Everyone can see through Real Madrid except the manager himself. This shows what kind of manager Ancelotti is. The player’s individual brilliance has been saving his career while he enforces Cross n Inshallah tactics. Props to Xavi for saving Barcelona’s sinking ship.
even last season you could tell they where not good enough. every champions league game they where getting dominated and conceded. individual brilliance to comeback in those games saved his job because each game they where the worse team.
Exactly, as a Real fan I can give probs to Xavi for doing so well, but I also can't state enough how basically every team does this against us.
People put this win solely on "Xavi having a masterclass" but not really focusing on Madrid just being bad tactically and on player output.
The amount of times I see questionable tactics or a player messing up a simple pass is extraordinary. So probs to Barcelona, but really I feel like we are our worst villain
Cross n inshallah 😂😂😂😂😂
@@dagotowka9191 what's wrong with being tactically defensive team and letting your offensive players doing there things.
There's a reason why Ancelotti he won last and why he a goat manager...
@@McBigP13 What part of being a tactically defensive team includes conceding 5 to city in the semis, 4 vs chelsea in the quarters and 2 vs psg before that.. each game they had less chances, less possession and got lucky to go through.
I'm just laughing my lungs out to the real madrid fans that keep saying they lost the match because of the referee and var🤣🤣
Wheres the lie tho
@@curtlouw6120 cry me a river.
@@curtlouw6120 🤣🤣🤣
@@curtlouw6120bro it was miles offside
@@d1v2dd1rk9 thats why. VAR helped or else it would of been a dumb human mistake cause they allowed the goal to begin with. Asensio was clear offsides AFTER the review
"They're not our rivals. They're closer to Atletico, betis and Sociedad than they're to us"
Ancelloti☕️
Who said that??
Who said that? LOL
@@forests.9597 ancelotti said that previous season
@@arin4410 did you not read the reply
The summary of the recent clasicos, " Real Madrid can have more procession of the ball, but they find it really hard to create chances from it as Barcelonas press and shape has gotten better over the season "
Barca shape has improved so much from earlier in the season
actually they didnt have more possesion in last game
RM had more possession than Barca only in one occasion 😅 (copa game) dafaq u smoking?
But barca still a shit in UCL and europa lol... Madrid still kicking ass in UCL.. level of difference
Not because of that
To stop Madrid just stop vini put 2-3 players on him so that he cannot even pass
Then you win easily
Because others are crap at carrying the ball for more than 10 yards
And this is a fact now
You'll often see when we can't bteak the defence with passes we give it to vini so he can do a miracle 😑
Also we attack 80% of the times from left wing hence one dimensional
De jong was excellent in this game ! I dont know if you noticed but in the first goal the lay off for roberto was very well put by de jong in the tight space , didn't hurry by taking an unnecessary shot .
He laid it off for raphina didnt he
@@mpownage4806yes but raphi’s shot deflected, landed back with Frankie then he put it on a plate for Roberto
@@barc533 frenkie didnt even touch the ball before roberto hit it….. he dodged the ball
@@mpownage4806 my mistake, I just rewatched it, you’re right.
Your analysis is a breath of fresh air. I was frustrated by a lot of mainstream pundits saying both teams were equal. Especially cos the stats show otherwise.
Madrid’s goal and offside do show the one weakness this Barca team has though. We need that Bayern solid UCL type performance. 3-4 quality signings for squad depth would help.
Let’s take some time to appreciate how much this Barca team have grown as a unit under Xavi. Incredible!
4-0
Dude, you deserve way more subscribers, your analysis videos are amazing!
Thanks, much appreciated :)
I really liked this analysis. You showcased out a lot of points that a lot of us didn't pick up on (eg: pressing triggers). The effort that goes into these videos is noticeable and is appreciated
Glad you enjoyed :)
I still don't understand why Ancelotti played with modric AND Kroos and thus bet on having possession against Barça in Camp Nou. That's just suicidal.
I really loved sergi Roberto huge gale between the lines and in the press. And the new role of Raphinha in the half space, with Araújo quite high when Barça had the ball
We're the Champions of SPAIN 💙❤️💙❤️

@@jonathana6943 sorry but it would be a miracle for real madrid to catch up now. 12 points clear babyyy
I’m new to football but this was one of the coolest things I’ve taken in so far. I picked barça just because of a documentary I watched and I was looking for a team to pick. I’ve learned so much along the way and your videos have been a great tool for that. This one in particular helped things click for me a ton, love seeing this sport from all angles.
