The main goal of the big clubs is their league title and the Champions League. But this season is a little different. Many big clubs are now performing in Europe leagues. But still the main sign of every team is its own league title. Barcelona and Arsenal will be looking to secure their league title. And then they will want to win the Europa League title. But as a common spectator we would definitely like to enjoy a competitive league.
I don't think so, those team consider winning the europa league as a way to go to the champion league. this league gives only a trophy and qualification for the next champion league. I don't even think barcelona would be winning the current season. it must be arsenal that potentially winning the title. barcelona is not strong enough to do that. Europa league teams were also strong. barcelona failed last year and it will be failed again this year. The league become more competitive with some major club came yet champion league is still paying main attention from all of football fans
people are always picking barcelona to win the tittle but last season it can do nothing against frankfurt. Barcelona is not tough team to be beaten. Playing offensive and counter attack is a key to win against barcelona
After falling from the most prestigious competition, automatically the big teams that failed will focus more on the domestic league and target the championship trophy. however, to make amends for his failure in the Champions League. the big teams that enter the second caste League, namely the Europa League. they will also target the championship trophy even though it is not as prestigious as the Champions League.
like Barcelona, for example, after dropping into the Europa League competition. like it or not, Xavi will target the title of this competition in addition to targeting the domestic league competition. Barcelona has enough chances to compete in the last 16 round later, on condition that Barcelona qualify during the play-off match. if the injured Barcelona players have fully recovered, Barcelona is a team that is difficult to beat. Barcelona's defeat in the Champions League group stage doesn't necessarily mean that they're not a strong team.
they just rebuilt their strength, at least it took some time to maximize every strategy that Xavi implemented. Unfortunately, 2 defenders who are often relied on get injured. the poor overall performance of Barcelona's players in the draw against Inter. and yes, Xavi played a role in Barcelona's defeat at that time. So, Barcelona has a chance anyway. however, we don't know how they will play their match later in the playoffs vs Manchester United. for Arsenal, so far they are one of the candidates who have the potential to win this competition.
