I can confirm your assumption, it is proven by how Barcelona ended the 3 matches so far. Barcelona certainly still finds it difficult to win every match considering their limping squad. The injury storm they are currently experiencing is really bad, but thankfully they can still use their talented young players to win.
Exactly. However, when their mainstay player is Citra, of course this will have an impact on the club's performance. Especially if they are the core players for the club. In the case of Barcelona, fortunately, it seems that some of their injured players, especially Lewandowski, may be able to compete during El Classico. This is certainly good news for Barcelona because after all, Lewandowski's role up front is very important and very significant. Because after all, Barcelona must be in a fit situation and have a full team when facing Real Madrid, which in fact is their strongest enemy in La Liga.
Let's see that in the upcoming match. I don't wanna talk about UCL caused by barcelona has not yet gotten a strong opponent. Let it to face bayern again and barcelona will be destroyed by die rotten. Im sure that if anyone know that so well about how barcelona was always losing with huge scores against bayern.
Anyway, here we are discussing Barcelona's strength in the group phase where Barcelona is the strongest of the four teams in Group H. Not to under estimate other teams, but if you look at their strength statistics and also the composition of their players on paper, Barcelona won't do it anymore if they are the strongest group in the group. Just look at how Barcelona plays in this group, they can always be optimal to win. If it is related to round 16, we cannot be sure or predict whether Barcelona can get through round 16 and beyond smoothly or not. Because after all, if you have entered the 16th round, the competition will definitely be tighter and there are many other clubs that have been very strong so far. Not only Barcelona but also all the teams in the UCL when they start in the 16th round they have to work extra hard to move on to the next qualifying phase which incidentally will definitely not be easy and will be more difficult than the group phase.
