Barcelona's standard of play in LaLiga and Champions League is completely different. Which surprised us all. With the way they performed in La Liga early on, I expected them to do well in the Champions League but they have only deteriorated. Now there is doubt about going to the next round.
Champion's League is completely different from the local leagues. Have you seen how Inter Milan's performance? They are number 7 according to the current standings with 5 wins and 4 losses out of 9 games. But they did manage to beat Barcelona that hasn't lost a single league game so far.
