3 things which could destroy Barcelona's season
With the way things are going at the moment, it looks as if Catalan giants, FC Barcelona, are having a great season this term. La Blaugrana are currently sitting on top of the LaLiga table with 31 points in 15 games, and they were also the first side to qualify for the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League after making qualification look very easy despite being drawn with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, and PSV Eindhoven in a group of death.
Moreover, the likes of Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele, Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho, Jordi Alba, Arthur Melo, and Ivan Rakitic are firing on all cylinders at the moment - pushing the team forward with incredible effort and giving the Blaugrana faithful a reason to believe they are in for a great campaign this season.
But while several pointers suggest that Barcelona are primed to shine during the term, there are also some difficulties facing the Catalan giants that could inspire a negative turnaround. Therefore lets quickly take a look at 3 things which could hinder the LaLiga champions from achieving a great campaign.
#3 Inconsistency
Barcelona are sitting on top of the LaLiga table right now, and they have also qualified for the next phase of the UEFA Champions League, but their level of performance in both competitions is not as impressive as their achievements suggest.
While they have managed to ride on the brilliance of Lionel Messi to cover their blushes in the Champions League, it is in the LaLiga their inconsistency has been widely exposed - with the defending champions having recorded a disappointing 4 draws and 2 defeats already in just 15 games so far - a series of results well below their standards.
And if they keep producing under-par displays like the one we saw against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League, sooner or later, a repeat of what happened in Rome last season could come up and destroy a perfect-going season.
