Barça depends on a miracle to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League and there are several to blame for this new possible debacle for the Barça team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona no longer depends on yes same to classify to the eighth of final of League of Champions. In addition to being forced to win to the Bayern Munich and to Viktoria Plzen, also will need that the Inter of Milan do not add of to three in front of the Czechs in the next date, something that seems complicated taking into account his exert during the tournament. Like this the things, this more than possible disaster has several protagonists that have gone back to put to the club to the door of the Europe League.

Xavi Hernández

The technician always will be the first signalled by the results of the team. The own Xavi recognises it openly and understands that the approach that has had in some stretches of the parties has sentenced the result. The first part in front of the Italians in Giuseppe Meazza and the second in front of the Bayern in Germany left a lot that wish, in addition to that some decisions in the alignment also have affected the performance of the staff.

Defensive errors

The saga is the sector that more vulnerable of the Barça and by far the one who more errors has committed. The commitment in front of the transalpinos in the Spotify Camp Nou is a sample of this, since the visitors did present in the marker by a deconcentration of Gerard Hammered in the first minutes of the second half. Added to this, so much fail them in exit like the little concentration during the mark have been two factors determinants in the last commitments of the Barcelona group.

The 'holy cows'

Although Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Hammered have been in the most glorious period of the institution, also is true that no everything is for ever. The years do not happen unobserved for the three captains and each day remain reflected like the feeblest links of the chain culé. They have not been to the height of the requirements of the season and his punctual errors have put in danger the continuity of the Barcelona in Champions, what will finish them happening bill in summer.

Excess of injuries

For anybody is a secret that the big quantity of injuries in the plantel have affected the consistency of the team. The stop FIFA left 'KO' to Ronald Araújo and to Jules Koundé, those who are fundamental in the defensive diagram of Xavi, whereas Héctor Bellerín fell in a training and has not been able to bend to Sergi Roberto by the right band. By his part, Andreas Christensen lastimó in the gone in front of the Inter and Frenkie of Jong could not be present by muscular problems, what subtracted depth to the medullary in an important party.

Although they are unlucky events, for many could be responsibility of a bad management of the medical services of the club, because it seems little usual that more than five footballers have fallen in the infirmary of the club during a so short period of time.

Little contribution of the forwards

Finally it subtracts the little efficiency of the attackers of the Barcelona. Further of the temporadón of Robert Lewandowski, neither Ousmane Dembélé neither Raphinha have appeared in the big stages during the campaign, what translates in imprecisions when defining of face to the arch and in bad takings of decisions. Neither Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres have showed a lot when have minutes, something that the sportive direction will have to take into account of face to the future.
