Barcelona seem to be very lucky been grouped with Porto, Sharkhtar and Antwerp because clearly they are dominating in the group winning all three first legs and leading with nine points with Porto following behind with 6 points. It doesn’t look like Barcelona will lose even a game in this group, their future in the UCL this season looks very promising.

There is no guarantee that Barcelona will always be able to win every match in the group stage even though on paper the depth of their squad is better than the 3 competing teams. Barcelona lost many important players at this time and several players who recovered were not yet fully able to give their best performance. Raphinha, Lewandowski have played today for the El Clasico match, but their performance is still not satisfactory.

The only thing I am sure about Barcelona in the Champions League this season is, they will qualify for the last 16. Of course, that's because they have won 3 of 6 matches, which means they have secured 9 points. It only takes 1 win to ensure they qualify, so it's not too heavy a burden for them.

Oh, it's very clear why, because the group phase matches aren't really over yet. In football, every possibility can happen. Even though in their three matches, Barcelona won full points and has collected 9 points. and this also applies to every team that still has matches in the Champions League group phase. So, not only for Barcelona.
Currently, two Barcelona players have returned to play in the El Clasico match. although I can't guarantee whether they will really recover from their injuries. Perdri and De Jong will follow soon. So it is very likely that on the fourth matchday, Barcelona's core players will recover. Moreover, of the teams that were their opponents in the H group phase, only Porto was able to provide fierce resistance to Barcelona.

But when these two teams meet later, the injured Barcelona players have recovered from their injuries. They just need to improve their fitness again, in order to play with their best performance in match after match and including in this competition. and I am sure, Barcelona will win group H and ensure they qualify for the next round. There is a big possibility that Porto will accompany him to the round of 16.
