Why Barcelona will struggle this season (video)

Xavi has one big problem to solve this season – and it has little to do with Barca's transfers or financial worries.

Compared to the 2021/22 season, the team have become worse when it comes to building up from the back and creating chances.

YouTube channel The Purist Football explains the problem in more detail, providing some specific examples of Barca's inability to build good attacks, as well as possible solutions to it (spoiler: Joao Cancelo's arrival could help fix it!)
