Barcelona is back in the quarterfinals after a tough few seasons of early exits. It's an emotional moment for the team, considering the challenges they've faced. While Barcelona may not be the top contender for the trophy, this progress surely boosts their morale and could aid in overcoming financial struggles. Making it to the last 4 wouldn't be surprising, given their recent form. It's uncertain what the future holds, but Barcelona has the potential for a successful season in both the Champions League and La Liga. Regardless, achieving this would be a significant milestone in their journey to bounce back stronger next season.
I think it will be very difficult because Barcelona is far behind Real Madrid in La LIga and in the Champions League we also have to look realistically that Barcelona's performance is not much better than other top teams.
Barcelona's progress to the quarter-finals had a bit of an element of luck because they did not face strong opponents in the round of 16.
Indeed, if you look overall since the start of the season, Barcelona's performance has improved slightly, but I don't think that's enough for them to be able to compete fiercely for the title on the Champions League stage.
