavi got his first victory against a top side at the Camp Nou with a 4-2 drubbing of Atletico Madrid last night. Goals from Alba, Gavi, Araujo and Dani Alves secured Barcelona the victory, which takes them to the top four in the table for the first time.

The performance lays rest to the many doubts people had about this team's ability to win big games and also to qualify for Champions League next season. The latest odds by sports betting Canada makes Barcelona a firm favourite to secure the Champions League spot. The new signings all did well, especially Traore who was playing with a purpose, something Dembele never managed to do in his entire career.
