I believe the team will be doing their utmost in bringing it home, just like they do with every trophy they play for. Two Copa games won't hurt our chances.

If we had zero injury issues, I would agree with you. But with so many key players out, we need to conserve as much as possible. Chelsea will be a dangerous opponent.

I usually agree with you on most things, but what did he say wrong there. CL for clubs is the same thing as WC for nations. Of course it's the most important tournament. Winning it makes history. Winning La liga, especially for Barca, is just another day in the office.

These injuries are killing us. We're not going to have enough quality players to face Chelsea next month.

Potentially could have one player missing that has barely played this season.
Going a bit overboard about injury situation.

No it's not, a club like real won 2 league titles in the last 9 seasons.
You should appreciate the supremacy we have in Spain, la liga is not a one-horse race like serie a or bundesliga, we compete against real and atletico every year.

I think he means the Copa has always been important in Barcas history, we have the most wins of any other team
No idea why we don't simply play the second eleven in this competition . It's basically meaningless in comparison to the others and it would give the fringe players some much needed playing time and a chance to showcase themselves

We shouldn't get complacent, this game should be a kick up the butt. But if anything reminds me is the terrible one month we had in our 15/16. Hope we don't go into another slump like that when its the crucial period of the season.

Look, there is a thing called reality and there is also virtue-signalling.
The reality is that the CL is the most important trophy in club football by several orders of magnitude. The virtue-signalling part is when a person clarifying this reality gets accused of being a glory-hunter.

We played good game, sometimes you lose. We didn't even have most of our starters. People shouldn't overreact.

So if they score first next week we will have to score three to win, right?

Yes.
Champions league is very important to win and does make people from around Europe take more notice than if you win la liga but the league proves who the best team is over the year. Real won the champions league in 2014 and 2016 but in my opinion they weren't the best team in Europe. Atletico and Barca won the league in those years beating real in clasicos and derbys along the way. Remember when real were getting constantly beaten by atletico and only drew with them in both champions league finals after 90 minutes. Bit of a rant I know but you get the point. Basically you do need luck for the champions league. One bad night and you could be knocked out

You can't win them all. And I'd much rather lose the Copa than the CL or La Liga.
