Barcelona are still looking for a new leader, which is reflected in the team’s results in all tournaments. On November 6th, the Catalans found a new mentor. A three-year contract with the club was signed by the 41-year-old ex-player of the Xavi team, on whom the management and fans have high hopes. In the Champions League, after four rounds, the “blue garnet” chalked up two victories, both over Dynamo Kyiv (1:0 and 1:0), which brought six points and good chances of reaching the next stage of the main club tournament in Europe. After 12 rounds of the current championship of Primera on the account of “blue-garnet” are four victories and five peaceful outcomes, which brought 17 points and the ninth line. It should be noted the performance indicators of the hosts, who scored only 19 times in the entire tournament. After two defeats in a row, Barca drew twice in a row with Alaves (1:1) and Celta (3:3). Dest, Pedri, Fati, Braithuite, Nico and Aguero, who has heart problems, will not be able to play today.
Juventus once again failed in the first round of the championship. Massimiliano Allegri’s team is only eighth in the table after 12 rounds. Despite the fact that only a third of the tournament distance has passed, the “old lady” has probably already dropped out of the championship race. To catch up with Milan and Napoli, which have come off by 14 points, will be, if not unrealistic, then incredibly difficult, considering how often ” Juve “makes mistakes. A series of three failed matches, where Juventus lost to Sassuolo (1:2) and Verona (1:2) and also barely snatched a 1:1 draw from Inter in the last seconds, was interrupted in the last round. At home Juventus beat Fiorentina 1:0, but was very close to another fiasco. Juan Cuadrado’s goal came in the third added minute.
