It wasn't entirely Lewandowski's fault, but if you look at the attacking lines of the last 15 years, then they are now not even close in quality to what they were used to at Barcelona. I understand the frustration when they are still longing for two strikers like Suarez and Messi, The attacking line Barcelona now has is much weaker. But it is not only the attacking line, it is the midfield and the defense that are both not as strong anymore.

If we compare the squad that Barcelona has had in the last 10-15 years, the differences are definitely different. The reason is that at that time Barcelona was in very good condition in all respects. Whether it's in terms of players or financial matters. So at that time Barcelona was able to bring in great players with high quality and very experienced coaches. So if you compare it now you will definitely see a big difference.
That was how Barcelona was before. By then, there was no team that was doing better than what Barcelona was doing, and I think the problem was that things change because by then,and you can see that some players they were playing with are not playing football or some have already leave the team, and  some teams that are here now have not been introduced by then. and since those teams come in, they begin to buy players with a huge amount of money, so I think basically Barcelona finances are not like before because they are not reigning like before.
However, the team that I can compare to Barcelona at that time is Real Madrid; they were also doing very well by then.

But, even now I don't think Barcelona is too bad and the quality of their players is also quite good. However, Barcelona only needs a few adjustments in each line of players. Because what I see is that every line still doesn't have good chemistry. So in this case all players and coaches must be able to build and fix all of this well. Because if you only rely on one player like Lewandowski you definitely won't be able to. Because in the world of football, a team will not be able to win if it only relies on one or two players. So, all lines must remain balanced so that there are no large gaps that the opponent can freely penetrate. Apart from that, coaches must also always be given input by their players, because when they are on the field, it is the players who feel compatible and comfortable with their teammates. So if something is lacking or uncomfortable, the trainer can find a solution and fix it.

Exactly, and I think that is what is affecting Barcelona. A lot people have been saying that Barcelona are not doing well without mentioning their weak points, although personally, I have observed the squad and I didn’t see any weak points. The only thing I always think they need is what you just said: they should reorganise the squad well; they should stop depending on a player; one person cannot do it alone; he needs other players to assist, and I think that is what affects them.
