We had a bit more expectations from Barcelona in the last season of the Champions League, but I don't know why Barcelona failed to give their best performance in the last season's Champions League. According to statistics, Barcelona took the lead from Bayern Munich last season but ended up losing 2-0 to Bayern Munich. Also, against Inter Milan, Barcelona created a chance to win but ended the match with a draw. Barcelona could have finished last season's Champions League well if they could have drawn against Munich. Despite performing worse than expected last season, Barcelona have a chance to do well this season, but to do well in the Champions League tournament, Barcelona's defense must be strengthened because Barcelona's defense has not been strong so far to me.

Barcelona have bad trend in UEFA Champion League last two season in a row after failure qualify from group stage, they have been eliminated in group stage last season after loss fighting with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. For this season still waiting with drawing group stage and will possibility for Barcelona get difficult group?

Not optimist with Barcelona chance qualify to next phase if the same group with Inter and Bayern Munich because get bad trend actually against Bayern Munich never winning yet in last several matches. Last season, Barcelona defense is solid in domestic league with teams conceded fewest goals but playing in Champion League they are most weakness defense.

if we talk about Barcelona chances in the UCL it will be difficult after the financial woes from last season which caused Barcelona to find it difficult to bring in quality players or talented players. Im not saying that Barcelona does not have top players, but its impossible if Barcelona only relies on Lewandowski while the defense also needs high quality players.
Honestly, Im waiting for Barcelona to rise from this downturn to be able to recapture its glory days but its very difficult when top teams from other leagues also have very significant improvements such as Bayern Munich who just got Kane or Man City who still have Haaland from these two teams. it is clear that Barcelona will be very difficult to compete with other top team.
