Despite losing Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, the Catalan giants still have one of the best and balanced squads in Europe. However, their complacency and poor mentality have cost them games in the past couple of years.

They took Roma lightly after the quarter-final first leg win last season and paid heavily for it. It happened for the second year running and Valverde absolutely had no idea to stop it from happening.

Pep Guardiola's or Luis Enrique's Barcelona came back hard when pushed against the wall but this side doesn't have the mental strength to do it. They score goals and dominate games but when the opposition hit back, they simply have no answers.

It was a school-boy error for the fourth Liverpool goal on Tuesday and this fragile Barcelona mentality will cost them more than the Champions League.
