The Mystery of Performance Differences between Barcelona in LaLiga and the Champions League Has Not Been Revealed

DBasia.news – Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admits that he has not been able to reveal the factors that make his team perform so badly in the Spanish LaLiga, but in the Champions League this season.

Ahead of facing Osasuna, of the eight matches Barcelona has played in LaLiga, they have only tasted three wins. The remaining three matches ended in defeat and two draws. As a result, Barcelona is scattered in 14th place in the Spanish League with 11 points.

The bad result is inversely proportional to what happened to Barcelona in the Champions League. In the four matches that have been played, the Blaugrana have been able to reap the perfect results. Even Barcelona could beat Juventus 2-0.

The two contrasting notes made Koeman couldn’t help thinking. Koeman can only expect Barcelona to appear more confident when playing in the Champions League.

“It is not easy to know what is behind the differences in Barcelona’s game between the Champions League and LaLiga. It could be that in the Spanish League our opponents play more defensively and in Europe, our opponents are much more open,” Koeman said as quoted by Marca.

“Only at the end of the season, we can only judge what is really going on. The point is the team really doesn’t deserve to lose that many points in LaLiga. I feel we are more confident playing in the Champions League,” said Koeman.
