Barcelona have poor performance in Champion League after drop to 3rd standing position and left 3 points behind Inter Milan the latest position qualify to next round, bad dreaming for Barcelona at champion league because next match if Inter success win actually Barcelona have to play on Europe League. Become bad started for Barcelona before el clasico match because the rival team Real Madrid have lock one place at 16 round of Champion League. Actually I think chance for Barcelona have closed because Inter playing home on next match and seems easy how to win from Plzen.
Barcelona seems not qualified for the next UCL stage because Inter must win against Viktoria Plzen. While Barcelona will play against Bayern Munich that is likely impossible to get a single point. Sure, this reality is a bad matter for Barcelona players', they may feel frustrated and unhappy. But I hope it won't impact so much on Barcelona players' mentality since they will have a chance to compete for La Liga title if they get a loss in the upcoming El Classico. Especially, the El Classico will be held in Real Madrid home (Bernabeu), it won't be an easy match.
It's a shame that Barcelona had to fail to win when they faced Inter in the Champions League. As you said it is likely that Barcelona will fail to qualify
for the next round and will have to continue playing in the Europa League. But I hope Barcelona's bad results in the Champions League don't continue
into La Liga. Moreover, the El Clasico match will soon begin, although the match will be played at home to Real Madrid, Barcelona should remain optimistic.
Because Barcelona have disappointed their supporters with Barcelona's poor performance in the Champions League, at least Barcelona players have
to show that they can perform well in La Liga.
So Barcelona should be able to win El Clasico, Real Madrid is not an easy opponent to beat. But if Xavi can field the right players and being able to use
an effective strategy should Barcelona be able to win the El Clasico match. Which El Clasico match is very important for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, which determines who deserves to be at the top. To be honest, because the strength of the two teams is almost the same, it becomes very difficult
to predict who will win the El Clasico. Looks like a draw is likely to happen, and if that's the case, I think the draw results are quite satisfactory for
both teams.
