The previous campaign for Barcelona ended with jubilation accompanying the team as they crossed the finish line since the Catalans emerged victors in La Liga and prevailed in the Spanish Super Cup.
However, the expectations at the club continue to grow, and the goals that have been set by the organization’s higher-ups are likely to become even more ambitious for the forthcoming season, particularly when it comes to contests in Europe.
Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona’s star in attack, was a guest on the CBS Sports’ Morning Footy Podcast (h/t SPORT), where he discussed the team’s objectives. In particular, he shed light on the UEFA Champions League, which is the competition that has consistently been a source of difficulty for Barcelona over the years. SPORT was cited.
In the interest of making things betterDespite the fact that the Catalans were victors in La Liga, there is still a lot of opportunity for growth, particularly in the Champions League. In each of the previous two years, Barcelona has been ousted in the group stage of the Champions League.
Lewandowski expressed his optimism towards the upcoming campaign by saying, “We will be better this season.” The Polish player’s goal is to lead the team to greater success during the upcoming campaign.
There is no denying that Barca’s prospects have been improved by recent arrivals as well as increased familiarity among the team’s players.

The Polish striker attempted to comfort the fans by saying, “We consider the Champions League to be very important.” The striker was aware of the significance of the competition.
As a former winner of the Champions League with Bayern Munich, he is familiar with the difficulties that can arise during this competition.
Lewandowski then went on to elaborate on a few of the requirements necessary to win the championship and put some light on the issues that Barcelona had during the previous campaign.
According to him, “in the Champions League you need luck and all players available, but during the previous season we suffered five or six injuries, and as a result, we were eliminated from the competition.”
