Yes, if it is certain that Barcelona will win the La Liga title then maybe it is natural for Barcelona to consider the European League not important. But in fact, Barcelona also at this moment still can't guarantee to win the La Liga title, right? Because the gap in points is very close to Real Madrid, at least Barcelona still can't guarantee to win the La Liga title this season.
Therefore, whatever tournament Barceoa is currently part of, of course it will be an important tournament for Barcelona.

Maybe the main goal is not to chase income or profits and or bonuses that will be obtained, but they must realize that as a big team, Barcelona should be able to win a title from one of the existing tournaments this season.
If later Barcelona won the La Liga title and can also maximize to win the Europa League title, then of course that would be very good, right. There's nothing wrong with or a low prestige to get a title, because when they do get the title they will be respected of course and that will have a good impact on the team as well.

"A bit" would be unfair for Real Madrid to tell the truth.  

Because I don't think Barcelona can have a comfortable run in the title competition this season. Real Madrid's poor results in the recent times shouldn't be misleading for anyone. I expect them to return much stronger by the upcoming matches. Benzema has recovered as it seems so this would add an extra strength to Real Madrid's attacking side as well. Barcelona have impressed everyone by losing only against Real Madrid so far. But it doesn't feel like they can maintain this perfect form until the end of the season. There would be times they also stumble so I expect this duo to keep fighting for the title even on the final week of the season.

What is certain is that Real Madrid will definitely continue to train until it becomes suitable for Real Madrid's game, Endrick is only 16 years old, at least when he was a child he will be nurtured properly by the management and once he is ready he will definitely be announced as the main player for Real Madrid and maybe he will be on the same level as Vinicius later.

There are suggestions that Karim Benzema has recovered from his injury which could confirm that Real Madrid are ready to field him, however this is not certain these are just rumours and there has been no clear decision he will play in LaLiga again after injury.
As for Real Madrid, they are looking for players to replace Benzema later, the rumors have been around for a long time, but Real Madrid don't have a definite target, but maybe we'll find out in this winter's transfer window.

Of course, it is the signing of Real Madrid's long-term project regarding his future squad. I don't know if Endrick will suit Real Madrid's game, but of course he is a young player who still has a lot to learn before breaking into Real Madrid's main squad later.

We may see Real Madrid sign some of the top players in the transfer market, they will have to especially now that Benzema cannot be expected to be fully fit for the remainder of the season. Benzema has been injured several times this season, and really Real Madrid should see that as a reason why they should bring in new players.

Real Madrid already know Endrick's potential to be contracted at a high price because this can indeed be said to be a long-term investment, see the value later after Endrick can adapt to the main players or at least at the age of 20-22 maybe that will be seen in terms of his game Now, we don't know how Endrick is, but I think Real Madrid has placed their hopes on young players who have been signed. Examples of successful players are Vinicius, Rodrigo and Camavinga. Real Madrid have managed to grow their game more and more.

Well, the issue of injuries is somewhat delicate, but it is that a team is going to collapse due to the fact that one of its best players has to rest, that is something that cannot be avoided, but in the case of Real Madrid , Benzema is not going to take him out this year, perhaps by 2024, we must remember that without him, Real Madrid would not have won anything, and Florentino Pérez knows that very well, he cannot be so ungrateful, besides the reputation What Real Madrid has is intact with its players, but rather let CR7 say so, who said that he would play for less money there, and that is what this type of club achieves when its players are treated well, the loyalty.

Well, in that aspect, and as you say, you are absolutely right, for me Benzema is one of the best players who is actually the one who has contributed the most to Real Madrid, and I think that for now they have to be somewhat patient, but they have to looking for a striker with characteristics similar to those of Bezema, and that is something very difficult, he is a unique player, he has to have that determination and we must not forget that thanks to Benzema in the last thing he has done for Real Madrid, the victories have been thanks to him, and this is something difficult for the pklantel to look for a player, I really would not like anyone, but rather trust who I have.

On the other hand, transfers and purchases are already becoming evident at Real Madrid:

Real Madrid look set to sign €10 million Brazilian defender


Source: https://therealchamps.com/2022/12/16/real-madrid-set-sign-brazilian-defender/

Well, everything is in favor of continuing to improve the team, clearly sometimes in Real Madrid there are certain vulnerabilities in the defense, if they take a Brazilian, what I like is that a Brazilian always thinks of defending and attacking at the same time, That will make Real Madrid a much stronger team.

Yes, I agree with you that of these 3 names from Real Madrid's posture, they still have to find players to become target men on the front lines. Because as we usually see, Real Madrid always uses players who have the posture that can compete in the air when defending the opponent. The prospects they are currently doing are very good, but they also don't forget the characteristics they need at the moment, especially to replace Benzema.

Real Madrid are currently having a bit of a problem with their attack. Their team lacks some experienced players, and if Karim Benzema leaves their team, it will have some adverse effect on their team. Hope the Real Madrid authorities will solve this problem soon.

Real Madrid succeed with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo and these players even can grow more. They are trying to use a same strategy for Endrick by give him and his family a good contract at his very young age.

