Per body: Barcelona must win all remaining games and score 9 points to have a chance to advance directly to the top 16 of the Champions League

On November 26, the Western media "Daily Sports" reported that Barcelona must win all remaining games and score 9 points to have a chance to directly advance to the top 16 of the Champions League.

In the fifth round of the Champions League, Chelsea defeated Barcelona 3-0. This game was Barcelona's fourth defeat of the season, after losing to Paris, Sevilla and Real Madrid.

They lost 5 points in the Champions League last season, and have lost 8 points so far this season. After five rounds, they have 7 points and must win all remaining 9 points. Next, they will face Frankfurt, Slavia Prague and Copenhagen respectively. If they get 9 points, Barcelona's total points will reach 16 points. That's exactly how many points the eighth-placed team earned last season.

The competition for direct promotion places will be more intense this season, and Barcelona must show a better state than in London. They will work hard to do that as players gradually return. Joan Garcia has started the last two games, with Rafinha also getting game time against Bilbao and Chelsea, and it is hoped that key players like Pedri will be back for next weekend's game against Alaves.

At that time, only the long-term injured, Garvey and Ter Stegen will be left. Flick will have more options to deal with the dual challenges of the league and the Champions League. In addition, Flick must continue to improve high pressing and high defensive tactics, which also did not fully work at Stamford Bridge.
