#3 Playing to win
Under the guidance of Ernesto Valverde, the Catalan giants are looking to secure the win rather than entertain fans with their style. Over the years the philosophy of the Blaugrana has been to win by entertaining the viewers and sticking to their core style and philosophy but that has surely changed under Valverde.
Now, Barcelona are satisfied and comfortable being the less dominant team if they can garner a win. While facing Lyon in the first leg at France, playing self football was the priority and Barcelona did just that, before hammering French side in the second leg.
It is evident that Ernesto Valverde's men showed that they are clever to pull off a win even when they are not at their best, which is needed to win titles. Barcelona are clearly 'more human' as they make more mistakes but the current team is also more determined to secure the title, rather than play beautiful football.
The team shows the grit to win and that could bring them far in the competition.
