Actually for me personally it doesn't matter when Barcelona fail in the Champions League, as long as they can be successful in La Liga (not necessarily a champion). But that can't be the case for Barcelona fans, they want to see Barcelona succeed in both competitions.
Xavi has just built Barcelona, so there's no need to aim high. It's not that they can't afford it, it's just that for a newly built club, playing aggressively and consistently is already good. They have the capital to navigate the next season, and that should be targeted so as not to interfere with them in the process of solidifying the club as a whole. For me the future is more important than having achievements that do not last long.
It's true, what we are witnessing today is the strong desire for Barcelona to win in both competitions seen by the fans. But we also do not impose even the quality of Barcelona which in transition will easily balance the big clubs which are more general in nature. Maybe if they fail in the Champions League they can focus more on La Liga. The Champions League event is indeed different and the target of a Xavi who believes in the formation of players now can target the Champions League. Whether it's true or not in the group stage, there is Bayern Munich who overshadows El Barca to defecate freely.
Right now they just need to focus on the knockout phase in the Champions League so that would be great because otherwise it's clear they will lose like they did last season.
But indeed, seeing the current conditions in the Champions League, they only need to maximize their good results against Inter, so that is more than enough for Barcelona to qualify in position 2.
Xavi will definitely fight for both major competitions if one of the competitions can be achieved I consider it to be Xavi's success at Barcelona and return to the original level where Barcelona became a strong team.
Agree. If Barcelona wins the La Liga title or UCL title, we can conclude that Xavi is successful to manage Barcelona this season. Xavi needs to prove his success in building Barcelona squad with a prestigious title. The UCL title is the most prestigious one, but the La Liga title is also very necessary to achieve.
This is clearly a difficult target but they can still do it, at least they have to bring 1 trophy to cover the loss from their purchase which is actually very risky to make them go in and dig their own grave in financial.
