They still have a long way to go to make that happen, but even though they look more prepared now, it's not a guarantee that they will continue to show the same. The reason is that last season they were also good but they lost their balance when the season was about to end and in the end Barcelona could freely win the title last season.
This is just the beginning of their long journey and there are still many matches left. Especially in the Champions League, big teams from each league are waiting for them to stop them in the Champions League. Although their strength now looks strong, they still need to improve.

Barcelona were good in La Liga, but in the Champions League they couldn't even get out of the group, Inter became an impassable team for them. While I agree that Barcelona are gradually getting into optimal form, it is only right that the manager can plan in such a way that the team can finish the season at its peak. In the Champions League they are doing well now, they will definitely make it to the playoffs.

For me, it makes sense why Barcelona was unable to do well in the Champions League competition. Barcelona was unable to do well in the Champions League because Barcelona actually went all in with all the power of they have in the La Liga competition. And I think it is going to be wrong to say that Barcelona didn't go for the Champions League competition. Actually, they couldn't. Maybe that will change this time. This time they have a little more competition in La Liga. So probably they will also concentrate on the Champions League. But remember they are the defending champion of La Liga. So they will have to compete really hard to defend the title successfully.
