lost to Bayern at home, Barcelona announced in advance that they would switch to Europa League , after spending 150 million to expand their troops; Champions League group stage was an unacceptable result for Barcelona fans.
In this summer, Barcelona signed several new players in the form of "burning the future". On the defense line, the team introduced four powerful stars, Jules Conde, Christensen, Bellerin, and Marcos Alonso. In the midfield position, there was Frank Casey to shoot as a free agent; in the frontcourt, Barcelona poached the leading star from Bayern Lewandowski , and also took Rafina at a high price of 58 million euros. The team's strength should have improved compared to last season.
Barcelona's seven signings are all based on "immediate combat power" and are not potential stocks bought for the future, especially Lewandowski. The peak period of this 34-year-old center is only two years at most, so it is reasonable to have requirements for Barcelona's performance at this moment.
This season, the team has a very good performance when facing teams at the first and second level. It can also be considered rampant in the La Liga arena, and it defeats its opponent with Lewandowski's strong goal ability. Since the start of the season, the Polish striker has scored 17 goals in 16 games and performed well. However, in the strong match, neither he nor the team was able to perform at the level and only knew how to "devil good and fear evil".
In five Champions League games, Barcelona's two pairs of Bayern also returned with an egg, losing 0-2 in one game; losing 0-3 in the other game, and the game scene was completely unconvincing. The team's midfield hardness and defense are insufficient, so it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent. Pedri, Garvey, and Frenki de Jong are all purely technical players (Garvey is a little better), Busquets's condition is no longer as good as he was in his prime; Frank Casey is not very valued. Although he played well against Bayern, he has not played any game before, and his condition is doubtful. The lack of control in the midfield and the lack of hardness are the reason why Barcelona are given a request when facing a strong team.
The future of the team is burning, but the team's performance has not reached the expected heights in La Liga or the Champions League. In the league, the team is always under the pressure of Real Madrid , and the strength gap between the two teams is also seen in the national derby ; in the European game, the team needs to switch to the second-level Europa League, which means that the broadcast fee and bonuses obtained by the team from the European game are further reduced, which will definitely make the team's finances worse. This team, the strongest on the ground in the past, has become a laughing stock for fans.
