Now is not the time to compare the quality of Real Madrid with Barcelona because these two teams are in different conditions, Real Madrid has the financial ability to bring in the players they want, while Barcelona is struggling to get out of the financial problems that befell it. Real Madrid is starting the new season with a very complete squad, especially after Mbappe's arrival, its strength will continue to increase, while Barcelona is trying to find new players to fill several positions that are considered weak. Hansi Flick presence will make Barcelona play with a new strategy because he is an outsider from Barcelona, However his experience in managing previous clubs will really help Barcelona get out of the problems they are currently facing.
Yes, the two teams are in different situations, so for now comparing the two teams we will clearly find a quite striking difference. One team is still in the same problem (Barcelona), while the other team is in very good condition (Real Madrid). We will all definitely have the same view on this, namely that we will say that Real Madrid is currently one step ahead of Barcelona. So logically we will see Real Madrid above Barcelona.
However, if we talk about everything that can happen in football, it is clear that this does not guarantee that Real Madrid will be above Barcelona, because it could be that Barcelona will surprise everyone with their excellent performance in the next season. It's just that this is still a matter of doubt for many people, because everyone will definitely base all their judgments on the conditions currently being experienced by each team.
