Barcelona has a lot of talented young players combined with some experienced old players. Even though Alba and Busquets have left, I think Xavi still has quality replacements to keep their chances in various competitions. I know the Champions League is tough, but there's nothing wrong with expecting Barcelona to be one of the strong contenders next season.
Barcelona has a chance of course but I don’t see them winning the Champions League title. Xavi has done a fine job in making a good enough team to clinch the la liga title last season. With their recent signings, they’ve added some experienced players to the squad. But I doubt all that would be able to get them the champions league trophy. Barcelona is a strong contender but the chances of winning aren’t that great.
Manchester United is also a club that would be a strong contender but like Barcelona, I also don’t think they could win the title.
They'll have to bond very well especially the midfielder's. Most of them signatures done by Barcelona are not typical Barcelona kind of players. They'll successfully defend the Spanish League this season once again but I'm not convinced they have that chemistry to march them into winning the Champions League this season. It's Crazy!
Same goes to Manchester United, they haven't convinced me even with recent tour games ( Though I don't take pre season games seriously ) They have made positive advanaces but not enough for them to take them to the next chapter, which has got to be winning the Champions League. They've made important Improved signatures and Erik Ten Hag would finally get his desired players to work with when the Premier League kicks off. They should win the Premier League before considering the Champions League.
