The Barça needs to increase his level

The FC Barcelona pretends to give the hit in the Champions League, although the team has to improve to be competitive against the biggest. The picture of Quique Setién has not showed, by the moment, neither the defensive consistency neither the offensive potential that had antaño. The speed of circulation of the balloon is not the sufficiently fast, something that does that the team was predictable in attack and remain exposed in the contragolpes.

The antidote for all this is the enormous talent that has the staff culé, although it also will have to have better luck with the injuries that the one who has had until the moment (something difficult after the stop). The technicians and the players know that this team has potential to face up to any rival, reason by which expects that the level of game showed until final of season go of less to more.
