With the composition of the group they are in, I would easily say that Barcelona will qualify from the group stage and will most likely be accompanied by Leipzig. Barcelona look much better prepared this season than last. It can be said that the previous season they were still groping for their strength, because rising from the downturn was something that was not easy. and they amazingly managed to become champions when they had just come out of a phase where they had to fight to be in the top 4 in the previous season. and I think I will see them in the next round.
The Barcelona team will play at their best to do well in the Champions League. Barcelona's team performed very poorly in the Champions League last season. This season coach Xavi has added some new players to the squad who will look to create a strong team with a lot of experience in the new equation so that Barcelona can do well in the Champions League.
Logically with their failure last season they don't want to do the same thing this season, especially since their preparations were clearly better last season. Last season where they had to find players for their foundation, and now they just need to complete what they have built last season. Based on all that, of course they must be in the target will also be even higher. Last season maybe I personally did not set a target for them, because I know what they have experienced, it is a very hard job for Xavi to build a team from the bottom.
Last season Barcelona performed very poorly in the Champions League, this season surely we will not see a repeat of last season from Barcelona side. Not saying Barcelona will be champions but Barcelona are the team they need to perform as per the team we expect from them this season. As strong as Barcelona's attack is, their defense is much weaker, which could lead to Xavi's side falling far behind in the Champions League. Xavi will certainly plan what he needs to do to get the best out of his team but Xavi will still need to pay a bit more attention to his own defense line. Because if the defense is not strong, then no matter how many goals you score, the goals will be worthless.
