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.
True but we are not yet seeing how strong barcelona in UCL. barcelona was unable to pass the group stage last season caused by it was losing against intermilan at the last match.
Barcelona needs to show how good it was. People are still feeling doubt if they have not yet seen the real performance from barcelona. I don't wanna see barcelona as underrated team. Barcelona was a strong team last season in la liga but it has opposite performance when played in champion league. We can only argue based on our logic if barcelona will not try to repeat the same mistake last season but we can't sure how strong barcelona is right now.
I have been waiting for the first match of barcelona in UCL. I must admit barcelona was really strong in the domestic league but its mentality will be full tested when it comes to the champion league.
I can't wait to see the debut of yamal at UCL as well. He is such a talented player,
