Barcelona are going through tough times following their sudden decline in the Spanish league and the unexpected loss of their lead in La Liga.
The team’s legend, Andrés Iniesta, has revealed the real reasons behind this downturn, confirming that there is a clear problem with the performance of some players.
Barcelona’s defeat to Atlético Madrid has had a clear impact on the team’s dressing room, as some voices have started to demand changes to the starting lineup.
Iniesta, who knows very well what Barcelona needs to do to return to the top, revealed the ideal solution to get out of the crisis. In statements to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, he confirmed that “Barcelona needs to sign a strong and influential striker to strengthen the attacking line,” referring to Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, a player for Sporting Lisbon, as an ideal option.
According to Iniesta, Gyökeres has the skills and abilities to make a difference this season, especially with his intelligent movement and ability to finish attacks.
At the same time, Iniesta called on Barcelona’s management, headed by Joan Laporta, and coach Hansi Flick to part ways with the “failed player,” referring to Robert Lewandowski, who, according to the Barça legend, has become one of the most prominent players bearing part of the responsibility for the team’s decline.
Information from “El Nacional” confirms that Iniesta believes signing Gyökeres and selling Lewandowski may be the only way to get Barcelona back on the right track, especially in light of the current worrying situation.
The question now is: Will Barcelona’s management respond to this warning?
