Former Barcelona winger Ludovic Giuly thinks that the Catalan side will retain their Champions League crown this season.
The Catalan club are through to the Round of 16 stage, where they will meet Bayer Leverkusen, after topping their group with 16 points from six matches.
"Winning La Liga will be hard, but Barca will win the Champions League," Giuly told Esports COPE.
"Everyone wants to play at Barca, there is no other club like this. The club's system is based on using fast wingers. There is no other system like Barca's."
The Monaco attacker, who played at Barca between 2004 and 2007, also praised coach Pep Guardiola, saying: "His work is impressive and his level is hard to top."