Great to see more and more people becoming culés
I became a FCB fan because of FIFA 10. I'm glad it happened
Welcome to the cules family, bro. ❤❤
I hope Barça gives you a lot of happiness as it gave us! Welcome my friend! Visca el Barça !
Awesome bro, Barça truly displays the beauty of football
Kounde is a master of defense, especially in ground defense he can carry the ball like Dejong while moving forward and has decent dribbling skills as well Christensen is Speedy Tall Aerially does some good clearances also loves to move forward with the ball he has good shooting skills as well basically Barcelona has a defense who wants to attack insane mindset
Ya barca defense is strong as back as 7 years ago. They need good wingers now
@@nobodygg7314 like dembuzeee .....
Vammooo
@@nobodygg7314 Raphinha Dembele is good at right wing even that ferran playing well when he drifted on right side we don't have a left promising winger fati got struck somewhere
They're like Pique
@@Pragmaticboy527 probably a young pique
Dude, at this point I'm convinced you are a Data analyst for Xavi using an alias. This is honestly brilliant content
Xavi is setting the team in a way that they always would lift laliga and maybe smaller trophies.
Champions league is not a thing he is hoping to get.
He needs a team who is first dominating the league always and after that success he will think about champions league ❤
What? Next season xavi said that he promise we will come back stronger for UCL
@@shaquillethomas1544 he said they would be stronger, but not winning it.
Champions league would be his only second option winning cause he knows he needs to dominate the league and create a solid team then only they could win the champions league.
There's nothing wrong with that.
@@cibywilson7844 this! the team is doing great currently little by little adapting to their role and starting to play from memory everyone is slowly maybe slower than i would like but lacking key pieces like pedri and dembele might have some to do with it. The first thing u notice is the phisicall aspect how everyone is running for the 90 mins this shows a lot about our current situation first of all we are well prepared and they all believe in what they are doing and with that we got back one of barcelona´s trademarks that we lost when the old guard had more authority than the coach the high press
@@agssilv5919 that's true, but the mentality of the team should improve much better to compete in champions league. We should be winning with more goals than 1 or 2 and become so far dominant in league like we used in 2010's to 15's and we should find permenent replacements for busi, Roberto, and older players.
Even it takes time time be it.
But not winning the league is out of the question for Xavi.
That's why I told Xavi needs a dominant team with champion mentality for 2 or 3 years in the league to get to champions league final's.
@@cibywilson7844 no need for replacements we just need a Rb and a young promising striker to learn from lewandoski and eventually take over. I say we give fati time if not we’d also need a new lw or use dembele out of position since raphina has been in good form.Abde has also been in good form out on loan give him a chance or cash in on him since he’s attracting interest. Gavi frenkie pedri the future and present of the mid. Busquets can stay if he cuts his wages down majorly same with Alba, I would use them as substitutes same as we did with Iniesta and xavi in they’re last years. Kessie in the mix and giving youngsters a chance as substitutions. If Xavi gets a left footed cb that he so desperately wants I’d sell both alonzo and Eric. If ferran doesn’t show up let him go. If we get a new RB and Julian Araujo shows out id say cash in on Roberto but xavi loves him since he can play in a shit load of positions.
Great video! Thank you for the analysis. Really feel Carlo underestimates Xavi and his frustration after his losses have been telling of a normally cool and calm master manager.
It's crazy how we saw two different identities in the last two Clásicos from Barcelona. First leg of Copa Del Rey they played like Atlético Madrid(who remembers the second leg vs Liverpool). In the league game at home they played like prime Liverpool. Xavi is cooking a different gravy for El Clásicos.
You've earned a new sub, you break it down in a way that makes it easier to understand. Looking forward to watching new content like this. :D
That ad transition was nicely done haha and brilliant analysis as always!!
Love your content: you are able to combine simplicity, clarity and thoroughness whilst using stills, visual aids and video footage to facillitate understanding and entertainment. Brilliant work! Keep it up.
Hi,
Great video, I loved how you analyzed a full transition rather than showing a static position. starting from 5:10
Identifying the triggers and even the communication between teammates!
Personally I feel that the knowledge from your video really helps me understand what is going on during the game.
F.e. the four midfield roles, the pressing shape...
Thank you
Amazing analysis, thank you for providing these week in week out, you inspire me ❤
This was your best match Analysis yet 😍😍
Your videos always make my day, thanks for doing these, its clear that it takes lot of talent and dedication.
