Barca did poorly in the UCL, but they had a good performance in La Liga. I don't know if this is a tactic from Xavi, but it looks like Barca is overwhelmed to face a team that is in the same group as him.
if Barca wants to qualify for the next phase, I think Barca must turn things around from Barca's previous matches with Munich and Inter. Winning the match with these two teams will certainly be quite difficult for Barca. although they have a more solid team at the moment, Barca still has to work hard.
It will be extremely difficult for Barcelona to continue to perform well in both the Champions League and La Liga at the same time. But I did expect a stronger performance from Barcelona in the Champions League. Right now it really feels like Xavi is clearly concentrating on doing his part in La Liga.
But if that is the case, I am not happy with it. What I actually think is that they are trying to do well in the Champions League. But at the same time, they have a really good standing in La Liga. I believe that they are not trying to jeopardize their position in La Liga by attempting to do well in the Champions League. And I think Barcelona actually accepted the fact that they don't have much chance of winning the Champions League. So they are putting all their resources into trying to win La Liga and holding onto the first position throughout the season.
