Yes just look at Barcelona and how they have been doing the last few years. Regardless of winning the title last season, in my opinion they were not part of the highest elite group anymore as they weren't playing this level that is unreachable for most others. They have had a good season and Real Madrid wasn't playing well in La Liga, which is why Barcelona could win the title. Now they are struggling in La Liga again and got lucky with their Champions League group, but I don't think they will be around in the semifinals of the Champions League.

If you look at Barcelona's current performance and even overall in the last few years, it is natural that the Barcelona team is no longer favored to compete for the UCL title, and I agree with you if you say that Barcelona is currently not one of the elite teams in Europe. they are really in a very bad state and there has been no progress in the last few years.
So this season it is quite logical if we predict that Barcelona will not go further and what happened in the group phase cannot be a reference because their opponents in the group phase were weak teams and Barcelona was a little lucky to join group H.

Of a truth Barcelona is not really in their best this season even for the fact that they have tactical and talented players but yet they struggle to win matches even win with low goal difference unlike Barcelona before that wins with high goal difference in their matches but despite the fact that they haven't really shown their best this season i still applaud their performance so far like for them to be in the third position in the league table means they are still in good form as they are just 5 points behind the league leaders Real Madrid.

Barcelona in the last season was much better and they had a better performance but because of the financial issues they have in this team, we can't expect to see more from Xavi, I was hoping to see a good performance from Barcelona during this Chmpaunos League but to be honest this team is not in the same situation with other teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munch, especially in this tournament and there is not much hope for them.

So true, it can be seen from how lewandowski was consistently producing the goals regularly unlike this season. Lewandowski is having terrible performance that is giving non significant impact to the club. It's very very bad to see how it was performing so badly.
Barcelona can lose la liga if it keeps perform so poorly like that. Real madrid becomes even stronger than before and i do like that. I hope real amdrid will be dominating everything right now. The club needs to sign the good players but glad to see that it has financial trouble.
The chance for xavi to build his team is being limited as it was not having lots of budget to do that. Real madrid is very strong right now. It has very good chemistry. Bellingham., vini and mbappe soon will be going so crazy.
That's amazing to see how real madrid is working as a team. Barcelona will lose la liga and UCL this season. I have no faith in this team. Madrid will be dominating everything.
