Maybe now Barcelona is not yet able to compete with Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy, but if the Barcelona squad starts to find its best performance, Real Madrid will face a big threat from Barcelona in dominating La Liga.
Predictably, Madrid may have quality players and have proven this season. They have many star players with predictably guaranteed quality.
But you have to remember Leverkusen in Germany. The beginning of their season was without a prediction of a champion. They are without many star-quality players. But Xabi was able to change the prediction. They can perform well and win. Barcelona may be able to imitate Xabi. With a fairly difficult financial condition, it is the best option. It may be different, but there are always surprises that cannot be predicted precisely in football.
So far we only know two teams that compete fiercely in getting the La Liga trophy, namely Barcelona and Madrid, although there are indeed several other teams that often appear and surprise us in La Liga such as Girona and Atletico Madrid, but I personally am very confident that the championship trophy will only be obtained by one of betwen Barcelona and Madrid, Barcelona currently have a significant gap in terms of depth and quality of their squad due current financial problems, but will that make Madrid progress easily in La Liga next season?
I don't think so, because after all Barcelona will still be Madrid closest competitor in terms of title competition although Madrid is likely to win the trophy at the end of the season, so far Barcelona has lost Xavi as a coach who is able to make the most of the Barcelona squad well despite their financial limitations, So next season will be a challenge for Hansi Flick to be able to do what Xavi did before and even I hope Hansi Flick can make Barcelona better than the era of Xavi coaching.
