Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

I've been reading a lot of talk about Real Madrid lately, with almost everyone favoring this club.
Why doesn't anyone believe Barcelona can be a strong contender and even reach the final next season?

Anyone who follows Barcelona's development will surely agree with my opinion, as Hansi Flick's arrival has slowly brought positive changes to the club.
It's very convincing that Barcelona can compete very well with the squad they have now.

Hansi Flick certainly did a great job, but let's not forget that he was already building on the good work done by the previous coach
You can't do miracles in one season, let's say it's always the result of something that's already there, in this case the previous work was useful

Anyone writing off Barcelona in the champions League is probably not current with their recent forms or does not understand the game well. Barcelona is a very tough team to contend with especially now under Hansi Flick. The recent signings and improvement of some of their previous players. Even though it appears that Barcelona is not usually lucky in the champions League but they will definitely be a hard nut to crack this season. Come 16th September, champion's league will kick off and every doubt will clear. But so far, if I'm to take a stand, I may not give it Barcelona to win this year's UCL but would possibly cross the semi final stage.

Barcelona is among one of the favorite clubs to win the Champions League next season from my own point of view, because they are strong and capable but they don't always show that commitment and dedication. They get kicked out in semifinals most times.

Next season might be something different. However, Barcelona squad isn't as strong as we think because if they meet other elite club in a different league, they show their weakness.

The next season may be even more exciting, but it is difficult to say how much Barcelona have improved compared to the previous season. It is not too much to expect more impressive performances from Hansi Flick, although with a number of new changes, Barcelona players will be able to start with the best success compared to the previous season. Flick has been in charge for a long time but Barcelona is not so far behind in terms of success. They still maintain a competitive position with other clubs in the world and will continue to perform more impressively in the coming days. Some may criticize the lack of the best players compared to the needs of the team due to their somewhat unstable financial position, but some significant changes in the team recently will take the club to a more respectable position in the future.
