Your team is in trouble in the Champions League and you have as many injuries as my team Real Madrid Yikes! Many of the top teams are struggling except for Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Juve. It's still very early and it seems to me that there is a World Cup hangover that is effecting many of the Top teams in Europe.

It appears, although they will never admit it, that Barca is prioritizing Champions League this season. Messi mentioned something along those lines that during his first speech to the Camp Nou as captain before the first match this season. He was even rested, for a while anyway, in the La Liga match prior to the Tottenham match. I don't think that usually happens. Considering Barca's La Liga results so far and Messi's brilliance in the first two CL matches, I think there may be something to Barca prioritizing CL.
