Barcelona is atop La Liga with 28 points alongside bitter rivals Real Madrid. The team also comes into this matchday first in its group. That still won’t quell the panic emitting from its supporters regarding the form and style of play of the club so far this season. A slow start out of the gate without Lionel Messi put pressure on Ernesto Valverde. Since returning to full fitness, the team’s results have improved, but the performances haven’t lived up to the lofty standards it has set for itself. The dominant and attractive style has not been there. Just scraping by opponents is not good enough for Barcelona and its fans.
Dortmund has had its own struggles that have seen the team drop down to sixth in the Bundesliga. Reports coming out of Germany state that embattled manager Lucien Favre could be managing for his job in this clash with Barcelona. A loss could potentially be devastating on several fronts. Qualifying for the knockout rounds isn’t guaranteed with a big club like Inter Milan still able to catch up in the group. Failing to advance to the Round of 16 would be a catastrophic blow for a club that has a ton of talent and ambition.
