It must be admitted, Hansi Flick has succeeded in making Barcelona develop to be better, he deserves praise for doing it in a short time. The financial crisis that was predicted to make Barcelona journey turbulent, has now become a motivating force for the team to be better. We know that Hansi Flick has not been able to fully maximize the potential of his squad, because a number of players are still struggling with injuries, but with the available players, the German manager is arguably able to meet expectations. Barcelona fans are certainly very happy with the current improvements, they now have high hopes for Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, Madrid with its ideal squad, has not found the expected rhythm of play, losing players like Kroos makes Madrid depth of play unstable. The addition of new players such as Mbappe and Endrick, makes Ancelotti have to experiment again to form a new system within the team. Simply put, Madrid is facing a transition era. With the problem of player injuries, it might hinder their journey a little. However, Madrid with its mentality is fairly easy to get up and get back on track.
I can't say that this is Barcelona's comeback season in La Liga, but as far as we can see, Barcelona is indeed growing. Their good performance was driven by the good performances of their young players including Lamine Yamal, Cubarsi and several others, but also due to the experience of the more established players. Lewandowski is in his best form, Yamal and Raphinha too, all three are weapons for the opposing teams they have beaten so far.
I'm not sure that Barcelona can complete their mission this season by winning the title that was won by Real Madrid last season, but if they win their away match to the Santiago Bernabeu, then Barcelona's chances of winning the title will increase. Hansi Flick basically has a difficult job, he is still having difficulty finding equally good rotation players when several main players are rested.
