Thursday night's Europa League exit was another blow for the Catalan club, but Xavi's side were competitive against Manchester United and should be better off next season
The truth is Barcelona can’t compete against high intensity teams in Europe with the like of Busquests, Alba and Roberto. I don’t know the reasons why Xavi is insisting on their contracts renewal
Thanks Ben always insightful... Xavi is doing great and the rebuild will continue and like you said the defeat is not a disgrace. We'll come back stronger next season after wining la liga
Thanks, Danjay. Yes, I think so too, although the team will need different qualities to succeed in Europe. Reasons to be positive, though, as I say in the article...
It was a painful loss for me. Especially because we had chances in the first half to bury the game and more particularly so because both Manchester United goals were as a result of lack of awareness and concentration from the so called better defence choice of the fans.
It was there to be won. Feel like Barcelona lost it in the first leg, really. Xavi's defensive changes were certainly strange. Anyway, I think FCB will be stronger next season...

That's definitely part of it. Will be interesting to see how Barcelona decide to replace Busquets, who remains very important to the way they play...
