This is one of the factors why Real Madrid is called the king of the UCL. Madrid always surprises in the UCL, and is able to beat clubs that performed better that season. In the last few seasons, Madrid has only had the youngest and oldest players. Young players who are far from UCL experience, and older players whose performance is declining. But they were able to make European clubs not talk much.
Will this happen again in the final match at the beginning of next month? Because Dortmund also has more experienced players and young players who never give up in putting pressure on their opponents. Although in general I also don't doubt Real Madrid's ability in the UCL because it has been proven enough that Real Madrid is very strong in the UCL in every season even though last season Real Madrid failed to win the UCL last season.

Quote
This season's LaLiga was also the best for Real Madrid, suffering only one defeat. However, we don't know what will happen tonight when we face Real Betis, maybe Madrid will lose or draw. The reason is, Madrid has already won La Liga, and is only focused on UCL. Or is there another request behind this match.
There will be no other requests in this match because even if Real Betis wins, the team will also not be able to take the top six position from Real Sociedad. Likewise, if Real Betis loses, Villarreal will also not be able to shift Real Betis from seventh place in the final La Liga standings this season. So winning or losing tonight's match will have no influence on the position of Real Betis itself, as well as Real Madrid, which in general will not see any changes in La Liga.

Real Madrid is definitely a team that is always going to try to win the league, and they are also emphasizing the champions league quite well too. Look at just last year, Barcelona won the league, and while Real didn't win UCL, they certainly went further, and only lost to City, Barcelona on the other hand lost at groups last season, while winning the league.

However, just because Real is a great team, lets not act as if Barcelona isn't, sure they are not as good as they used to be, maybe they are no longer at that Messi-Xavi-Iniesta days of them, or not even Messi-Neymar-Suarez period of them, but they are going on a new period and trying their best, they won the league only last season, losing it this year shouldn't be making them considered so much worse than Real Madrid in a single season.

It will be very difficult for Barcelona to win the league next season if Real Madrid gets the squad they want and Mbape and Endrick join Real Madrid Barcelona will never win the league, I know that one day Barcelona will also work for the league but not next season because what Real Madrid is about to now is more than what we are expecting, did you think that if Mbape joins Real Madrid the team will not be strong than Barcelona? Mbape have not joined the team and the team performance is very strong what if he joined the team how would you think the squad would be?

Barcelona is still complaining of financial issues and you are expecting a good performance from a team that doesn’t want to sign new players, Barcelona just knows how to get players on loan and is wasting money on players that they can’t buy at the end, the way I’m seeing Felix and Cancelo issue both players are going to go to another team after leaving Barcelona on a loan because Barcelona doesn’t have money to buy them, even if they have money to buy cancelo they can’t buy felix because felix is a good player that any team can’t sell him for a small amount, the only thing that can make Barcelona win the league is when they buy more good players like Real Madrid if not it will take them two more years without winning laliga or champion league trophy.

Barcelona should definitely sell players who are not doing well with the squad. But the problem is that Barcelona do not have enough funds.   Barcelona will need to buy new players if they sell old players.   Barcelona are unable to add new talented players to the squad due to insufficient funds. Perhaps this is the reason why Barcelona management is not deciding to sell old players.
The only reason Barcelona is in such bad shape is the financial crisis. Xavi could have built a stronger squad if not for the financial crisis and would have been able to strengthen the Barcelona team as well.   Xavi is failing to stabilize this team only because of financial crisis.
You can always find an excuse for bad results, but in my opinion, the financial crisis did not prevent Barcelona from becoming La Liga champions. What has changed this season, and who do you think should be sold? Xavi has already said that they can sell Lewandowski, I understand what he is talking about, Barcelona has problems in attack, but perhaps the reason is not only Lewandowski, maybe the strategy that Xavi chooses also matters? Because he puts a lot of emphasis on defense, and in this case it’s difficult to expect the team to score a lot.

More importantly than which player Barcelona will sell, Barcelona need an experienced striker. Also this season we have seen poor performances from Barcelona's defenders. Barcelona's defense was relatively weak. Barcelona's defenders did not play well, especially against bigger and stronger teams. On the other hand, Barcelona have been reliant on Lewandowski to score this season too.

Barcelona need experienced striker and talented defender now. Barcelona's management will have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the defense and attack. And because of financial problems Barcelona team is not able to strengthen their squad.

