Drawn alongside the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven in the group stage, the Blaugrana made qualification look easy as they emerged leaders with an impressive 14 points in 6 games. The tie against Olympique Lyon in the Round of 16 also proved to be a tricky one but with their determination, they were able to sail through and qualified for the quarterfinals.
Having failed to progress past the quarterfinals of the Champions League in each the last 3 seasons and watching their arch-rivals Real Madrid making history by claiming the trophy in each of those years, the Blaugrana are greatly determined to dominate the continent once again and that will help them immensely in the tournament.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
