I don't see Barcelona winning the Champions League because the rating of their performance last season is very low. Even winning La Liga is luck to me because Real Madrid's attention was all on the Champions League and to some extent Madrid is also not serious, they played well during the first League against Manchester City and second leg i wonder what happened and they were clear beating by the city to qualify for the finals, I believe Barcelona should stick to La Liga since the Champions League is truly very competitive if you are not prepared, be prepared to dance to your own song outside of the league.

I believe we should consider more than just how they performed in the previous season when assessing how they will perform in the upcoming one. Barcelona's performance in the Champions League last season was not great, but I don't think it was so poor that they shouldn't be considered one of the favorites to win it the next season . Personally, I think Barcelona will give it their all in the Champions League the next season.

Barcelona won La Liga last season, but I don't think it was luck; I think it was their hard work because they snatched 10 points away from Real Madrid in second place, and once again, these aren't the only two clubs vying for the league. Therefore, I don't think it is enough to persuade me considering that Real Madrid's focus was on the Champions League. Teams' success in the Champions League does not imply that they neglected their domestic league if they perform poorly there.

I hope Xavi can really learn from Barcelona's mistakes and his strategy in the last two seasons in the Champions League, so he should have a good plan for next season's Champions League. But still, I don't think Barcelona has a big chance to win the Champions League title soon.

I think Xavi ought to have learned from his errors from last season, and I'd venture to suggest that Barcelona will do better in the Champions League the next season because their team is not particularly weak. However, let's wait and watch what happens if the upcoming Champions League begins.

Some clubs need to start having serious back up against injuries, relying on a specific player on a specific position can be dangerous, Real Madrid suffered the same thing when Benzema went on injury, Alonso case the player needs to understand field communications to make team work more effective, Barcelona actually had some defaults last season, which is why I stated that winning even La Liga was pure luck. Personally, I don't see Barcelona winning the Champions League either; Inter Milan performed significantly better and may potentially have a chance this time.

In a team, backup is undoubtedly crucial. Teams who wish to win trophies must always consider having a strong replacement for each of their players, as this has a significant impact on how well the team performs.Because they have backup players for each of their players, Manchester City consistently outperforms other teams in various competitions, which is why we hardly ever observe the team lose form like other teams.
