Even though Barcelona said they will focus on the domestic league this season, aiming for the La Liga title, they know they won’t be able to achieve that. We have all seen that the pressure coming from Real Madrid is not the same as the previous season, so it will not be as easy as last season when Real Madrid were struggling with poor performances and injuries, which was one of the reasons Barcelona were able to dominate the title, even though I know Flick did a good job in managing them.
So you believe it was easy for Barcelona last season? They won the trophy because Madrid was struggling and not because they were good? Funny.
Barcelona was one of the best teams I Europe last season, and as it stands now, they have shown more pressure to win La Liga than Real Madrid. How do you say a team like Barcelon "know they won't be able to achieve the domestic league his season"? Even when they were in bad form, they believed they could win the league; talk more now they're in good form.
I won't be surprised if Barcelona finds this season's La Liga easier than last season, because last season was Flick's first season
Furthermore, Barcelona will only do their best in the Champions League this season, but I don’t think they will be able to win the trophy this time, due to my personal reasons and my consideration of Barcelona’s current performance and the pressure of the season.
I don't know how the season is going to be, I don't know how teams will perform, but right now, if I'm to pick 3 favourites for the Champions League, Barcelona will be one of them. They were among the top 3 best teams last season, and I believe they will be among the best teams this season too. You talk about their current performance like they're performing poorly.
