this season Xavi should be lucky enough not to be in the hell group. I think getting through the group phase is quite easy for Barca, they are the favorites to qualify. especially with the player material that Xavi has in the current Barca squad. of course, even City should consider Barca. unlike last season, Xavi failed, but they won't repeat that this season.
Xavi has prepared everything well, as well as his request to the club to bring in several important players at this time. I think those who have just been brought in by Barca will help the team in the Champions League.
Yes, Barcelona is lucky enough to be in the same group as Royal Antwerp, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, ideally they will get through the group phase easily, but the reality is that we don't know whether Barcelona can get through easily or not.
September 20 they will have their first UCL match and face Royal Antwerp, playing at home will certainly be the basis of their motivation, 3 points are in sight it seems.
Royal Antwer is a very easy opponent for Barcelona and Barcelona should get a very easy win in this match. If Barcelona do not make any big mistakes against Royal Antwerp in the Champions League, Barcelona will definitely win this match by a big margin. Barcelona are very lucky because they have an easy opponent where other teams would be up against tough authorities. As much as we think Royal Antwerp is an easy opponent, Barcelona should take this team as a difficult opponent because if taken as an easy opponent, then Barcelona will definitely perform poorly, as a result of which Barcelona will lose the chance to do well in this match. Opponents are never easy, opponents are always hard to beat. People who take opponents easy can never do well.
