""Barça can compete for La Liga, but not for the Champions League, not at all. Does anyone believe they can win this title with this defence? Impossible," he stated. "We saw it against Inter. How can you concede seven goals in a Champions League semi-final?" he asked rhetorically."
""Barcelona is like a casino, they have bet everything on Lamine Yamal," he continued. "Barcelona must trust Lamine Yamal today, and they have quality players, but not world-class stars like Leo Messi. Lamine can't win the Champions League alone. With all due respect, Messi couldn't do it without Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol..." he added."
""Now everything is largely based on Lamine Yamal. They have top-level players at Barcelona, but they don't have world-class players, like Leo Messi was in his time." "Can you win the Champions League with these defenders? Impossible! It's impossible. They concede a lot of goals."
Barcelona can compete for La Liga but cannot win the Champions League with the current defence and style of play. The team conceded seven goals across a Champions League semi-final tie with Inter Milan, exposing significant defensive frailties. The current campaign includes two group-stage defeats (against PSG and Chelsea) and a draw with Club Brugge. The squad places heavy reliance on teenager Lamine Yamal as the primary creative and attacking outlet. The team retains several top-level players but lacks multiple world-class stars from past eras. Winning Europe requires consistent elite performers across the pitch, particularly at the back, which the current roster does not provide.
