For this reason, I really hope that Barcelona will soon rise from its downturn so that El Clasico will be even more interesting. The rivalry between the two makes the competition for the La Liga trophy even more competitive. Last year Real Madrid managed to dominate Barcelona in El Clasico and also in the title race, this is very natural because Barcelona condition is unstable. Barcelona is still trying to make improvements to its squad in order to improve its quality so that it can compete again with Real Madrid. Mbappe arrival to Real Madrid should increase Barcelona's motivation in building its strength to return to the championship ladder.
The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona have actually maintained some interest and competition in the la Liga over the years. Whenever there's a fixture for both teams to meet, it's a whole lot in the la Liga such that even those who aren't regular la Liga supporters do want to have a glimpse of what it's going to look like. But in the past few years, the dominance has resolved around Madrid and Barcelona is just still trying to fix up so as to get in shape and hopefully they do soonest and bring back the competition of dominance in the la Liga as anticipated by all.
In other words, Barcelona must be able to maintain its existence as one of the rulers in La Liga, so that the El Clasico match will remain interesting to watch. Despite the financial crisis and all kinds of limitations they may face, Hansi Flick is expected to be able to manage Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid next season. Of course, this is not an easy job as Real Madrid currently has a more ideal squad, but in my opinion only Barcelona can apply consistent pressure at the top of the standings. Atletico Madrid, Girona, Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao seem to only be able to apply pressure temporarily, they need great luck to be able to compete for trophies next season.
