In the Champions League, clubs from the Premier League often dominate and of course it's a tough challenge for Barcelona because they have to fight clubs from the Premier League, one of which is Manchester City, who won last season.
Don't forget that there are clubs that are quite tough, namely PSG and Real Madrid, where there will always be tough competition in every season in the Champions League.

Maybe Xavi has prepared a team to bring Barcelona to compete, it's just that we don't know if they can last until the semifinals, based on the research I did from La Liga, Real Madrid will be stronger, not Barcelona.

Depending on how solid Xavi squad is this season, as we know, last season Barcelona failed miserably in the UCL as a result of failing to qualify from the group stage they were forced to play in the Europa League. Barcelona slowly began to improve under Xavi direction, they managed to win the La Liga trophy and this season they will again compete with other favorite clubs in the UCL.
The journey in the UCL is certainly not easy, they will compete with other strong teams that are tougher. Xavi must find a way for his team to continue to survive among the other favorite teams, we don't know how far Barcelona will go in the UCL this season, but great hope lies in Xavi's ingenuity in dispensing Barcelona in overcoming stronger competitors.

Yes, Xavi and Barcelona failed in the Champions League and also the Europa League last season and for this season I'm still not so sure that Xavi can lead Barcelona to have the UCL title or the Europa League.
Getting the UCL title is not as easy as we all imagine because Barcelona needs a really mature game and can have good defense and attack in every game so as not to get knocked out like last season.

I think it's only natural that Real Madrid is currently stronger than Barcelona, because Madrid is in fourth place with the most expensive squad at the moment. Meanwhile, Barcelona occupies position number seven, but this is not a benchmark and parameter. Because Barcelona has its own luck I see, in the midst of setbacks they created consistency so that they won the La Liga championship trophy last season. It's possible that next season they can do it again amid Madrid dominance, at least we can see the strength of the two teams when El Clasico takes place in La Liga.

I think all teams that have recruited new players will experience ups and downs in their performance at the start of the season, because they will certainly encounter various challenges during their adaptation period.

That's true because at this point Real Madrid really has players who are far superior to Barcelona, regarding the current position it cannot be a benchmark for the success of a club in the Champions League because when a club focuses on the Champions League it is likely to survive and fighting for the title.
So far, every club must really be able to share their energy and stamina to play because they don't only play in the Champions League, but there are several other leagues they participate in.
