Next season will be a new challenge for Xavi, he will be tested in the Champions League as the most prestigious competition on the European continent. The current squad has been proven capable of giving trophies to Barcelona, but Xavi needs to bring in a few more players so that his team can provide competition in the Champions League.
Can they still buy players? After spending incredible money last season. Not to mention that with the salary list of each player, they will need a lot of money. It looks like it could violate FFP rules. This season Barcelona proved a failure for the UCL, with the same player Xavi may need to improve the mentality of the players. Rumours Messi will return, it looks like it could help them in the UCL. But now that won't happen, it looks like Xavi has to look for non-star players with good games and low prices.
I really think Barcelona should be considered in the way they pay their players. They give away too much salary in my opinion. If you look at Real Madrid I think we will find the salary to be more deserving for the Real Madrid players. We all know how players like Sergio Busquets and Pique were getting huge amount of salary even when they were not performing well enough.
Lionel Messi is already on his way to MLS as far as I know. Barcelona will have to get over him. Lionel Messi has moved on and so should Barcelona. I am still not expecting too much from Barcelona in the Champions League competition, to be honest.
