Maybe they are much better off focusing on La Liga because the Champions League is too heavy for Barcelona now if the formation of players is not so fully supported. Xavi expectations were considered excessive, and even his performance with Inter was worse than against Bayern.
That is what I think about Barcelona. I think they don't have much focus on Champions league like the way they focus on laliga . I know Inter is not a weak team , expected them to be tough to Barcelona, but I was still expecting a goal from Barcelona players to win the match . Barcelona performance was not impressive and Barcelona had opportunities to make out goals but they missed all. They need to look for a way to improve against the next match they will be playing.

I really have no words to say about Ajax. I wasn't expecting them to play this much badly against Napoli in a home match. Napoli brought the score to 5-1 until the red card already and finished the job by 6-1 later on. This is an embarrassing result for a team that are one of the effective attacking teams normally. Maybe their defending was terrible but Ajax could have at least try to be better at scoring goals. They didn't show much existence right in front of their supporters.
After this horrible result I think they don't deserve next round at all. Liverpool and Napoli would reach next stage in the tournament as Liverpool also started to win in the group matches.

To be honest ...today ...I can't see Chelsea winning the game or even taking points from the game with AC.Milan because Milan is back on track , playing great football with offensive style and they are a team that continue to rise for 3 years already. Chelsea...they had luck in EPL to win that game and I don't see them having any more luck tonight and Chelsea fans should be worried about their club performance in the next coming years.
Yes indeed, I also doubt Chelsea even though this match will be played at Stamford Bridge but it looks like Chelsea are still unable to get out of the stalemate they are currently experiencing. Instead of targeting for full points, I think the very close end result for this match is sharing points because even so, at least Chelsea will always have the power not to lose for the second time at home. But if Chelsea have the ability to win then that is something good, because the competition in Group E is still tight because the points difference is still very close. 
Inter vs Barca game is boring enough? I have to look at it from the audience's point of view. Xavi may apply the pattern of play as usual with dominant possession of the ball. but it was anticipated by Inter. Barca didn't get many chances. even only made 7 shots with 2 on target.
I also don't think Xavi has ambitions for the Champions League. their focus is La Liga. they want to restore Barca's glory in La Liga. Xavi won't think too hard about the Champions League.
Is it possible for a Xavi Hernandez to ignore Europe's biggest tournament? Of course I don't think so mate. Xavi Hernandez will make the UEFA Champions League and La Liga his targets this season with Barca.I also don't think Xavi has ambitions for the Champions League. their focus is La Liga. they want to restore Barca's glory in La Liga. Xavi won't think too hard about the Champions League.
Inter Milan's victory over Barcelona was only due to the luck factor. In the 66th minute VAR annulled Barcelona's goal through Pedri's kick because it was considered Ansu Fati's handball. I think VAR is problematic in this regard.

Barcelona should have won even with this canceled goal due to VAR, especially since Inter are not in the best shape right now. But Inter really got lucky this evening, it happens sometimes. And Napoli all proved that they are the best in their group and now after this confident victory at Ajax, it seems that the victory at Liverpool was not an accident, Napoli are really the best!

It looks like a lot of easy games tonight and I think we will not see any surprise result or maybe just one or two but not more like yesterday night where the results of the games were not what everyone was expecting.
The match I'm most interested in is Chelsea vs AC Milan. The group but clubs are in are still open and anybody wining this game tonight has an advantage in qualifying from the group. Chelsea hasn't had an impressive start to the tournament but I'm hoping they can defeat AC Milan and be in the same point with them considering, Chelsea haven't lost their most recent European home matches against Italian opponents (W8 D3), their last two defeats were in the 2010's decade. Chelsea has improved under the new management as we can see the hunger from the boys in wanting to win the games they have played and it payed off against their last opponent.
Ac Milan is currently at the top of the group meaning there's more pressure on Chelsea winning this game then, AC Milan winning. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just got his first goal for Chelsea in the 2-1 win against crystal palace and I would love to see him continue scoring by getting more than one goal in this fixture to boost his confidence as he's wearing the No9 jersey which seems to have a curse since the last players to wear that number didn't do well.
In group E we will see an unusual match between AC Milan Vs Chelsea. This match certainly garnered attention where the two clubs only met twice, namely in the 1999-2000 Champions League Season. The first meeting on 15 September 1999 with a 0:0 draw and the second meeting on 26 October 1999 with a 1:1 result, so the two have not yet beaten each other even though it was Chelsea who lost from the group stage.

