Did you know that Barcelona could have finished second last season in a situation that could be said to be even worse than now?
I know it very well. I followed the La Liga for the whole season previously. I agree that the last season is a bad season, but I can't say it was worse than this season because this season isn't over yet.
Now their squad is better, and the draw they achieved was only at the start of the season. We saw last season they were even worse than now, but after Xavi came things looked better. And I said that Barcelona would be a problem for Real Madrid.
The squad is better in the terms of the players' quality. But I don't see much improvement in their performance and the stability of their game play. It is true that Xavi makes a bit of improvement, but it is not enough to compete with Real Madrid.

This season isn't over yet, how can you conclude it?
Anyway, even Xavi makes Barcelona better, Xavi didn't get any trophy/title with Barcelona. Even they have a chance to win the title of Europa League, Xavi missed it.
