Maybe if Chelsea played in the Champions League they would be in first place beating PSG and several teams from the English top league because Chelsea spent at least more than 400 million euros, a fantastic figure.
FC Barcelona only spent a small amount because that is what they had to do otherwise sanctions would be possible.
Successfully winning in the first match against Antwerp cannot yet describe Barcelona is a successful team in the Champions League this season because the journey is still very far away, but seeing Joao Felix score two goals, it seems like this player has regained his passion for playing and Barcelona is not spending a lot of money on this player very lucky, especially if he is consistent at Barcelona.
Chelsea efforts to build a new squad under Pochettino command take up quite a large budget, but so far this has not had a significant impact on the club. Barcelona have had greater luck by relying on a player loan policy, so far Joao Felix has been quite successful, I think, in making a contribution to the Blaugrana. However, we know that large player spending figures do not guarantee success in winning trophies, for example PSG.
So far I think only Real Madrid, Man City and Arsenal have been successful with their new recruits, because they can immediately make a direct contribution to the club. Arsenal are one of the contenders for champions in the EPL, after making transfers to recruit Declan Rice and Kai Havertz at quite expensive prices, now they are just waiting to see what impact they can have on the UCL.
