The opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League next season is still wide open for Barcelona, but that's how they can take advantage of every game in La Liga. There is still plenty of time to improve their performance. I'm sure they'll be able to get out of what they're going through now.
Apart from that I agree with your opinion, they are only a few points behind, it is not impossible with 1 or 2 games they can improve their position in the standings.
There are still 20 more games to be played by Barcelona, so there is still a very big chance for Barcelona to enter the top 4 to be able to play
in the Champions League next season. But to be able to compete for the La Liga trophy this season is impossible for Barcelona, so indeed finishing
in the top 4 is a reasonable target for Barcelona to achieve this season. Moreover, the performance of Atlético and Real Sociedad, which is
above Barcelona, continues to decline. While for Betis and Rayo in the next few games it is possible to lose a lot of points. The team that is
above Barcelona maybe only Real Madrid will play consistently, even Sevilla who are in second place I doubt they can play consistently in the next
few games. Most importantly Barcelona just focus on being able to win match as much as possible, and try not to lose a lot of points. That way
Barcelona can definitely finish this season in the top 4.
Making top 4 could be difficult now. Barcelona have more chance winning the Europea league than qualifying through the league bc la liga teams know how Barcelona play and it’s tougher especially the fact the they don’t have a player than can score goals. One of the most important strategies is they want to get to the top again is this- Get debt out the way. Grow youth. Sell away certain players. Renew worthful contracts.
It is not easy for Barcelona to enter the top 4, moreover Barcelona's performance has not been consistent. But Barcelona are quite active
in the transfer market, even now they have officially signed Ferran Torres, even though Barcelona have to pay in installments for 4 years.
This proves that Barcelona is serious about strengthening its squad at least so that it can finish in the top 4 this season. I also believe that
Barcelona will still bring in more players in the January transfer window. Because it would be strange if Barcelona didn't play in the Champions
League next season, That's why I believe the Barcelona management will fully support Xavi's desire to bring in some new players. In addition
to bringing in new players, Barcelona will also definitely release some players who do not make a good contribution. Another option is Barcelona
can win the Europa League trophy to be able to play in the Champions League. So I believe Barcelona's chances are still big enough to be able
to play in the Champions League next season.
