They are bad in La Liga? Are you not wrong to say that?
They're in 3rd place now and is that a bad thing? Sure, they may have lost a big game yesterday, but they can't say it was because they played badly, especially since it was a very draining game and they didn't have a ful squad.
I think they are much better now, although not as good as in their heyday, but if we compare with the previous season then we will see they are much better.
There is still hope for them in the Champions League, at least they can provide competition and not fall in the group stages.
Before yesterday's defeat in the hands and f league leaders Real Madrid, Barcelona were the only team in the Spanish top flight that was still unbeaten and I that's why I think it's totally out of proportion to think that they've been poor in the La Liga this season.
The truth is that the current Barcelona squad isn't strong enough to be considered as a serious contender for the UEFA Champions League title but for anyone to say they're currently performing bad I think is a disrespect for everything Xavi Hernandez has done with the team this season
And that's why I'm questioning what's the reason for saying Barcelona are doing badly in La Liga, the fact is they're now top of the table with good points too.
In the Champions League they're top of the table with perfect points and given that I'm optimistic they'll go through to the next round. But on the other hand I agree with you that the competition in the Champions League is very tight, and for now I also think the squad they have is not strong enough when compared to other clubs here. and the problem is when they have to lose players due to injury, it will add to their problems.
