Champions League: The Barça expects a miracle!
There was no magical night at the Camp Nou because Barça did not beat Inter and it is very difficult to get to the round of 16 of the Champions League . Almost impossible. But there was emotion, passion and suspense. The culés suffered and no longer depend on themselves to continue in the maximum continental tournament, but they stood up to the end.
The season in Europe is not turning out as Xavi, the players and the Board of Directors expected. Except for a miracle, the Catalans will play the Europa League in 2023.
It was a night of suffering. Barça scored first, but could not and did not maintain the advantage and the three-way tie against Inzaghi ‘s men left the Catalans on the brink of the abyss: playing again, like last year, in the Europa League. Mathematically, the Catalans still have options to continue in the Champions League . But minimal. Very minimal. Inzaghi ‘s men need to win one of the two games that remain to be played in the group stage to be definitively second in group C, which is led by Bayern Munich.
The German team has won all four games and has 12 points. Inter has seven and Barça, four. Viktoria Plzen have not added any: they count their games by defeats.
In other words, the Catalans no longer depend on themselves to stay in the Champions League. They are in the hands of the Serie A bloc. If Inter wins Viktoria Plzen next day , Barcelona is already out of the tournament. Although he beat Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou. Only the defeat or the tie of the Italians, who also play in their stadium, would allow the Catalans to reach the last match of this phase with options. Matchday six, the last one, pits Barça against the Czech team and the Italians against the Germans.
Economy
Barcelona awaits , therefore, a miracle. Nobody in the Catalan club, neither Xavi nor the players nor the Board of Directors, expected to suffer so much in this phase and were sure that they would go through to the next round. The culé team has made a large financial outlay this summer to fight for titles, especially the Champions League . He has signed seven incorporations that have meant disbursing 143 million that could rise to 170 if some variables are met. In addition, the Barça institution budgeted to reach the quarterfinals, which implied the entry of more than 25.
