Barcelona has indeed performed very well in the LA Liga, but Barcelona has often performed poorly in the past few seasons due to financial factors and injuries to several players which have been the cause of their unlucky UCL.

However, their first start of the season failed to get any points as they drew against Getafe and Barcelona managed to overcome this to win again against Cadiz. I think Barcelona run this season is certainly more impressive than the previous season and hope that Lewandowski can end the problem of scoring goals in the upcoming matches.

Since the financial crises at Barcelona started, one can tell how the former Barcelona player has been managing the team's performance and bringing out the best from the available players at Barcelona. I think they currently have a better squad than that of last season. So I expect them to finish in either the first or second position at the end if the season