Remember when Real Madrid fans chanted "Xavi Stay" when barca lost 3-1?? Yeeee ain't so funny now is it!?
Yeah dude 🤣🤣🤣 they thought they were so sick.
in the recent times with araujo at RB vini isnt that scary, but rodrygo has been stirring up some magic. He's the only rma player that makes me nervous at the moment....
idon't understand why they bench him. rodrygo ate RW is a manace
Vini was our best player this game and he's been the best this whole season
Vini dribbled past araujo 5 times bro
It's not his fault he always gets the ball when he's surrounded
@@devrishi66 8 goals in league this year, if he's your best then rm is fucked.
@@Darkko88 as compared to other Madrid players he's the best
Total he's got about 30 g/a this season that's the most in our team so yes vini is our best player
He has been la liga player of the month several times what are you on
He has won ucl motms. I bet you don't watch vini
He's the best dribbler in the world since 2021/22 season
He has the most dribbles last season and he's leading the chart this season too in la liga as well as ucl
I’ve been waiting for your video on this!!
This is an amazing analysis, I've been watching other channels about tactical analysis but this is definetely the best one.
kudos
This channel has been a gem of a find. Excellent analysis time after time.
New sub! Thanks for the illuminating analysis. Take care!
Really enjoy your analysis. Keep up the good work.
Love the video. I do believe we are defending better as a unit. The attack I still feels lack a bit of direction especially when Lewa is not on his A game
Wow I actually watched the whole thing. I enjoyed the analysis. Great video
Amazing in depth analysis as always
You deserve more subs,your numbers don't justify your quality of content.KEEP IT UP LAD!!
Love to watch these vids to make sure my analyses are correct and see if i missed anything. Keep it up man love your vids
Amazing video! Keep it up😁
Finally a flawless analysis of the game. You just gained a new subscriber
I was waiting for this analysis
This is my time coming across your channel and am really impressed Perfect Analysis.
This is ridiculously good analysis. Well done
XAVI IS A GENIUS. THE WORLD HAS TO ADMIT THIS.
While not a tactical point, a big key to thee games vs Madrid is that Araujo, Kounde and Balde are consistently getting the better of Vini, Benz and Valverde in individual duels. This wasn't the case previously, with all 3 Madrid guys dominating in previous games.
It's 50-50 in vini's case
Also whenever araujo has 1v1 with vini vini wins it
Vini always gets the ball when he's surrounded
What does benzema even do 😑
@@devrishi66 that's your Madrid point of view, not grounded in reality.
@@devrishi66 More often than not, Aruojo has got the better of him. In this particular match, Aruojo was dribbled past by Vini a few times but Aruojo also did a number on him on multiple occasions.
@@RB-ns2nn I agree before this match it 60-40 to araujo in this match it 60-40 to vini
This duel will be the best one in the coming decade
Perfect match vini and araujo
And they respect each other a lot
What about now? 🫡
broo u got yourself a sub loved your analysis!
I watched the game and didn't notice much of this. Great analysis.
Quality content, keep it up!
Kessie if not a first team player,
He's A Super Sub!
This was an incredible video, I think Madrid needs to upgrade on Ancelotti now. We will always be the Kings of Europe but what Xavi is doing is admirable, and we need to also compete in our domestic leagues “consistently”.
its 12am what a video to end my night
Great content, thank you!
Bro just did the best analysis with the promotion 😂❤
Your analysis is Soo cool man😎
6:53 you barely gave us even half a second!!!😂😂
This was really good thankyou
Really good analysis. Good understanding of intricate details. Question: Should Barca buy LW in summer to play 4-3-3 or should they continue playing 4-4-2 with Pedri and Gavi as interiors?
Better to buy a cvm
There's abde , he is getting better, yamal can also play there in the next 2 season, should better bring auba if needed
8:25 the advertising poster says what Gavi does 😂
I would’ve liked to seen more analysis on carvajals performance overall great video!
perfect way to end the night
Very nice explanation.
Real could probably beat us if they play haram ball and try get vinicious in behind, but if pedri and dembele can play again in 2 weeks i think another victory is likely. Imo opinion its all on Ancelotti to figure out on the chalkboard, for him to go on a 4 loss streak and eliminated from domestic trophies is mostly on him, the same way Xavi mostly to blame for Barcas Europeon exits.
