"It goes without saying that Barcelona must rethink their tactical approach, especially after losing further ground to Real Madrid in the La Liga title race. Following their 1-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Catalan giants now trail their arch-rivals by five points, and with the November international break approaching, it is clear that several things need to change. This period calls for serious self-reflection."
"Among those returning to action, Robert Lewandowski has already rejoined group training, which comes as a huge boost for Barcelona's attacking options. Meanwhile, Joan Garcia is also nearing the end of his recovery. The goalkeeper, sidelined for the past four weeks, is expected to begin specific on-pitch work in the coming days as he completes the final phase of his rehabilitation."
Barcelona sit five points behind Real Madrid after a 1-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu and must urgently rethink tactics ahead of the November international break. Injuries and fatigue are present but cannot justify underwhelming performances; issues are both tactical and psychological. The team lacks attacking sharpness, suffers on transitions, and shows inconsistent intensity. Several key players voluntarily reported to training on an official rest day, including Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Roony Bardghji, Wojciech Szczesny, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia and Robert Lewandowski. Lewandowski has rejoined group training and goalkeeper Joan Garcia nears the final phase of rehabilitation. Upcoming weeks are crucial for results and conviction.