After 23 years of waiting, next week they will meet again with a different fate, where AC Milan leads the group standings and Chelsea is in 4th position. Going to stick with Chelsea's current state I think will be a tough task for Graham Potter. The positive point for Graham Potter is that several AC Milan players have been absent, which is a bit of an advantage if Chelsea can play optimally.
Yesterday’s defeat was expected, Viktoria Pizen do not stand a chance against the other three teams in the group, Barcelona, Inter milan and Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich now have an upper hand in the group with 12 points at the top of the group leaving Inter Milan and Barcelona to fight for the second spot in the group and who to qualify to the next round of 16 stages.
Xavi gives too much promise before the match was starting. He said that barcelona would be even more aggressive compared when it was against bayern but the fact that barcelona was loosing against intermilan. So far barcelona was only collecting three points while bayern was 9. The barcelona must win in the rest of matches or it will not go to the top 16. That proves that how aggressive barcelona in la liga didn't mean barcelona can do the same in the champion league. I have said before, this is a crucial game for Barcelona even though they have a positive trend in the domestic league. but with the absence of several core players who are injured Barcelona will be very overwhelmed in last night's match.
Inter Milan was able to match Barcelona's game, where every time they had a chance, they didn't waste an opportunity every time they attacked, as a result Barcelona conceded.
Barcelona midfielder was really bad last night especially Sergio Busguets, Marco Alonso also played badly. Even though the ball possession match was owned by Barcelona, however, every attack that was built did not produce a shot on target.
With this result, Barcelona's chances are getting further away to qualify for the next phase.

If we look at the performance shown by Barcelona against Inter, it is clear that the potential to qualify is quite difficult. Xavi may have to lose Barcelona style of play due to the absence of his core players. Maybe they are much better off focusing on La Liga because the Champions League is too heavy for Barcelona now if the formation of players is not so fully supported. Xavi expectations were considered excessive, and even his performance with Inter was worse than against Bayern.

The Clube Brugge team is my fantasy team! Bruges fans are loving the Champions League right now, following three straight victories. A 9-point margin separates them from two former European Champions in their group.
Oh yes
That's where the fun comes from. A small tourist city close to Belgian coast competes with a huge legends. I did not expect the result (so far) will be as good as it is, but I am really glad, I wish them all the best.Barcelona is like a Polish National Team - they started to believe Lewandowski will solve all the problems.
They are now quite comfortable with their position and actually for the second match later with the other three clubs. A draw could already take them to the knockout phase.

The result of Club Brugge vs ATM is totally something I did not expect. If there was people that I expected to have a straight win, it was Liverpool and ATM. I don't know what happened in the match because I didn't watch it. Could it be because Simeone left the pitch in the first half?
I don't know what to say about Barcelona, but i know they are really in danger zone. Lewandowski is supposed to get goals in champions league that's why he was bought

Barcelona needs 3 wins in order to get out of the group stage. How are they going to win against Bayern? The Bavarian team is like a machine. Getting rid of Lewandowski didn't have any negative impact on Bayern. The attackers of the German team and their effectiveness of scoring goals is superb.
I didn't expect Ajax to suffer such a humiliating defeat from Napoli on their own stadium. There's something wrong with the Dutch team, I guess.
I was disappointed to see that Atletico Madrid had lost their match against Club Brugge. Diego Simeone's team had lost it's consistency and is capable of losing against every opponent.

Of the four teams in Group C of the Champions League at this time, there are two teams that are under heavy pressure to get a win in the next match. They are Barcelona and Viktoria Pizen who both need to get wins in the remaining matches in the group stage before being declared through to the round of 16.And I think they both have to struggle with playing better in order to get points and a better position from where they are now.
now there is a fierce competition between Barcelona and Inter Milan, even though Barcelona lost to Inter Milan but the difference in points is only 3 and with 3 more matches anything is still possible, this will be fierce between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
