I think next season will be a success for Barcelona, if even this season they have managed to finish in second place, having risen from the middle of the standings. Now they can compete with Real Madrid again and create intrigue. All the more so if they get a powerful forward like Robert Lewandowski.
I wonder how the fact that Barcelona was able to beat the average shows that they are able to compete with Real Madrid? After the arrival of Xavi, the distance between the clubs remained practically unchanged (this despite the fact that Real Madrid won La Liga a few rounds before the finish line and had no motivation to win in every game).
Barcelona did end the season without a trophy. We have to admit that Barcelona has been crushed this season but there is one thing that Barcelona fans should be grateful for.
But at least, Barcelona can comeback to finish in second place in the Spanish League standings after Barcelona slumped.
Now Xaxi has to judge a lot of things. Barcelona needs to strengthen. Next season Barcelona will have to fight for the trophy. Barcelona must prepare well and be competitive.
