Although the Barcelona remained with the second square of the group G, added more points that five of the teams that will be in the bass drum 1 of the draw of the eighth
In the last day of the phase of groups of the Champions League, the Barcelona fell in the visit of the Juventus and lost the first square of the classification. It seemed impossible, in paper, that the Italians annotated three so many in the Camp Nou, taking in account that did not arrive in a good moment (suffered to win the Derby della Mole) and that in Europe, the Barça had showed a good level, that had surpassed to the Vechia Signora in the party of gone, in Turín, and had shattered to the Dynamo Kiev and Ferencváros.
The Juve surprised and added the three points (more three goals) that allowed him snatch him the first place to the Barça in the group G, what allows them be in the Bass drum 1 of the draw of this Monday that, definitely, would confront them to rivals less difficult. In the meantime, the Barcelona remained in a very complicated situation, with the possibility to confront to teams of maximum level, like the Bayern Munich, Manchester City or PSG.
What results surprising is that the culés, in spite of having remained in the second square, added more points that five of the teams that classified like first of group. The ones of Ronald Koeman won five of his six parties, what translated in 15 points, the same that the Juventus. Instead, the Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Dortmund and PSG added less.
The Bayern Munich and Manchester City, that won five meetings and empataron one, are the only two teams that accumulated more points that the blaugrana. The ones of Flick only lost two units in the visit to Wanda Metropolitan, when empataron by the minimum in front of the Athletic of Madrid. The English by his part, also achieved the victory in all his clashes, less in the visit to the Stadium Do Dragao, when they remained in tables in front of the Port wine.
Of rest, any team surpassed the 14 points to classify: the Real Madrid (group B) remained with 10, the Liverpool (group D) with 13, Chelsea (group And) with 14, Borussia Dortmund (group F) with 13 and the Paris Saint-Germain (group H) with 12 units.
The errors punish to the Barça
Maybe, if Clément Lenglet had not committed the unnecessary fault inside the area for the penal that derived the 0-3 of the Juventus, the history would be very distinct. Or perhaps, also, if the team had not remained so touched anímicamente after the shameful derrrota in front of the Cádiz, where an error in the clear of Óscar Mingueza, and another error in the exit of a balloon by the band, in which Jordi Alba, Lenglet and Ter Stegen made a mistake, the Barcelona had gone to look for the party from the first minute in front of the Vechia Signora.
The situation of the Barça in Champions of face to the draw is very complicated. The possible rival are of maximum level and the options, to day of today, are negative for the culés. However, the good news is that in Can Barça will have little more than two months for revertir the situation and show a better level that allow them compete in Europe (and in LaLiga, also).
