5 reasons why Barcelona can win the Champions League

#3 Unbeaten Run

Messi extended Barcelona's streak with a goal against Bilbao

Undefeated in all competition in the 2017-2018 season since the Super Copa loss to Real Madrid, Barcelona have managed to stay clear on the top of both the Spanish league table and their Champions League group table.

A 13-game unbeaten run on the bounce have given Barcelona a resounding momentum which might shape up the remaining of the season in Spain and in Europe. Finding the net 35 times in all competitions and conceding just four times provides Barcelona with a potential title-clinching early boost.

It is not clear as to how long Barcelona's run may last and speculations have been made regarding its near end due to several below-average performances of the midfield in the absence of key players like Sergio Busquets.

With three wins out of three in the Champions League group stage, Barcelona are certain to advance to the knock-out and the remaining three matches could provide a platform for the fringe players to prove their worth.

Troubled times at enemy camps add to the probability of Barcelona going further in the Champions League. With the Manchester Clubs having a long fixture list, also devoid of any winter breaks, fatigue could take its toll on them. Bayern Munich's administrative imbalance would also favour the odds for Barcelona, who are already enjoying the comfort being on top of their forms as fierce Rivals Real Madrid have failed to hit their best so far this season.
