Barcelona needs to handle all of this debt business before they can grow again, but with bringing all these young players a few years ago, they handled most of it. Because while other teams were busy trying to find players to buy, Barcelona ended up getting some kids from La Masia and ended up getting the title again. One trouble is that they are not doing great at UCL, losing to Inter was bad.
But Flick has turned this team into something seriously unbelievable. Winning the league, the cup, and semi finals of UCL, on his first year, was something otherworld. I am sure that he is going to end up with a success again this year but it will be harder this year because Real had a lot of injury issues, they may not have the same thing this year.
It's no wonder La Masia is considered the world's best academy because it consistently produces quality young players almost every season. The presence of young players from the academy is very helpful for Barcelona, which is trying to overcome financial problems. Now Barcelona has become a nightmare for Real Madrid in the hunt for the La Liga title, as evidenced by last season's dominance in El Clasico and ultimately winning the trophy.
This season, Hansi Flick squad looks more complete and stronger after bringing in several new players. The positive results achieved in pre-season matches prove Barcelona is ready to defend the La Liga trophy and pose a threat to other teams in the UCL.
