Barcelona is no longer able to be a rival to Real Madrid, no matter Barcelona's efforts to bring in the new coach. Because of course, if Barcelona still has financial problems then of course Barcelona will still be difficult to have better performance and results than Real Madrid. So anyway, even though Barcelona managed to recruit Hansi Flick as their new manager but still, there is no guarantee that Barcelona will have good results. Maybe,Barcelona hopes that Hansi Flick will succeed in making Barcelona have a chance to get a trophy next season but for me, Barcelona will still find it difficult to get a trophy even though they may only be targeting getting the Copa Del Rey trophy.
Even though it is a bit difficult to accept the assumptions you convey, the facts of what is happening in Barcelona currently are like that. The reason is that currently Barcelona has definitely lost to Real Madrid in every way. Whether looking at it from a financial perspective, the depth of the squad they have, or the quality of the coach. So actually, if you look at the situation Barcelona is currently facing, it is a bit inaccurate if Barcelona is called Real Madrid's rival. Because basically a rival always has conditions that are not much different. However, what happened between Barcelona and Real Madrid was like earth and sky. So it is natural that Barcelona is said to be unable to become Real Madrid's rival next season. Because of course Barcelona will not be able to match the Real Madrid squad which is truly fantastic as it is now.
The reason is that in the season that has just ended, Barcelona was really unable to compete with Real Madrid, because in several meetings with Real Madrid, Barcelona always lost. So next season, it is very likely that Barcelona will be beaten again by Real Madrid. Even though Barcelona currently has a new coach, Hansi Flick, this will certainly not make Barcelona develop too far. Because in essence Barcelona lacks the money to buy players who are the standardization that Hansi Flick wants. And speaking of trophies, this season Barcelona failed to win a single trophy. So next season, with competition definitely getting tougher, Barcelona's chances of getting a trophy will definitely be very small too.
At first I wanted to continue to think positively about Barcelona, but if you look at the facts, Barcelona will really have difficulties next season.
