Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?
Yes,In UCL Barcelona suffered defeat against Monaco. However, in my personal opinion, Barcelona cannot be said to not have strong competitiveness in international competitions, because there were many reasons underlying Barcelona's defeat in the match against Monaco. Like Barcelona who lost the number of players to Monaco because Barcelona only played with 10 people, because one of the Barcelona players got a red card at the start of the first half. Apart from that, several important Barcelona players such as Dani Olmo also suffered injuries and were unable to take part in the match. So because of that, I think it's natural that Barcelona lost that match. Then talking about Barcelona's match against Villarreal, in my opinion it could be said to be an extraordinary thing. Because being able to win with a score of 5-1 is a very epic record in my opinion. So there is no doubt that Barcelona will most likely be a very strong team in Laliga. And regarding Barcelona's fate in the UCL, I think in the next match Barcelona will pay for yesterday's defeat with a win. The reason is that in the next match Barcelona will face a team that is not too strong in the UCL. So with this I am very optimistic that Barcelona can definitely win this match.
