"This Barça is not the same as last year. It is true that they have important injured players, but their way of playing means that they need fast and skilful players to be able to overcome the opponent's lines and generate more scoring chances,"
"They must play faster and more vertical football and this is not being achieved now. The greatness of this team depends on the rapid circulation of the ball and, without Pedri, everything is more complicated."
"Barça are generating clear scoring chances despite not playing as well as last year, but Barça are struggling to be effective."
Barcelona are not the same as last year because of several important injuries. The team's playing style requires fast, skilful players to penetrate opponent lines and create scoring opportunities. Faster, more vertical football is necessary but currently not being achieved. Rapid ball circulation is central to the team's effectiveness, and the absence of Pedri has complicated possession dynamics. Injuries have reduced the squad's ability to maintain high-tempo patterns and to exploit spaces between defensive lines. Barcelona continue to generate clear scoring chances despite a drop in overall quality, but the team is struggling to convert those chances into goals.
