These are Xavi’s five concerns to face Osasuna:
Lack of aim
It is without a doubt one of the culprits that Barça is in this situation. The team creates chances and in some parts of the matches they even play a pretty decent game, but when push comes to shove, when defining, the light goes out for all the players. At this point one begins to wonder if it is a quality issue or is it really even something psychological, since players of the stature of Memphis Depay should not send to limbo so many times taking into account their quality.
The Osasuna at home is a cannon
The rojillos will create a hostile environment, as usual, in the Sadar. For Osasuna, playing in his stadium is like playing in the cathedral for Athletic club. A life insurance that allows them to fight the points against any rival in the world. This year, although they are now going through a difficult streak, they started the season at a very high level. We will see what Osasuna is Barça.
Doubts in defense
Against Bayern it was once again shown that the only center-back who is up to the task at the moment is Ronald Araujo. Everything indicates that the Catalan coach will return to a defense of four and the injured player will be Gerard Piqué. Eric García will return to the starting eleven and will be accompanied by the Uruguayan center-back. This should be the starting pair in the next matches.
Memphis, one month KO
Although he was not being important in the team, without Ansu Fati he is the player with the most goals by far. There are not more than two or three players in the league championship who by now have scored more targets. This injury leaves Barça with a very delicate situation in front of the door.
Morale on the floor
With the elimination in the Champions League, it may seem very difficult to get to this game with high morale, but it will be essential to achieve it to stand up to Osasuna. These three points are extremely important. Xavi must find the formula to motivate his players for the remainder of the season. It will not be easy at all.
