#4 Sort out the striker problems
Barcelona has two strikers in their arsenal -- one is the young Paco Alcacer, and another is the only person to have beaten Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, twice for the golden boot. Yet, he was only a faint shadow of his brilliant past last season. If Barcelona is to win the UCL, the team simply can’t have a misfiring striker leading the attack. Luis Suarez needs to step up.
Maybe the absence of Neymar’s creativity affected him or it might have been Barcelona’s defensive approach. Either way, there won't be the two excuses this season. Philippe Coutinho can create chances like Neymar, perhaps better chances than his Brazilian compatriot. This season, Barcelona don’t look like they’re going to play defensive, as Ernesto Valverde has learnt from his mistakes.
The stage is set. It’s time for Luis Suarez to show why he was once regarded as the best striker on the planet.
