Barcelona now has two tournaments left, La Liga and the Europa League. Barcelona's run in LaLiga has not been so good this season, Xavi's squad is far behind Real Madrid, who are in 1st place in the standings, so their chances of chasing Real Madrid's points are very unlikely.
Barcelona recently have some great improvements and move straight on the table but it is too optimistic to think they will be able to make unbelievable race with Real Madrid and win La Liga. They have good form but Real Madrid don't show that they have deacreasing form. They don't give opportunity to Barcelona to hunt them too easily.
The Europa League Cup is the only hope left for Barcelona this season, the Europa League Trophy is a realistic target that Barcelona can pursue at the end of the season. Winning the Europa League would also give Barcelona qualification for next season's Champions League if Barcelona fail to finish in the top four in the league. Barcelona hopes with Xavi Hernandez should bring home the Trophy at the end of the competition and qualify for the Champions League next season.
Europa League is a more easily target for Barcelona. Arsenal and Roma are
next big competitors for Barcelona. But they must beat Galatasaray in second leg to go farther.
Barcelona have enough power to beat Arsenal and Roma if they have to play against these clubs. Winning Europa League can help them to have a tittle and a ticket to Champions League.
If you said that two seasons ago maybe I would have believed what you said, but if you said this season barcelona easily beat arsenal and roma, I doubt it...!
Because so far I see Barcelona performance is not as good as last season.
BTW, do you understand what you are saying?
If Barcelona have to face Galatasaray to qualify for the next round, I agree with that, however, I don't understand why Barcelona have to face Galatasaray first before facing Arsenal and Roma?
Because as far as I know barcelona plays in a different competition from arsenal and rome, arsenal currently only plays in the premier league and they don't play in the european league at this time, while roma they play in the serie A and conference leagues and of course the three teams will never against each other this season
