Many will be the criticisms that will receive the FC Barcelona and, especially, Ernesto Valverde after the painful defeat received to hands of the Real Betis this Sunday in the Camp Nou (3-4), the first in the Barcelona sanctuary of the season 2018-19. So much by been bulky -four goals marked the verdiblancos- as by unexpected, taking into account the halo of optimism that breathed in the team.
In spite of everything, the follower culé more objective knows perfectly that the FC Barcelona has enormous problems in defence this campaign 2018-19, but also is equally sabedor of an irrevocable reality: that, whatever happens, the Barcelona has left to the stop of selections of November like leader of LaLiga Santander 2018-19.
In a season in which all the big clubs -are of LaLiga or also of the foreigner- are 'puncturing' of usual way, the FC Barcelona is up to now the one who less has done it. Proof of this is that it keeps like leader of LaLiga, thanks to his spectacular 'hit' in attack, as it has seen that in defence follows 'sangrando', to day of today, by all the sides.

Against the Real Betis, the ones of Quique Setién took to the Barcelona defence desprovista of effective in several contragolpes, surpassing them in effective and, as it is logical, taking out split of this with the four marked goals.
The Barça knows what is what has to improve
Four goals that could have been more than not being by the stops of Ter Stegen and the fault of puntería of some players béticos. The question is that it is clear where has to put the focus the FC Barcelona to the hour to improve. But also it is necessary to take into account that what finish commanding is always the classification. And, for now, the Barça is still in the peak. No like others...
