In my opinion, Barcelona has lost a key player, and if they want to be able to keep up with Real Madrid and other big teams they have to be able to improve it, not only that, maybe with the others. Barcelona must be able to find talented young players like the young players that Real Madrid has. If next season Barcelona doesn't make any changes, of course I think Real Madrid will easily beat them because Real Madrid will definitely be stronger next season.
Currently, Barcelona can be likened to someone who really wants to fight but does not have an adequate supply of weapons. Their players are still pretty good, it's just that it's still a little lacking because it's not accompanied by qualified finances and internal settlements that are sometimes always allowed to drag on.
There are still some players who can contribute especially to their midfield because De Jong, Pedri and even Gavi before the injury could have been used as key players to make their performance stable.
But these three players were too shortened so that in the end they became injury-prone and now there is Lamine Yamal who was given more trust in the Xavi era and he can be a key player.
The problem is for next season, apart from financials that are still not improving at this time Barcelona is also experiencing a coaching transition because surely the new coach still has to try to adapt even though Hansi Flick has a closeness with several players but still that cannot be a guarantee that he can adapt quickly.
Finding players by overhauling is clearly an impossible thing because with what Barcelona did last season when they were busy looking for loan players is proof that their cash flow is still not okay until now.
