I agree with you. If you look at the statistics in the previous few seasons, Barcelona was able to stay in the top 3 for several seasons and that shows that they are still the same Barcelona and are one of the big teams in La Liga. But what differentiates them from previous seasons is that they slumped to 4th and 5th place this season. I think that's something that rarely happens to Barcelona. And coupled with the financial crisis experienced by the team, some people think that Barcelona is in trouble. But if you look at their current position I am sure they will get second place in La Liga. And with great young players in their team, I think Barcelona will return to being one of Europe's strongest teams next season.
Barcelona's performance is not satisfying and I can bet you that even last season, when they won La Liga, it was all luck The real Madrid focus was on the UCL, and there was no other serious club that would compete with it. That is why I said Barcelona is doing well. Look at Barcelona during Messi and see how the club was all-flying their performance was extraordinary. and making the top 3 is not an achievement to me when others are busy looking for ways to win the trophy they are looking for Look at Manchester City last season, winning 3 trophies. That is what will be called an effort, not looking for ways to make the top 3, and we should not forget that Girona is there so second place will not be easy for them likewise.Many supporters of Barcelona believe that their team can compete with Real Madrid in the La Liga, but they are unaware that nothing will stop Real Madrid from winning the league this year. You are also correct regarding Barcelona's performance in the previous season; luck played a major role in their victory, and Real Madrid's focus on the Champions League that year also contributed to their success. Given the level of competition this season, Barcelona is not a team that can be trusted to win any trophies.
Although their current form appears strong and has helped them advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, supporters shouldn't be encouraged to believe that Barcelona can win Laliga and advance to the championship game because there are many teams that are stronger than them. While young players like Lamin Yamal and Cubasi are certainly giving Barcelona more confidence at this point, they should also keep in mind that these players are still young and that using them will negatively impact their careers.
Regarding Yamal in Barcelona. We know this player had an amazing performance since he joined Barcelona and considering his age, he can have a good shining performance in Barcelona. but I don't think if Barcelona can keep Yamal for a long time in this team considering the financial situation they have.
Even Joan Laporta the CEO of Barcelona started talking about the offer Lamine Yamal has and he said the news about this player is true and he got a good offer from PSG with 200 million euros which is a huge amount of money for any player. But Barcelona could keep their player this time for a long time.
