#2 Injury crisis
The injury crisis surrounding some of Barcelona's superstars is one of the factors that could derail La Blaugrana's efforts this term. The Catalans have been dealing with injury concerns since the beginning of the term, and rather than getting some ease, the list keeps piling up.
The likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Thomas Vermaelen, Philippe Coutinho, Arthur Melo, Denis Suarez, Carles Alena, and Ivan Rakitic have all visited the treatment table this season before getting back to action at certain points, but the likes of Sergi Roberto, Malcom, Samuel Umtiti, and Rafinha Alcantara are still out injured, with the latter two facing long spells on the sidelines.
Although it is undeniable that Barcelona have incredible depth in their squad, if injury concerns continue to pile up at this rate, there is no way it will not affect the squad as the season progresses, and that could also inspire a negative turnaround.
