Real Madrid's current condition is very different from Barcelona's condition. Real Madrid has everything they need to become a club that can dominate the league again next season. So it can be said that Real Madrid is even ready to fight again and defend its title in Laliga and also in the UCL.
Of course it's true, but it's just a possibility that basically can't be confirmed at all.
Real Madrid looks stronger because of its experienced squad and coach, but not always a strong team can win the title as long as the performance of its players is far from what is expected. The 2024-2025 season has not yet started and each team will try to improve and improve their squad with their own budget, so we will see how they perform once the season starts.
Last season, Real Madrid managed to win the Laliga title and become champions in the Champions League and of course that was quite a good achievement last season considering they didn't have a productive striker. This means that Jude Bellingham's big role last season succeeded in bringing about quite significant changes by delivering two prestigious titles. This season, management succeeded in perfecting the front line to be even more perfect with their success in recruiting Mbappe. So Real Madrid is certainly stronger than before and this must be an important point for us to assess how strong they are in defending the title this season.

Meanwhile, Barcelona's condition is quite worrying. Because we know that the new coach will bring a new strategy there and reportedly will even change Barcelona's playing style. This means we don't know whether it will work for Barcelona or vice versa. The adaptation process also definitely takes time. And not only that, I think Barcelona also has no intention of bringing in many new players because they still have financial problems that need to be fixed. But currently Barcelona is also eyeing several new players, even though they are not expensive players.
The new coach will bring new strategies and approaches to the game. Hansi Flick certainly needs time to adapt to his new team and he also needs to get to know the character of Barcelona's game better from day to day. Barcelona is not the favorite team to win the La Liga title next season, but Barcelona is still better than Atletico Madrid and the average of other teams in La Liga.

Nobody underestimates Barcelona and its squad every season. Barcelona can be a threat to any team that is favored, even when Barcelona is experiencing bad financial problems. Hansi Flick is expected to bring significant changes to Barcelona's performance next season, so don't judge them before the season starts.
Of course, whether the new coach will succeed in bringing big changes can happen or not. But what we know is that Hansi Flick is a caretaker who is quite experienced in formulating strategies and that will help him enough to bring Barcelona the title. Competition in Laliga will probably be tighter if Girona is able to maintain their good performance this season.
