Under manager Xabi Alonso — yes, di same Xabi Alonso wey coach Bayer Leverkusen to di Bundesliga title before dem take am to Real Madrid — di team don show good football at times. But consistency remain di issue. Barcelona dey more consistent, more clinical, and dem current form suggest say dem no go drop di ball now.