They won't
Awesome analysis😊
Football purist once again lifting my depression, I swear to god if you make a podcast imma listen to it everyday on the drive to work
Who would you look to replace busquets? De jong gavi and pedri as a 3 in midfield is not defensively good imo. Amrabat and brozovic seem great options
Amrabat doesn't have the build up quality but brozovic does who's aged good for short term
Only if Barcelona don't get their first choice zubimendi
gundogan for the free in the summer
Brozovic would be good in short term. But I'd like us to invest in some long term option like Ugarte or ZUBIMENDI
A suggestion for Xavi:
-- playing Christensen in the 'Busquets' role. Rumour is Busquets will stay for one more season only if Messi returns. I believe Christensen has the ball control, vision and physical attributes for this position. Recall when Rafael Marquez and Edmilson played as CDMs under Frank Rijkaard.
-- playing the Mexican International transfer from L.A. Galaxy Julian Araujo at right back next season.
Defense: Julian Araujo, Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Balde
Midfield (square): Gavi & Pedri in front of FDJ and Christensen.
Attack: Lewandowski & Dembele.
Thoughts? 👀
@@johnjwjwjw3062 amrabat defo has the buildup quality needed maybe not as much as busquets but he is good and it would free up de jong as he would not have to cover as much ground as he currently does on defense
One of the videos Graham Potter MUST watch ASAP
Nice video! It's like _Zonal Marking_ only better.
Well done!
The crazy shit is that Barca is a really young team.
Xavi is slowly building a monster.
4-0🤫
@@JR-Weh And ?😂
Barca is a really young team and still Gavi, Padri, Araujo and Balde are amazing.
With a strong backbone the team will slowly start wining.
La Liga is already won. Next season it will only get better.
@avalle4493 what about Lewandowski and busquets????? Are they also young?
Great analysis. How can you expect Real Madrid to keep up with intensity, if their players are literally exhausted and Ancelotti refuses to make more changes earlier. He did 2 changes minute 62 and 3 changes minute 76. But Benzema was out of the game from start to finish and Modric and Cross looked out of breath in more than one occasion, Cross not having any repercussion in the whole game whatsoever.
As a culé I enjoy winning every Clásico and seeing all the players and the crowd giving it all out, but let's be honest, Real Madrid weren't even competing.
Thoughts on transfer rumour videos and how they will fit in the team? And if you think if it's a good signing or not
Great analysis on the the pressing system barca is using...
Your videos are amazing please do more
You should be the next Barcelona manager bruv😂💯 great analysis. Thanks for the uploads
this was amazing
Can you make a video about what happen ( tactical) if Messi back at Barcelona ? i think it will be interesting
What else they will play with less intensity less pressing no trackbacks and more blunder in defence coz forward will work less..and again out of europa coz you are not qualifying from ucl group stages...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video and analysis again, as always. Not sure I agree with your closing statements about Real though and your narrative here that Barca are good and Real are bad.
Yes, Real play conservative attacking football and never seem to be high in intensity, but last year their entire CL run was built on that. Every round in the KO stage was characterised by a high intensity team dominating them, but for them to stay in the game, never let their heads drop, and strike when the opposition was tired and their conservative style saw them with greater energy levels at the end.
They weren't necessarily the better team over any of the matches (except maybe the first leg against chelsea, because of, as you described, Vinicius getting the better of Christensen but it all changed when Reece James went to RB), but Ancelotti's set up that you described here was the key to it.
Barca pretty much have RM figured all out, props to them they deserve it.
Nice analysis brother… plz make a preview video of copa 2nd leg
Thanks for the analysis and the video, I like it.
But I think generally, the game was an open one, and both teams committed mistakes or have shown weaknesses, and so strengths for a total of 90 minutes.
You only cropped out few situations among all and use these as an argument to make a point that, it is why Barca won. Essentially, i agree, but my point is you could also do a similar video by cropping the Real Madrid fine moments to make a point that they could had won the match against Barca. For instance, that offside goal, I you see total of 7 RM players were attacking the Barca box 😀
I feel that stats in the beginning about Real taking more time in their build up is misleading. Because La ligua with low team offcourse it will be that way : madrid will have to take its time because the opponent close the game, but in games where the opponent plays with the ball and oppen the game, if they have space they will attack directly they wont take their time while Barça no matter the situation they often take their time for the build up.
I miss your videos please do more
I thought something had looked off with how Madrid were playing but I was really high & focused so this is cool to see now lol.
