UCL: Why Barcelona won’t win trophy this season – Carragher

Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has given a reason Barcelona won’t win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.

Recall that Barcelona humiliated Olympiakos 6-1 on Tuesday night at home.

The goals were scored by the likes of Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford.

Hansi Flick’s side reached the Champions League semi-final stage last season, but were defeated by Inter Milan.

However, Carragher has now ruled out Barcelona’s chances of winning the Champions League, insisting that their defence is not good enough.

“They [Barcelona ] lost [the Champions League semi-final last season] through naivety, really, maybe having a lot of young players,” Carragher told CBS Sports.

“When you look at the back four who played tonight [Kounde, Cubarsi, Garcia and Balde], I’m not sure this back four can win the Champions League.

“It is not just about playing with a high line, which gives them problems as well.

“Whenever you watch them, you always feel the opposition has a chance. It is not just how they set up tactically.

“I am not quite sure the defenders are good enough when they come up against a real elite team like Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich.”
