Barcelona’s chances of winning the Champions League trophy this season may have been downplayed by coach Hansi Flick, but the team remains focused on their upcoming match against Benfica and addressing their weaknesses. Currently, Liverpool leads the standings with a perfect 18 points, followed by Barcelona in second place with 15 points.
In the Champions League, 16 teams are competing in two-leg playoffs to secure a spot in the round of 16. Benfica, currently in 15th place with 10 points, will face a tough challenge against Barcelona.
Flick remains cautious about Barcelona’s chances in the competition, acknowledging the strength of teams like Liverpool. Despite their success in the Champions League, Barcelona is struggling in La Liga, sitting in third place with 39 points from 20 games.
After a recent four-game losing streak in the league, Barcelona is determined to bounce back and secure a victory against Benfica. Flick is optimistic about the team’s performance and is looking forward to playing at Benfica’s stadium, where he previously won the Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2020.
While Barcelona’s La Liga results may not reflect their performance on the field, Flick is confident in the team’s abilities and is focused on securing crucial points in the competition. With the goal of avoiding the playoffs by finishing in the top eight, Barcelona is determined to make a strong push in the Champions League.
As the season progresses, Barcelona will face tough challenges in multiple competitions, but Flick is determined to lead the team to success. The upcoming match against Benfica will be a crucial test for Barcelona as they strive to secure a spot in the round of 16 and continue their pursuit of Champions League glory.
