Last season Barca was able to appear very consistent in La Liga, but currently, Xavi must have another target in the Champions League.
entering the top 16 is very possible for Barcelona. but the competition after that will only be strong European teams which will be very difficult for Xavi. I hope Xavi can rotate some of his players in matches that look easy for them and prepare the best squad performance for the Champions League match. does not lower the quality of the players in the Barcelona squad. but Xavi must be aware of his team's current shortcomings.
The fact that Barcelona qualified was decided last season when they won La Liga and got into the first pot. As a result, the draw also turned out to be successful for them and they play in a group with Porto, Shakhtar and Antwerp. Here you have to try very, very hard not to get into one of the first two places. Further fate depends on the draw - if they have a strong opponent in the 1/8 finals, I would rather bet on it than on Barcelona.
Napoli announced all the tickets for the game between Napoli and Real Madrid were sold and we saw the fans of Napoli hardly supporting this team against Real Madrid we knew this match was going to be a hard game for Rudi Garcia and his players. On October 3rd, Napoli will host this game against Real Madrid in Diego Armando Maradona Stadium I think Napoli will have a hard game there unless they use the advantage of playing at home. Otherwise, Napoli will have no chance against Real Madrid.
It's a very interesting game but very hard to predict. Napoli was good but the overall quality owned by napoli is still below real madrid at this moment. The only problem if real madrid will be playing away which is put napoli at advantage over real madrid.
The strong mentality owned by real madrid will talk much here. Madrid known as away specialist and we will see what gameplay that will be used by real madrid. I will prefer to see real madrid focusing on its defence.
Real madrid can put counter attack as a way to win against napoli. napoli was not having proper defenders at this moment.
Vini and friends will able to be serious threat for napoli. The main mission from real madrid to play in the game as long as possible. Barcelona is now also still competing in the different league. Napoli was able beating lecce which was proving the club is in good shape right now.
Real madrid needs to have better compositions on its defenders. I hope that madrid will try to do something to beat napoli very soon.
