Xavi could breathe a sigh of relief after the UCL Drawing was completed, Barcelona got an easier opponent after getting the advantage of joining Pot 1. Barcelona is the favorite team in Group H, only Porto is the toughest opponent Barcelona faces in the race to win Group.
Even though Barcelona joins a relatively easy group, Xavi must not underestimate his opponents, he must remain focused on his goal of qualifying for the round of 16. The obstacles that Barcelona are still facing this season are on the front and back lines. Lewandowski is still having trouble scoring goals and is still very easy for the opposing team to break into.
Looks promising with Barcelona chance qualify to next phase based on group stage is not really get difficult opponent, has opportunities for Xavi Hernandez make Barcelona qualify to next round after failure in group stage last two season in a row. Not any bigger opponent teams will make Barcelona easily managed top standings in Group H and I think Barcelona has ratio above 80% for qualifying to next round in Champion League.
Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Antwerp is not difficult opponent teams for Barcelona and actually they have chance for winning all matches in group stage.
Give beneficial in domestic league because Barcelona can all out for getting points in La Liga, but Champion League must priority after failure last two season qualify to next round.
