Barcelona is no longer the Barcelona with Messi or Ronaldinho. I want to be optimistic, but there seem to be so many problems. With the economic crisis, the players' situation, and the coach's process of adapting the team, I hope Barcelona will return to its old strong days. I would love this. We are used to seeing them as one of the 2-3 best teams in Europe.
Barcelona's golden era has ended and now they are in a new era. It is undeniable that Barcelona is now no longer the best competing team in Europe either in the Europa League or in the Champions League, even in La Liga they are really struggling to win a place in the Champions League zone. This kind of situation is not what they want by nature, but it has happened and they are just working to fix it.
Barcelona needs time to improve everything, but sometimes people expect them to be strong without strong financial support. Real Madrid is clearly in a period of glory, but it's not certain they can stay like this forever without financial problems. Even other top teams may still have problems in the future, but we don't know when.
Barcelona's problem is that they don't have an intelligent person managing the club. If they had a competent and intelligent person to manage the club then right now they would be a team with the money to sign any player they wanted. But unfortunately, Barcelona is unlucky to have a leader who is stuck in the past and who makes decisions driven by feelings and without meaning. When they have the opportunity to sell a good player, they let the player expire his contract and become a free agent and with that Barcelona gains nothing. Also, the team has not been able to buy good players for a low price and then sell them for a very high price.
With this direction from Barcelona, they have been asking for loan of players when there is no concrete plan to buy the players, so there are situations where the player arrives on a 1-year loan and leaves because Barcelona doesn't have the money to buy him. . This type of bad behavior keeps great players away from going to Barcelona, honestly in my opinion any good player who goes to Barcelona will destroy his career
