Barcelona don't seem to be included in this circle, I wonder why anyone still believes Barcelona will be a title candidate team in the Champions League this season. Because the fact is, that Barcelona in the last two seasons always failed in the Champions League. Also Barcelona not only failed in the Champions League, but Barcelona also failed in the Europa League and obviously, it was a bad achievement for Barcelona. Although yeah, Barcelona has a star player in the squad but still, Barcelona still does not have the quality or ability to be a candidate for the title in this Champion League this season. Lol!
I have different view from you about this all because Barcelona is one of the best club with having La Liga title in last season and if they are having problems in last two seasons it's not mean things will be stayed at same level because they are fixing their issues, and they can do much better than last season in Champions League with Xavi is doing impressive job which is helping them for staying at the top in early matches they have few issues but as they will be adjusted then surely they could be at their best.
Now Real Madrid is without Mbappé and Bayern Munich is having Harry Kane with this all most chances we will have good interesting competition for the title between few clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester City and Inter can also put their entry again in top four because Italians are also having good depth which is going to help them in this season as well.
