However, their dreadful results in the Champions League have taken the shine off their domestic form and a 3-3 draw against Inter Milan on Wednesday left them on the verge of elimination from Europe’s elite competition at the group stage for the second straight season. As part of this year’s budget, presented to the club’s assembly of committee members last Sunday, the board predicted that Barca would reach the Champions League quarterfinals and win the LaLiga title.
Carlo Ancelotti’s unbeaten team have begun this campaign where they left off last season, when they won the Champions League and LaLiga double. Barcelona, however, showed in March that they could spring an upset on their rivals when they delivered a 4-0 thrashing at Santiago Bernabeu when Real were on top of their game.
