“Winning the Champions League is not obligatory”: Deco outlines Barca’s objectives
Barcelona’s new sporting director, Deco, emphasized that there is no obligation to win the Champions League, but rather a commitment to be competitive. He stated, “There is an obligation to be competitive. We have the dream of winning the Champions League, we want to win any trophies.” While winning the Champions League remains a significant goal, Deco acknowledged the importance of maintaining competitiveness in various competitions, including La Liga.
Barcelona’s last Champions League triumph was in 2015, and the club is eager to add to its rich history in the competition. The team currently faces a relatively manageable group in the tournament, providing an opportunity to advance and contend for the title. While Champions League success is a coveted achievement, Deco recognizes the broader objectives of the club, which include competing at a high level and challenging for multiple trophies each season.
