Barcelona was not able to win the Champions League or the La Liga title last season which marked the last year for Pep Quardiola at the Camp Nou, but they were able to pull off the League Cup adding to the list of many in the Quardiola's reign. Vilanova took over and with new additions into the team Barcelona is still the team to beat in Europe.
Chelsea were able to beat Barca last season in the Champions League even with 10 men and this made many teams to believe "Barcelona can be beaten".
New signing Alex Song and Jordi Alba add on to their strike force and make the team even more superior when compared to all other teams.
Barcelona in the recent past have kept the ball for most of the time and have failed to convert their ball possession into winning possession. They keep the ball but were not able to score enough where as other teams take their chances even though they are small in number.
Teams which can beat Barcelona this season
1.Real Madrid
2.Manchester United
3.Chelsea
4.Bayern Munich
5.Manchester City
Champions league this season will be a fight to the end, all big teams have good quality players who are in great form so far this season.
Real Madrid and Manchester United have the best strike forces in Europe as of now and Chelsea may not be more convincing without Drogba and even miss a quality striker.
Manchester City with a very physical side can be a very tough opponent for Barca, they have a very good defensive record which can challenge even Messi who scored more than 70 goals last season.
