Former Real Madrid maestro Toni Kroos praised Barcelona's playing style, which has maintained their traditional approach for years. According to him, the Catalans will demonstrate the most eye-catching, the most spectacular football in Europe - perhaps even the most captivating.
At the same time, Kroos reminded that this beautiful style also has a dangerous side: if creators like Lamin Yamal, Pedri, or Rafinha experience an "unlucky day," any strong opponent could cause serious headaches for Barça and even expel them from the Champions League.
The German midfielder believes the situation in the semi-final against Inter Milan last season was a prime example. He believes that a similar scenario could be repeated this season - a single slow pace or mistake in the knockout stage will be costly.
However, within La Liga, this risk is less noticeable. Because throughout the long season, Barcelona maintains absolute dominance in the competition with its ball control, positional superiority, and deep reserves. According to Kroos, stability in the league will lead the Blaugrana to their goal, while in Europe, every little detail is crucial.
