Im scared about Barcelona's season. Last year, their emphasis on La Liga paid off, but this year, their Champions League goals seem to be stretching them. Due to this, their La Liga performance has suffered. The team's fluctuating outcomes reflect its divided energy and resources. Do they sacrifice domestic performance for European glory?
They should balance, in my opinion. Barcelona must meet high standards due to its La Liga and Champions League heritage. Managing these competitions is difficult, but a top club can do it. Strategy and prioritisation are needed, but they have the skill.
I don't think so, but indeed their performance is not so good this season with all the problems they have and that does not happen in the La Liga match alone, if we pay close attention to the actual performance of Barcelona in the UCL match is also not so good it's just that they are a little lucky Join the team that is not so strong in the group phase.
The balance will definitely be carried out by a team if they have good strength and performance in the team but with Barcelona's condition like now, they are almost impossible to be able to do that, this is purely a decline in performance from them not because of priority.
Barcelona's poor performance was also caused by several of their mainstay players having been injured alternately since last month. This has a big influence on their own performance. Both in the domestic league and in the UCL. Because it is true that Xavi seems to be prioritizing the UCL this season. But I'm sure he also doesn't want Barcelona to get bad results in Laliga. But Barcelona has actually gotten a little worse lately. And indeed not only in Laliga but also in UCL. Like in their last match in the group stage yesterday.
But maybe when the round of 16 starts then the Barcelona squad will return to their best performance. Because Xavi seems to really want to achieve success at UCL. After last season, Xavi succeeded in making Barcelona win the title in Laliga. So it's time for him to also make history at UCL.
