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.
The problem of Barcelona is inability to know their weakness and their strength. Xavi is a very good coach and we must surely give him his accolade when he took up the mantle of leadership in the Barcelona team, that was a point that coaches were afraid to take up that responsibility. We all can attest that during that period of time Barcelona was not only down in administrative structure but they were having financial crisis.
Since after Xavi became the coach of Barcelona he proved himself in the locally and was able to become a champion and it became his favorite to beat Real Madrid at some points. However his biggest challenge has been the European competition, severally and it did not work out. Instead of him to continue with his local good performance he traded it for European glory now both the local and European glory is nowhere to be found.
