It seems that luck is very much on Barcelona's side this season in the Champions League. Barcelona occupies the last group which is inhabited by teams that tend to be no better than them, so basically Barcelona will be the favorites to qualify for the round of 16 this season.
I know Barcelona shouldn't be happy because no one knows if they can overcome all these challenges easily. Porto and Shakhtar are not to be underestimated, but I'm sure Barcelona will go ahead as planned.
Barcelona certainly presents a positive image with their standing in the Champions League. But I cant get rid of this sensation. Sure, Group H doesnt have those large sharks lurking nearby, but theres also Porto. Didnt they pull off several surprises last season? However, I believe Barcelona and Porto will both likely advance to the round of 16. Since we're talking about challenges, Group F is a fiercely competitive group. Additionally, I cant stop reflecting about how much Xavi concentrated on LaLiga last season. Yes, it really did work. But hey, I say, why not channel some of that enthusiasm onto the UCL this year? After all, a little balance is always beneficial.I know Barcelona shouldn't be happy because no one knows if they can overcome all these challenges easily.
