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.
The chance was pretty small for barcelona to win UCL. All of premier league clubs were making massive improvements. Manchester city has also become even stronger than before. I remind you the result against arsenal. Arsenal is a strong team right now. Its level was still under manchester city but it's still also one of strongest team in EPL. The chance for la liga to win UCL is pretty small at this moment. EPL club may dominate the UCL competition. Barcelona needs to prove its quality in the group stage.
The last season has become floop for barcelona as the team was not only failed in the UCL. It was also failed in the europa league. Barcelona needs to prove it first. Im skeptical with barcelona's performance.
barcelona will be using some players from its own academic next season. These players need to get more experiences first. The next season gonna be very difficult for barcelona.
