It is no secret that Barcelona have been desperate to win the elusive UEFA Champions League trophy for quite some time. From signing high-profile players to giving exciting youth players a chance, it all seemed perfect last season until that horrendous second leg fixture at Anfield. This is a clear indication that as a team, Barcelona simply aren’t doing enough. Lionel Messi hasn’t won the Ballon d’Or for four years and the team hasn’t won a European trophy in the same timeframe, which speaks volumes about what the player and the team need to be crowned the best in Europe.
