Barcelona continue to experience a series of unsuccessful matches in La Liga, despite the recent return of Lamine Yamal, but he cannot help the Catalan team regain the excitement of the first 3 months of the season.
Lamine Yamal presents the Ballon d'Or to the young player who just won it, but then got injured, causing Barcelona trouble.
In 6 matches from the beginning of November until now in La Liga, Barcelona has only won 1 match, lost 3 and drawn 2, conceding 9 goals. This disastrous series of matches has caused coach Hansi Flick's team to be caught up in the rankings by rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
Barcelona are level on 38 points with Atletico Madrid, but have played one more game (18 to 17). Behind Real Madrid are also on 37 points and have a game in hand.
This performance makes the "three-horse" La Liga championship race extremely suffocating. Especially in the next round, Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid at home at 3:00 on December 22.
Atletico Madrid have won all six of their recent La Liga matches, with the outstanding performances of striker Julian Alvarez (formerly of Man City) and veteran striker Antoine Griezmann, to become the biggest rival of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the championship race.
Real Madrid will next play the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca Club (Mexico) at 0:00 on December 19 in Qatar. Immediately after that, Coach Ancelotti's team will fly back to Spain to prepare for the key match against Sevilla at home at 22:15 on December 22.
The final matches of December will almost certainly decide the top spot in La Liga and the championship chances for the three teams Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
Barcelona are in a slump. According to the latest news from AS , the Catalan team may also be without star player Lamine Yamal for the time being, after he injured his right ankle and left the field in the 75th minute of the loss to Leganes.
This is not a new injury for Lamine Yamal, as this player was affected in a similar position before and was out of action for more than 3 weeks. Therefore, the possibility of Lamine Yamal returning in time for the match against Atletico Madrid is very unlikely.
Premier League: 2 coaches fired overnight, Pep Guardiola's future unclear
Southampton and Wolverhampton are the latest clubs to sack their managers after disastrous results in the 16th round of the Premier League on the weekend of December 14 and 15. Southampton parted ways with coach Russell Martin immediately after the heavy 0-5 defeat to Tottenham. Wolverhampton also said goodbye to coach Gary O'Neil. Both clubs have temporarily appointed caretaker managers while they search for new replacements.
Coach Pep Guardiola and striker Erling Haaland
Meanwhile, Man City coach Pep Guardiola admitted: "I'm still the boss of the team. I'm the manager. I have to find a solution. I'm not good enough. It's that simple. I'm not doing well, that's the truth."
Man City just lost shockingly to city rivals MU with a score of 1-2, in which 2 goals were conceded in the last 2 minutes of the match, after Gvardiol opened the score for "Man City" in the 36th minute.
This is the 11th consecutive match in all competitions recently, Man City has only won 1, drawn 2, and lost the rest (8 matches). Coach Pep Guardiola recently admitted that there is a high possibility that he will be fired by the team's owners, even though they are very close, such as billionaire Khaldoon Al Mubarak, in the middle of the season.
