MADRID - Barcelona is struggling to click in front of goal this season and a nagging injury to playmaker Xavi leaves coach Pep Guardiola with a dilemma for the visit of FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Danish champion is the runaway leader in its domestic league and tops Group D with two wins from two, while an inconsistent Barca lies second with four points after a 1-1 draw away to Rubin Kazan.
Although Barca stormed back to beat Valencia 2-1 at home in La Liga on Saturday, it has struggled to find the back of the net in matches at the Nou Camp. A 2-0 defeat to promoted Hercules and a 1-1 draw with Real Mallorca there have raised eyebrows.