I must say I love how they go hard on themselves whenever it has to do with the Champions League Competition season after season.
Barcelona won the league thanks to depth and experience with the squad who helped pushed the ideas and tactciopf Xavi Hernandez last season as he finally went on to win the League Competition. Real Madrid was knocked out by Manchester City and we all know they was in a beastly mood all throughout that season. Thanks to the fans of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola and the players who had a high mentality.

Barcelona needs depth, they was a poor side in the Champions League Competition, as Julian Nagelsmann made sure they was well dealt with in the group stage.

Barcelona maybe needs depth and if not that, they need specail players to help them in midfied because they have a good goalscorer who can still convert chances for them if it comes to him. Even before Messi, Neymar and Suarez, Barcelona has always been that club that thrives and they will do same next season. Recent news shows they have plans to bring in Hansi Flick for next season.

That's right, Barcelona hasn't been too bad this season. Only down 1 level from last season so we don't feel like Barcelona is in a slump. However, everything is linked to unresolved financial issues, making it difficult to maintain player stability next season. Rumors that several players will be sold are the reason that next season Barcelona could suffer the same fate. Meanwhile Real Madrid finances last season and now are not affected and can still strengthen the squad. Therefore, Real Madrid can be in a stable position and even next season will have additional strength. There are clearly visible differences in the management of these two clubs, and it is clear that Real Madrid has everything to be better prepared for next season.

Girona vs Granada

This season Girona can appears as dark horses teams who can able to broke the domination of big teams for top 4 position even at the beginning of season Girona can able to occupy 1th place for several weeks i think this is fantastic achievement and as small team Gitona also was displayed attacking style which very entertaining and it proven from their statistics that Girona as one of the team with the most goals with Real Madrid because during this season Girona can scores 78 goals even in the term of goals productivities their statistics is much better than Barcelona

Today they will got easy opponent because Granada is relegation team and their performance is very poor this season and about team conditions Girona will lost their defender player Miguel Gutierrez because of muscle injury but other player just like Artem Dovbyk in the good fitness and will be available today and recently i have checked the odds for this match and the bookmakers provide low odds for Girona win @1.23 but i think it's normal because if we see from whole conditions Girona certainly much better than Granada but if want to bets at higher odds i think over 2.5 goals also good because my prediction is Girona will beat Granada with big scores

Because if, for example, Barcelona sells several of its players next season, in my opinion that is also too risky. Because, the risk is that Barcelona will not necessarily get better players than the current players. So in my opinion, utilizing existing players is a way out of the problems Barcelona is currently experiencing.
There are several players whose performance may decline due to age and I think those who are old enough can be sold and bought new players, at least young players who have more ability and have the potential to be able to play in the main squad at Barcelona, after all the competition is very tight in Next season, if we continue to play experienced players, it won't be enough because stamina and performance are necessary, especially since league matches are also quite time-consuming, having young players will be good enough to maintain consistency.
But I don't know whether Barcelona has enough money to buy new players and sell their players, even though we know they are in a financial crisis, I am not a Barcelona supporter but what I see is that Barcelona should have lots of young players to fill the main squad so they can compete in the season. in the future and Xavi can rotate each of his players so that he can continue to maintain consistency next season, at least winning the Laliga title is already a good achievement, let alone the UCL which is certainly not an easy competition to overcome.
Actually, and I also think this is the best solution for Barcelona, they should just sell their players who they know are not doing well for them again, are old enough, and can participate with their full strength in the full season. You have a point. It always takes time when the league starts, and players who are not in good shape or are old may seriously deform. If there is no other player to replace, then there will be a problem, so to me, the best thing is to get new players with good performances. Sometimes experience does not only matter; strength also needs to be involved in football. 

Barcelona should definitely sell players who are not doing well with the squad. But the problem is that Barcelona do not have enough funds.   Barcelona will need to buy new players if they sell old players.   Barcelona are unable to add new talented players to the squad due to insufficient funds. Perhaps this is the reason why Barcelona management is not deciding to sell old players.

The only reason Barcelona is in such bad shape is the financial crisis. Xavi could have built a stronger squad if not for the financial crisis and would have been able to strengthen the Barcelona team as well.   Xavi is failing to stabilize this team only because of financial crisis.
Clubs will find it hard to buy players who are not performing well in their present clubs, so Barcelona will find it hard to sell their players who are not performing according to club expectations. Even though Barcelona wants to sell those players who are playing below their expectations, other clubs will want to buy them at a low price because they know they are taking a risk and they might not perform well either. Barcelona management should take a loan to be able to buy quality players in the summer and bring Barcelona back to its glory days. Selling old players is not an option for Barcelona because they lack the finances to sign quality players to replace the ones they sold.