With the height of three players, I don't think any of them are good at the striker position for Real Madrid. I believe that Real Madrid will have to look for another striker from transfer market. But maybe these players will create a trio attacking like MNS (Messi - Neymar - Suarez) in Barcelona years ago. None of three players have good heights and Vini, Rodrygo, Endrick can create a similar trio attacking.

Because after all Madrid still has Karim Benzema, who has recovered from his injury and he is still very reliable for Real Madrid, at least until the end of this season. I'm sure the Madrid management already have several names on their radar list, for them to target as potential replacements for Benzema later. So, we don't have to worry about what Madrid's management is doing. Moreover, several names have been linked, such as Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, who are ready to replace Karim Benzema's role later.

As for Endrick. yes, Real Madrid had to pour out sizable funds with player investments instead. Endrick has also been chased by several other giant clubs such as PSG and Barcelona. so it's only natural that Madrid wants to secure this boy as one of Madrid's future prospects.

Winning tournaments can help Barcelona finances, compensation from the Champion in official competitions can balance Barcelona finances. Barcelona will not consider La Liga more important than the Europa League, at the moment All trophies are very important for Barcelona.
The direction of Barcelona to become a Champion has been seen, even though they have been eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona is still able to survive in first place in La Liga. Meanwhile in the Europa League, Barcelona must be able to beat Manchester United to move on to the next round.

Barcelona's main problems are undoubtedly financial, but I wouldn't say that Xavi is not a problem. Besides being an inexperienced coach, he is a very good player in the first place - it's a problem to be a coach as sometimes he doesn't understand that players can't do things that he could when he was a player. Secondly, in my opinion, he is a bad coach because he is not at all flexible. Throughout his career, he came to success through one strategy both in the national team and in the club. And he tries to repeat it without realizing that football is changing and what worked yesterday will not work tomorrow.

Which might be able to help talk a lot about the quality of the players that were brought in. But sometimes they also fail to get performance from players who have high transfer values. If you look at Manchester City and Napoli, maybe indeed they can be said to be successful in signing talented players, but that is only part of the successful teams. Just look at Liverpool, who this season brought in players on the front lines. But they do not share the same fate as Manchester City. There luck also speaks a lot in my opinion.

Real Madrid seems with long term investment after reach agreement deal transfer Endrick and have to pay more than 72 Million Euro, actually due La Liga and European regulation, Madrid need waiting until two years later and Endrick have 18 years old to be Real Madrid player. Not first time spent much money for recruiting young talented, have memorize with Vinicius Jr contract with expensive transfer values and he still at young age before become talented player right now.

Nowadays, Real Madrid still have problem with center forward and spent more than 73 million euro seems not effective, actually have spent 72 million euro for sign new center forward and can replace Karim Benzema position after many time absent due injured.

I agree, but I would like to point out that it is not just the current president, he has had disastrous presidents for some time now. Laporta in this case has taken a flight forward, something like the one who is drowning in loans, takes a payday loan as a last resort to see if a miracle happens to help him out of the situation.

Barcelona has a lot at stake this season, as a mediocre result could lead to profound changes in the club's structure. And I am not only referring to the sporting structure, but also to the club's corporate structure.

At the moment it seems to be going well, we will see how things continue now that the games resume in a couple of weeks.

I guess that laporta was also doing shady things to the barcelona's financial pretty much the same like what happened with ac milan. La porta was selling barcelona's tv right with very cheap price and barcelona will not have any income from there.
I thought that the financial clever that already taken by barcelona was shady trick by laporta to get money. https://www.eldesmarque.com/barcelona/fc-barcelona/noticias/204558-joan-laporta-destroza-al-barcelona-y-regala-a-los-dos-mejores-del-mundial-por-un-precio-ridiculo

I agree with you, that is why many teams are still progressing in this season because their managements spend a huge amount of money on a talented players that is helping the team to achieve what they want. Example, Napoli managements spend money to sign in potential attackers that is giving them a good results to be part of those teams that are in a good position to win this la Liga league title. Example, Manchester city are still maintaining their performance from the beginning of this tournament, because their management spend a huge amount of money to sign in Haaland which they are enjoying his performance in this season.

The new investors mean that Barcelona is already owned by another entity but it's not owned by members again. Barcelona was not owned private entity and don't you know this? Barcelona will not be able to get huge funds since the billionaire will not be able to acquire barcelona because the share that has already been sold is still less than 51%. The only chance for barcelona to get another fresh fund must be coming from selling the remaining shares to the big investors who will be able to acquire the clubs.
Barcelona has a very large debt and that will be the hardest thing to recover. Even the billionaire who wanna to buy the club must also pay the debt.

Barca's problem is the president, Juan Laporta. Laporta the politician.
Messi was used to win the election and then kicked out by Laporta with pique's advice.
Laporta is as useless as Barca players going to the national team. This is everything we need to know about Barca.
Barcelona selling clothes now. Broke club. lol

I know you're referring to the Ronaldo-Messi era in la Liga, but still, Real Madrid and Barcelona were even way more lethal than they are right now. Both team could score 5 or 6 goals almost every passing week, with Messi and Ronaldo bagging hat tricks or braces

I think the argument of a league being interesting is subjective. EPL has an advantage because they get way more media coverage than any other leagues, so the money flows in. If you talk about competitiveness, there are so many leagues that are way more competitive than EPL.
