Let's not hope for too much, but at least make sure Real don't have another easy season because then they again can rest for UCL. Hate that lol.
I also agree because expecting anything too much is going to make the Barcelona fans really sad because they are not in a situation of achieving great things right now, Barcelona is in a rebuilding situation right now. It will be really foolish to hope for too much from Barcelona right now. And I also agree that the second place in La Liga last season was actually beyond expectation and the Barcelona fans should not expect anything more than the second place in the next season as well.
Well, it's not just about being sad. I can deal with being sad and the past 5 or 6 years is literally a campaign of sadness with everything going on but of course, much better to feel the joy of watching happy players play football than zombies waiting for the whistle to blow at every match.
It's more about being focused on the future and using the present to build up that future. Training and mentality and team all of these takes patience. Trying to set unrealistic targets ruins those efforts.
