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.
Barcelona is not a team that can manage two competitions at the same time and win both. Their performances from last season and this season are vastly different and cannot be compared. In comparison to last season, their performance this season has been average. If they performed as well as they did last season, they could win at least one of the trophies in the competitions they are currently competing in. But, based on their current performance, I doubt they will win a trophy this season unless they improve.
PSG has a better chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals than Real Sociedad. I'm not underestimating Sociedad, but based on the depth of the squad between the two teams, I think PSG is better prepared to win the match and qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Sociedad's performance this season is very good, but I somehow believe that Real Sociedad's journey in the Champions League this season will only reach the round of 16 after being drawn to PSG as their opponent.
PSG's meeting with Real Soceidad in the round of 16 is an easy path to the competition's quarterfinals. Real Soceidad did well to reach this stage of the competition, but by scheduling a match with PSG, they will find it difficult to advance to the next round. Football is full of miracles, but I still doubt Real Soceidad will be able to eliminate PSG at this stage and qualify ahead of them.