Every clubs have challenges they're facing and looking forward to resolving them. Financial problems could with compromising positions and Barcelona is popularly recognized based on the heavy debts tagged on their name. Xavi Hernandez failed to dominate this season and thereby leading Barcelona out of the glorious path he paved for them the previous season. Barcelona have been through alot lately and their challenges can't be merely won but it comes with consistency in their peak performance.
Barcelona will only be able to show new performance next season if they have found more ways to improve that they need at the moment. Because if the team still has internal problems and the debt is still not settled, of course it will still be quite difficult for Barcelona to produce a brilliant performance next season. Because this season this has really been seen in the La Liga championship so Barcelona still needs new things that can solve the problems they are currently facing.

Xavi may have a plan to do some changes in the squad. This may be the reason why barcelona shall also sell its players. Araujo and de jong were on the list of players to be sold by the club too. Barcelona in the need of money. This can't be denied. The club is still being blacklisted from registering the new players by la liga.
It's clear that if barcelona shall also try to acquire some money in order to make its balance sheet stable and lift the ban given by la liga due to the financial problem faced by barcelona.
Whatever it is, what can be seen from this season is that he failed to make Barcelona strong and stable team, in the future he must be able to improve everything, but in conditions like this with very limited financial problems it will also be an influence on the slow development of Barcelona.
For Araujo and de jong, both of them are young Barcelona players and they are core players, there is lot of potential that these two players have so if they sell them it might be more complicated problem considering that finding young players with potential is currently not easy.
It just that if it is decision that is deemed right it will definitely happen and Barcelona will have to look for replacement players for next season, this is complicated problem and really makes Barcelona condition quite bad.
Financial problems are not an easy matter to solve, but if they try to fix them slowly, perhaps for the next season in 2025/26 Barcelona will start to improve and get out of the financial problems they are currently in.

Everyone wants Barcelona to sell their current players to sign new players to the club, so their performance should be better than this next season. We all understand the situation going on with the club, Barcelona did not have enough money to sign top players to perform at a high level because since Messi left the club this is the not the same Barcelona we once knew, if Messi does not leave as a free agent I believe they would have enough money to sign more players when he left. Even though the club decided to sell the halve of their squad I don't think they will have enough money to buy the top players they need. I hope we remember that two players are willing to remain in the club next season, Cancelo and Felix. I won't be surprised if Barcelona rely on their current players next season.

I don't know why this happened for Xavi and Barcelona. He was popular when he was working in Barcelona and he had a good performance in the last season but unfortunately during this season he couldn't have the same good performance anymore and they lost the La Liga title to Real Madrid.
However, Xavi thinks it was because of the bad financial situation in Barcelona and he said they can't buy players like the other team while I think he is right but Laporta doesn't have a good relationship with Xavi after he said that, and that's why it seems we can finally see Hansi Flick working in Barcelona since he is also interested for it.



Xavi is right, the club has enough players who went to another club on loan this season, and they were unable to sign players like other clubs. Xavi managed the club with the available players, and they will finish the season in the second position. I think the management expects the club to achieve more than this in La Liga with their current players, and I don't think that is going to happen even in the coming season because Real Madrid will always make it difficult for them. Although Xavi announced in the past few months that he's going to leave at the end of the season, maybe he already knows that his time with the club will end after this season. I don't think Barcelona would have another coach who can manage the players like Xavi Hernandez.

So true!!
Xavi prioritise the defence more than the attack I think there were many of defence players signed and brought in from lamasia or is it just cubasi?? That doesn't really matter actually.... maybe his focus was meant to be on defence last year then attackers this year . The team ihas enough defensive players for now more forward attackers are likely to be signed to balance things up and I hope xavi will stop is act of favouring player over another

This is actually true, Xavi still managed the players in his team when they won the league last season and he didn't complain about the financial situation of the team, and this season they were unable to win any trophy and a lot of complains came up, yes excuses are a result of not winning trophies but I think Xabi should have asked for more time instead of the excuses he's giving and considering his suggestion to sell Lewandowski next season may be to solve the problem of defense won't help the team in my personal opinion because lewandowski happens to be the highest goal scorer of the team selling him to solve the problem of defense will leave the attacking force empty because they will find it difficult to get goals.