We need more barca vids
Kounde, what a player
bro which app or software do you use to add analysis of the player which you had done in your video at 0:16 second
Do you guys think we can match the intensity of playing against Bayern now? Since Muller said before we couldn't match their intensity. Really hope that we can face them in the future and get revenge.
We had more intensity then them in Munich in a game we should've won but that's football for u,the issue vs Bayern this season is that the team wasn't yet ready to play how Xavi wants against elite opponents
We have been very unlucky in CL this year, deserved to win in Munich, a penalty not given in Milan, with a draw there, Barça would went through the group stage. Not to mention, that Kounde and Araujo were injured, both games against Inter.
Barca is still not ready for Europe. Xavi's record in ucl and Europa is very poor. We still needs reinforcement in the team to compete, until that they should focus on la Liga for coming seasons.
@@Gamer4lyf100 Agree we need solid replacement to our key players. Squad depth is needed to compete at the highest stages.
We don't have the elite wingers Bayern has at their disposal. Fo the other positions i think we can match them, but all of Gnabry, Mane, Sane, Musiela, Coman ar emuch better hen Ansu Ferran fo example. Only Demeble and raphinia are at decent level.
Football is truly beautiful, happy to see Xavis Barça evolving
i learned so much from this video 😭😭
If Raphinia like playing inside why can't he be part of 4 man midfield and play as right interior...This means Dembele can play at RW...So both are accommodated and we get more creativity and goal threat from midfield
The issue is ball retention,while Pedri is amazing at keeping the ball Raphinha not so much and him playing there leads to turnovers although it's an option still but not so likely.
@@arditarmadhi5108 Pedri can even play next to Fdj or even as left interior...This is only way I see both Raphinia and Dembele starting ...Also Raphinia is excellent pressser and his link up play is very good
on the ball intelligence is the main difference, knowing when to rotate vs when to go for the killer pass. Rafinha is missing that ovwr pedri, Rafinha typically prefer offensive options (shot, forward pass and dribbles) and they aren't the best option always. admittedly his decison making has gotten a lot better over the season, but pedri plays that role like a seasoned veteran.
@@leonronnie Of course it's not a clear cut choice...And of course u need to make some sacrifice...Pedri can play even as left interior...And this would help Balde and make us more creative from left side...coz from right Dembele and Raphinia are perfect for creativity...one goes wide and other cuts in...A nightmare for defenders...With this we don't even need an offensive RB...And intelligence improves with experience...The more Raphinia plays the more he improves...And Raphinia btw he is pretty intelligent...The runs he makes where Busquets drops a ball right on his head for goals before Madeid match shows he has intelligence
@@satyamsaurabh8060 and where would gavi play because without him Barcelona's intensity is greatly reduced
So then how do they make these full comebacks if they're down by like 3 goals, did they use a similar structure against Liverpool? Like how do they turn their games around if the structure doesn't help create chances or threats?
Bro. Imagine Ancelotti actually improve his stand against Barca after watching this video
😂
Xavi BARÇA is tactical team it'll be hard for RM to get a win
Doubt he will. He relies on individuals to bail him out more often than not at madrid
Please make a video of the pros and importantly the CONS if...IF we are able to bring back the GOAT
I'd gladly take Messi back at a sub with reduced salary.
i see mostly cons as one of the bases of our recent succes is our high press and with messi we wouldn´t be able to do it
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how/if Messi would fit into this Barcelona side. I know it’s probably a long shot for him to rejoin the team but they would likely benefit immensely on the attacking side having a playmaker of his caliber but with how aggressive they are on the defensive front I just wonder how negatively it would affect the intensity of their press. Obviously I’d love to see Messi in a Barcelona shirt again but I’m just curious what you or anyone else thinks!
It would be a dream seeing Messi on wing giving Lewy assist left and right *_*
5:58 you’re a wizard, Harry
Joking aside, I also could not believe how static Real were, and look even worse the more you watch it back. The fullbacks have nothing to offer when going forward, they’re simply not that kind of players.
Lewa's back heel pass destroyed whole madrid.....dude is not just a striker....he is a playmaking striker
This video aged like fine wine :)
I'm just happy for my Barcelona and Barcelona for ever
what editing program do you use bro??
BEST WAY TO END THE NIGHT
Militao running upfield is not an ancelotti invention! he's played as a RB since his youth days and he did an amazing job as a RB in the world cup.
What software do you use for your analysis
