Original title: 9 goals in 4 games! Messi crazy output! Can Barcelona get out of their slump at home against a weak team?
A bye will be played in the 1st round of La Liga this midweek, and Barcelona will welcome Elche at home. Barcelona has been in the doldrums for a while now, and their hopes of winning the league this season are getting slim. With Elche in the relegation zone, will Barcelona be able to get out of their slump and get back on track?
In last weekend's league match, Barcelona was held to a draw at home by underdog Cadiz. After the draw, Barcelona had no chance to close the gap with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and it will be very difficult for them to win the La Liga this season. Including last week's Champions League defeat to Paris, Barcelona's past four official matches have resulted in only one win, one draw and two losses, and the team is under tremendous pressure.
The main reason for Barcelona's slump in recent times has come from the instability in their backline. Whether it's against Grand Paris or Cadiz, Barcelona have had major problems at the back. The likes of Langley, Umtiti, and Dexter have all made mistakes in recent games. Who can be a stable backline partner for Pique? It will be a problem that Koeman will have to solve in the next.
