Yea they look promising as you said it is now obvious because their major rivals which Realmadrid isn't really encouraging in their performance unless we will be experiencing some improvement as next season will be kick starting very soon, Barcelona did extremely well last season with the financial crisis that made it impossible for them to get some sophisticated players to their team, they managed what they had which made them to win the two important trophy in their domestic league last season and I think that's a good one for but the thing is we can't actually tell what happens this season because apart from Realmadrid, we never can tell, there might be force cimg from unsuspecting teams, for now xabi has not improved Realmadrid yet, we still see those lapses that was their last season although we are hoping for possible changes when the league starts.

Last season Barcelona was able to deliver a great performance in the La Liga, but that doesn’t give you hope that they can do the same thing in the next coming season, as said earlier, that Barcelona has signed new players. By the way, Real Madrid also has a new coach who has much experience to bring a team to a good standard, so in this case the next coming season’s competition will be interesting and tough, as every team is getting prepared ahead of the season.

On a norms new coach always has his own strategies, which may actually take some time before Real Madrid can adapt. However, since training will begin before to the starting of the season, I believe that all of their delays will be fixed during training, preventing anything from impeding their competitive performance.

I have more trust in Barcelona rather than Real Madrid, the reason is that Barcelona kept the same manager, they understood what the manager wants to play, and they have a lot of young players that now have more experience. On the other hand there is Real Madrid with a new manager, many new ideas, and it's still not clear how they are going to play, especially for the midfielders because in the last 2 years they lost Casemiro, Kroos and now Modric: Valverde is world class but Camavinga and Tchouaméni still have to prove they are at Real Madrid level. There also is Arda Guler but he is quite offensive, playing him as a midfielder plus 2 offensive wings and the striker would create serious problems at the team's balance. I'm curious to see Xabi Alonso's plan.

Everything is possible for Real Madrid next season with Xabi Alonso. It's still a big question mark whether they can improve or not. On the other hand, Barcelona can certainly perform much better than last season. We saw the progress made by Hansi Flick last season, so the same, or even better, is likely to happen.

The title race between these two teams is certainly always on the table, but Atletico Madrid must remain a strong team, and there's a possibility that Atletico Madrid could enter a fierce battle with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga title next season.

The rivalry between the teams will continue. Barcelona and Real Madrid are always two of the most intensely competitive teams, and their Él Clasico derbies are among the most watched matches in the world. Last year, Barcelona dominated every match, but this year, Real Madrid doesn't seem likely to relinquish that lead to the other team. Real Madrid has a strong squad this season. Despite their heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, manager Xabi Alonso will put in the necessary work and get the team into a better training phase.

Barcelona hasn't changed much, so I think they will definitely be more solid because their squad is still the same, and they definitely have more trust in each other. While Real Madrid has done a lot of preparation, and they have been very active in the transfer window. So it's not just a new coach and strategy, but they will also need to adapt as many new faces are coming.

If we look at Madrid's performance in the FIFA Club World Cup, I don't think they will close their wallets anytime soon. Their back line is still inconsistent, and I think they still need another strong central defender because when Huijsen can't play, the duet of Rudiger and Raul Asencio is very worrying.
