The level to do

1. Barcelona are NOT at the level to win the Champions League.

2. I'm not at the level to start the stage.

Q1) Are both sentences 1 and 2 correct?

Q2) In sentence 1, does "to win the Champions League" modify "the level", and in sentence 2, does "to start the stage" modify "the level"?

I'm not quite sure whether the to-infinitive modifies the level, though with the analysis, they seem to make sense.
