Afellay returns to Barcelona

Barcelona are back in the Champions League after a long absence, and it is now the club’s task to win the coveted trophy. The team has been in the top-4 for the past two years, and the fans are hoping for a third triumph.
In the current campaign, the team has a good lineup and is able to create a good game, but the main problem is the lack of motivation. The players are tired of the long and difficult tournament distance, which is why they are not able to perform at their best.
However, the main thing for the team is the fact that it has a new coach who is able not only to motivate his players, but also to give them a good chance to win.

The coach of the Catalans is Julen Lopetegui, who took over the position of head coach of Real Madrid in December 2017. He is a former player of the team, and he managed to turn it around.
After the departure of Zinedine Zidane, the club was left without a main striker. The problem was that the player was not able, due to his injury, to play in the starting lineup.
Lopeteguis managed to solve the problem, and now the team can count on the participation in the playoffs.
The Champions League is one of the most popular tournaments in the world, and this is why the club is so confident. The coach of Barcelona has a great lineup, which allows him to create an attacking game.
It is also worth noting that the team plays in the Spanish championship, which means that the players have a good opportunity to show their skills in the international arena.
Barça’s chances of winning the tournament
The team has recently been in great shape, and in the current season it managed to win a number of important trophies. The main goal of the club in the future is to win all the trophies it has won in the past.
This season, the players were able to show a good performance in the domestic arena, and they managed to finish in the first position in La Liga. However, the Champions Cup was not so successful for the club, as it was not enough for it to get to the next stage.
At the group stage, the Catalonians were not able even to finish on the first place. The reason for this is the poor selection of players in the team.
Despite this, the coach managed to get the team to the playoffs, which will be the first step in the long journey to the Champions league.
What to expect from the team in the near future
The club has a number 1 and 2 strikers in the squad, and these players are able to score a lot of goals. This is why Lopeteguis managed not to lose points in the matches with the opponents.
Another advantage of the coach is the selection of the main players of the lineup. This allows him not to make substitutions, which has a positive effect on the results of the game. The Catalans are now ready to fight for the title, and if they manage to win it, they will be able to win further trophies.

Live football results of Spanish championship
The current season of the Spanish Championship has already shown that the teams have a lot to improve. The previous season, Barcelona managed to achieve the best result in the history of the championship.
That is why it is so important for the coach to strengthen the team and to make the necessary changes. The current season was very difficult for the Catalons, as they lost a lot, and even the victory in the final match was not easy for them.
Now, the fans can watch live football results on the sports statistics website, where the information is updated in real time.
Main achievements of Barcelona in the season
The season of 2017/18 was a real success for the Catalan club. The club managed to reach the Champions’ League, and its main goal is to get into the group of the elite.
Of course, the current results are not the best, but if you look at the previous season of Barcelona, you will see that the club managed not only a good result in La liga, but it also managed to qualify for the Champions’ League.
Thus, the previous year, the squad of Ernesto Valverde managed to play not only in the Europa League, but in the main tournament of the Old Continent. This year, it is much more difficult to get a place in the group, as the team needs to finish first in the league. However the coach Valverdes is able, thanks to his players’ skills, to get them to the playoff round.
If the team manages to win at least one trophy in the next season, then it will be one of its main achievements. The fans will be waiting for the next campaign to see the results, as well as the progress of the players.
