Live broadcast February 26th. In the first round of the Champions League 1/8 final, Barcelona drew Napoli 1-1 away, and former Arsenal coach Wenger commented on Barcelona's performance.
During Wenger's coaching of the Gunners, he won only one of 11 games against Barcelona. He believes that Barcelona's dominance over the game has declined, and it is not the same Barcelona before. He also believes that Barcelona has a chance to win the Champions League this season. Not big, Wenger analyzed the reasons in detail.
Speaking about Barcelona's current lack of strength to lift the Champions League trophy, Wenger told Bein Sports: " I will agree with this view . This Barcelona's data is similar to Naples. They have 13 shots on average, but they also have 13 The ball was missed. In the Barcelona I knew before, they had 27 shots and only two missed . "
Barcelona last won the Champions League in 2015, which is their fourth time in nine years. Unfortunately, they did not reach the Champions League final last year, Barcelona lost to the final champion Liverpool in an exciting semi-final, but they successfully defended the La Liga title last season. However, despite the fact that Barcelona have some stars who have won the Champions League for the team, Wenger does not consider Barcelona to be a strong team.
When asked what happened to Barcelona, Wenger added: " They have slowed down in winning speed , Barcelona has more possession in the backcourt and has been more open in the midfield, but has not Created opportunities, they do not have a scorer in the midfield, because De Jong and Buscus are defensive players, they do not have a midfielder in the penalty area. "
"I think this is why Rakitic will start this game. The only player who entered the penalty area from the midfield is Vidal, but he is sometimes lacking in technology. They also lost something and played against me. Barca's game, Alves at right wing, Alba in the left touchline. now their backs in addition to Alba, they create opportunities for the poor data in the right way. "
