The FC Barcelona has lived an irregular season regarding game and results, but part of the fans still thinks that it can win the Champions League

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Champions League always has been a competition impredecible and anybody knows how will culminate in an exceptional situation like the one of now. Only we can us base in the derivative perceptions of the results and feelings that has gone leaving the FC Barcelona along the present season 2019-20; a cumulus of irregularities that do more difficult to know, if it fits, what sucederá with the future of the team culé in the maximum European competition of clubs.

In 'FCBN' wanted to know which is the opinion of our readers, if they think that the FC Barcelona will arrive far in this atypical edition of the League of Champions or if, by the contrary, think that it will fall at first or in back rounds to the eighth of final, taking into account that so only has to surpass to the Naples in the Camp Nou to be in quarter-finals.

After a so irregular season, surprises that the 39 percent of the readers that participated in our survey thinks that the FC Barcelona will win the Champions League. A very high percentage in relation to the game and the results of the team, that are considered insufficient even for Leo Messi. Nevertheless, the moderate optimism seem to have installed in the barcelonismo.

On the other hand, only a 15 percent of the respondents thinks that the FC Barcelona will be deleted in eighth of final against the Naples, whereas 31% thinks that the culés yes will delete to the napolitanos but will finish falling in quarter-finals against the Bayern of Munich (that has his eliminatory against Chelsea almost done. Besides, 12% thinks that the FC Barcelona will arrive until semifinals, whereas 3% thinks that will arrive to the final and will lose it.

No always it wins the favourite

In spite of everything, if something has showed the Champions League along the last years is that the favouritisms do not serve of at all. And if no, that ask it to him to a Real Madrid that erigió champion of his last three 'orejonas' without being favourite in the majority of them, and surpassing always to other groups that came playing better that they along the season.

In a competition like the Champions League, and even more in the present edition (with eliminatory to only party), everything will measure by small details. And the fact that the Barça explain in the staff with players like Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, Griezmann, Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig, Busquets and company, that aúnan youth, experience and talent, can decant the scales anytime. Maybe all this takes it into account this 39 percent.
