Former Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano has stated that his generation of players elevated the club's standards to the point where supporters now demand Champions League glory, according to reports published Tuesday.
The Argentine, who won two Champions League titles during his eight-year spell at Camp Nou from 2010 to 2018, suggested that the success achieved during that period fundamentally shifted the fanbase's expectations.
Mascherano was part of a Barcelona side that also secured five La Liga titles and three Copa del Rey trophies, establishing a period of domestic and European dominance under managers Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.
