There was no easy draw for Barcelona, sadly.
— Domagoj Kostanjšak (@DKostanjsak) March 15, 2024
But there are less horrible & winnable ones, which is exactly what PSG are at the moment; they can exploit our weaknesses well but we can still hurt & even beat them.
Lucho double agent too ????
I'm happy all things considered. ????♂️
The fact that it’s genuinely possible for Barca to make the UCL final is crazy to me ????
