They are definitely starting to focus more on UCL now.
Barcelona won the match against Napoli in round 16. In the second leg, Barcelona was ahead 3 - 1 from Napoli.
Scoring the first goal thanks to 20-year-old Fermin Lopez, Barcelona used this advantage very well. After Lewandowski's last goal, Napoli's hopes were already over. It was good for Barcelona to pass the round, but who they will match with in the next round will be important for the UCL. Barcelona may rotate in the league for those 2 matches.
Being the host in the second leg really benefited Barcelona. Not only that, Xavi really improved the strategy they implemented previously, and it worked very effectively. Barcelona's victory over Napoli was indeed quite impressive, but what you said is true. To what extent will Barcelona be able to survive in the UCL. Cz after all, the competition there will be increasingly difficult.
Yes, they are quite aware of this. They will not be able to chase the La Liga title again this season. The points are quite far apart and there are not enough matches left. what they can try to do in La Liga is to immediately take over Girona's position in second position. So after all, they are still below Real Madrid.
After four years, Barcelona finds itself once again in the Champions League quarterfinals. This time, they successfully defeated Napoli with a score of three goals to one, demonstrating their readiness for this year's Champions League. However, their performance in La Liga hasn't been as impressive, with Girona currently ahead of them and Real Madrid even further ahead. Barcelona seems to be putting in more effort in the Champions League than in La Liga.
Yes, this is rapid progress for Barcelona. especially this season, their performance has often been underestimated in La Liga, even Xavi seemed quite desperate a few weeks ago, and he'll leave Barcelona at the end of this season. But, Barcelona's success in getting to the quarter finals is truly amazing. And even in conditions like this, Xavi is truly capable of bringing Barcelona this far. Is it possible that Xavi will have other considerations and stay next season at the club?
One again La Liga club that follow Real Madrid and Barcelona to the quarter final of UCL.
Big congratulations to Atletico Madrid.
