According to "World Sports News", Barcelona has frequent defensive problems this season, and the club is worried about the performance of Balde and Conde.

While the blame can't be entirely placed on them, Balde hasn't been as good this season as he was last season, with a muscle injury in September that kept him out of five games a liability. In his other eleven games, he provided two assists and created a penalty chance, which Lewandowski missed against Sevilla.

On the other hand, Conde is also going through a difficult season. After scoring the winning goal for Barcelona in last season's Copa del Rey final to help the team defeat Real Madrid, the France international's form has declined. He doesn't have many bright spots on the offensive end, and he's not as steady and confident as he used to be on the defensive end.

Although it is unclear the specific reason for Conde's poor condition, he is still the absolute main force under head coach Flick, and he renewed his contract with the club until 2030 in August, showing the club's trust in him. In addition to missing the game against Celta Vigo due to injury, Kounde also scored a goal (vs Real Sociedad) and had an assist (vs Newcastle).
