Next season I hope that we can see an impressive competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga title. Barcelona aren't performing like in the times Koeman was in charge. They have developed their game so much thanks to Xavi and this is a green light to next season hopefully too. Real Madrid had better be aware of this big threat for themselves even if they still become the biggest contender for the title next time too. I've really missed the title race between these teams.
The last time Barcelona could beat Real Madrid with a landslide score, this is a good sign for Barcelona and otherwise will be a serious threat to Real Madrid. But will Xavi be able to create a consistent team in La Liga next season? That's what we have to wait for. If he manages to create that team then Real Madrid will have another tough competition.
Look, this is how it is.
Barca was never going to challenge for 2 or 3 seasons since last season. We have our financial problems. Not yet fixed by the way. We have to find a way to hold down our youth without making them too unhappy or too overburdened. Teenagers injured for internationals show how much we've relied on them.
Even a 2nd place finish was beyond expectations.
On the other hand Real are strengthening, big big buys already and more to come.
Let's not hope for too much, but at least make sure Real don't have another easy season because then they again can rest for UCL. Hate that lol.