I think, Barcelona manager will definitely do something in the summer season to replace some old players to bring in new potential players that will take the team to her next level next season, because the manager is not happy about the challenge that happened this season. If you look at the challenges very well, you will know that those challenges came from their strikers which is the reason many people are shouting for the Barcelona manager to allow the Robert Lewandowskii to go, because his old age is affecting his career. I don't think, Robert Lewandowskii have anything to offer to the team next season, because his performance has reduced in this season which Barcelona management have to look into it,  to know how to bring in new strikers that are young and potential in that position because Barcelona need to embrace next season title.
Barcelona is facing so many challenges about their players I think of their managers can listen to the what fans are saying it will more better so that the team can also improve with much performance if not with the way Barcelona are perform this days if they  will continue like I don't think the teams can do anything better this season again.

But even thought the managers bring new strikers this I didn't not sure that their aim will be achieve, the only things that a manager can do to make the team standard then before is that after signing the new players is for him to wait for the next season before starting used those new players so that will start the season with fresh blood players.

Of course, Xavi and management are not ready to let go of Lewandokwsi in the transfer market because Lewandowski role is still needed by the team. Another reason is that Barcelona has not found a player who is ready to contribute goals like Lewandowski has done. But it is true that he is getting aging and in my opinion Barcelona will use his services for the next one season because Lewandowksi is getting agin and his energy is starting to disappear when he has to deal with younger players. Yes, of course they can sell older players to buy young, better quality players, but Xavi probably won't do that.
Because of this, Lewandowski himself said that he wanted to stay at Barcelona next season and the club also said so. So, the possibility of him staying in Barcelona is very high. Yes, at least, he said that if he still wants to strengthen Barcelona and win more trophies, it's not just about himself but also about his teammates. I think he is still very good-natured and comfortable at Barcelona and he also still has a strong desire to strengthen the club which in fact is currently experiencing this problem. especially at his age, he is no longer young, he must also be thinking about dedicating himself to this club, it's enough to leave this club and find a club that suits his dreams and trophies.

Selling players who no longer have high productivity is one way for clubs to earn money and buy younger players to slowly build a strong performance foundation for the club, but all this cannot be done haphazardly because if you think about selling players who are no longer productive, of course very easy but there are also some negative impacts that must be faced.
For example, Robert Lewandowski, who is too old and actually doesn't have high productivity anymore, will definitely have a bad impact on Barca's attack line, which will experience a decline in performance when they don't get suitable replacement players.

Actually there are many other ways but it all depends on how management handles all this because currently Barca has big financial problems which really need to be resolved slowly.
Selling old players gradually may be the best way.
Of course, Xavi and management are not ready to let go of Lewandokwsi in the transfer market because Lewandowski role is still needed by the team. Another reason is that Barcelona has not found a player who is ready to contribute goals like Lewandowski has done.

Yes, of course they can sell older players to buy young, better quality players, but Xavi probably won't do that.

Barcelona certainly has to look for quality strikers to be able to compete strongly next season. Lamine Yamal is starting to show his best qualities but he is still very young and of course this is where Lewandowski is needed to support Lamine Yamal performance. Apart from that, it is difficult for Barcelona to buy expensive, quality players because their finances are still not improving, so this will prevent them from hunting for strikers who perform well in the transfer window.

I think Madrid can find some players as coatings so that losing Kroos next season will not affect Madrid's midfield too much.
Ancelotti can always think of his own way and that cannot be predicted so we only need to see what steps Ancelotti will take with their current conditions.
Last season we lost Benzema, who has always been regarded as the backbone of Madrid due to his contribution, and the loss of Benzema indicates that Madrid's attack could be a little less effective if they don't look for a new striker. Ancelotii was brave enough not to look for an alternative pure striker in the signing of players and he only brought Joselu and Brahim as replacement options but it actually worked this time.

Losing Kroos could also be the same because it is possible that Ancelotti will entrust several existing players and instead focus more on finding defenders and certainty about strikers who are strong indications now are Mbappe.
It can happen that when the crazy thought of Madrid not looking for a defender and instead making Tchouameni and Camavinga always in a post that is not their place is successful, it is not impossible if next season Ancelotti will assign a current player to replace Kroos' role on the field.
