"Barcelona genuinely had a great chance of winning it. What do they still lack for me? A more solid defence. At a collective level, when they face matches, they don't mind carrying the weight of the game."
"They control the play, they have attacking resolution and a good average of goals scored per match, but they concede quite a few on the counter-attack, and in Europe that is crucial."
"In Europe, once you reach the quarter-finals, semi-finals or a possible final, you need more defensive solidity."
Barcelona has a strong chance of winning this year but needs to improve its defense. The team controls play well and has a good scoring average, yet they concede goals, especially on counter-attacks. This defensive weakness is critical in European matches, particularly in the later stages like quarter-finals and semi-finals. A more solid defense is necessary for Barcelona to advance further in these competitions.
