It’s tough to knock the quality season that Barcelona is having, particularly in the Champions League. They overcame a tough group featuring Spurs and Inter Milan to defeat a surging Lyon side in the Round of 16.

With Ronaldo’s departure, Messi has re-established himself as the best player in La Liga and could lead his side to the treble this season. This is a talented and star-studded Barcelona side with experience all over the pitch. Players like Messi, Luis Suarez, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba all know what it takes at this level.

Given their extreme likelihood of a league title this season, Barca can also afford to rest players and focus primarily on the Champions League. Whilst they should get through Man United comfortably, a potentially tough Semi against Liverpool awaits.
