The point is, Barcelona is truly greatly helped by La Masia. Because if Barcelona didn't have a great football academy like La Masia, I think they would be quite struggling right now. Because as we know, Barcelona is currently experiencing a financial crisis, so it is certain that Barcelona will not be able to buy too many players because of this. The proof is that in this season's transfer window, Barcelona only bought one player and only loaned one player, namely Raspord. So with this, it is clear that Barcelona currently does not have much money to bring in many players. In addition, it seems that Barcelona currently does not need too many new players, because the players Barcelona currently has are certainly more than enough to make Barcelona able to win trophies again next season.
So with this, Barcelona can raise money to pay off its debt, which is currently quite large. And regarding Barcelona's competition with Real Madrid, I think in the coming season Barcelona will still be superior to Real Madrid. Because the problem is not about Real Madrid having injured players or not in the coming season. Because I am very sure that even though Real Madrid's players will not be injured in the upcoming season, I still predict that Real Madrid will still have difficulty competing with Barcelona.
From the most played players (by minute) last season. Pedri is second most played, only 21 years old, and from La Masia, Yamal is the third most played, only 18 now, and from La Masia, Cubarsi is only 17 years old, and from La Masia, Balde too.
So when you think about all the players they get from there, they are really getting a ton of players from La Masia all the time, and there is really no logic in them focusing on getting more players from transfers. Getting free agents is fine, you do not pay a huge fee when you sign a free agent player, you end up with someone who does a good job, and that makes sense. I think that's the most important part, and if you can do that, then you can definitely allow yourself to get a lot better results.
