That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now
The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..?
I think he was right about that. I meant even laporta itself has complained about the income that will be getting barcelona will be far less compared when barcelona would still play at the champion league. The problem caused by barcelona was playing in the europa league caused by it was getting degrade due to the unable to be qualified in the group qualifier. I think that you shall also watch what laporta said about that. He has been writing his disappointment with the result from barcelona that has gone to the europa league. You should read what already said by laporta. Barcelona was still in financial crisis and any potential income would be far important rather than trophy
But you should also be able to realize that football is not only about income, because trophies in football are still the main thing. If you play football only to pursue the highest achievements then you are wrong, because no team can win the highest title every season.
Therefore, every team must be aware of the capabilities of their own team, if they only have the chance to be able to get a lower trophy then there's nothing wrong with being their main target as another option.
Because to restore a team's income, it's clear they have to be able to get one trophy every season. So, the Europa League remains an important trophy that Barcelona must get rather than nothing.
It's funny to say or assume the Europa League trophy doesn't matter because after all, every trophy is important and if they don't get it they are still seen as underperforming and failing to capture the revenue that might also come from sponsors.
In essence, if a team feels unimportant in playing in a certain tournament, then they can go and let their opponent walk out (WO) to win, does Barcelona dare to do that?
If Barcelona thinks the Europa League is not important, then let the opposing team win and Barcelona don't need to come to the field or don't need to come to the match, and at least that way Barcelona doesn't need to spend money.
