If we look at it, Lewandowski is not very productive for European competition and I quite agree that before next season's Champions League begins, Barcelona must bring in an alternative striker if Lewandowski again fails to show his fangs in front of the opponent's goal. The age factor is sometimes one of the determinants of whether a player can continue to be consistent in order to be able to contribute to the club or not and that is what Lewandowski is currently experiencing. I think with Barcelona's current finances it is quite difficult for them to bring in a classy striker, but if they want to bring in a player it can be on loan and it seems that Barcelona still have enough funds to do that.

Barcelona will play in the champions league as the first team in La Liga so they could hire any good players yet an I think they need to hire an alternative for the forward Robert Lewandovki too because he is getting old and he can't show good performance in the next season.
While because of their bad financial situation, they even hire normal players they need.
This can be the reason today we don't expect to see strong Barcelona in the champions league.

How is it actually possible that a team like Feyenoord is now placed in the draw for the CL? I understand that if Inter Milan had won the title in the CL, Feyenoord would have ended up in group 3 in the draw. There is of course a very big difference between them. If we do look at the draw for next season's CL, I think Man City is again a huge favourite. PSG are not even close with Messi's departure. And maybe Barcelona can once again seriously compete for the title like they used to.

I personally think that the Europa League should be the only tournament together with the Champions League. The appointment of the Conference League should not have taken place, but I also understand that it is a commercial thing. All a lot of turnover for the football association, and in this way very small teams also get the chance to participate in a European round. But the difference in the prize money between all 3 tournaments is of course bizarrely high.

This team, too, is one of my favorite teams besides the Gunners. As a Barcelona supporter, I'm happy they won La Liga. Now, Xavi is preparing for the new season and once again competing in the Champions League. unfortunately for me personally, Barcelona cannot be said to be a strong team in this competition. at the very least, they needed more team depth. in a way, bringing in some newcomers. unfortunately, financial problems prevented them from moving freely in this summer's transfer window.

IMO, ideally, if Xavi can bring Gundohan and Bernardo Silva to Camp Nou. Barcelona has new additions of ammunition, even they will be stronger than before. I'm pretty sure, with these two players at least Barca deserve to get to the last eight or the quarter-finals. for trophies, it looks like there are some stronger contenders than them. one more thing, like Arteta, Xavi often makes blunders and mistakes in the placement of his players. plus, the lack of players who play a role in helping Lewandowski. however, let's see how Barcelona will carry out the match in the new season and at the same time when they play the match in the Champions League.

It is time for Barcelona to prove themselves in the CL. Already knocked out a few times in a row in the group stage of the CL, for a big club like Barcelona that is quite a let down, we can say. The difference in level and performance between Real Madrid and Barcelona is enormous in the CL. The last time Barcelona came close was a few years ago, when they beat Liverpool 4-1 at home but eventually lost 3-0 away. They also had bad luck afterwards by suffering a 4-1 defeat at AS Roma, while it should have been played at home. But this team under Xavi seems to have a lot of resilience and technique. I do expect a good season in the CL of Barcelona this season.

Barcelona is obviously still in big financial problems. Because Barcelona literally had to sell their TV right to afford the players that they did. So I would not say that the financial situation of Barcelona is good at all. Barcelona is just trying to somehow get-go to enough players in the squad so that they do not fall down on the La Liga table too low.

I do not know if Barcelona will actually be able to bring in any more players to the team. Personally, I think Barcelona should not bring any players into the team right now if they are financially unable to do that. They should try and see what they can do with this team in the Champions League. If possible, Barcelona should get rid of some players that they do not want in the squad. that is going to reduce the expense of salary.

Barcelona is indeed great even though it is in various problems such as financial problems and being accused of a bribery scandal to the referee, but Barcelona can win the Spanish league this season. This is proof that Barcelona under the leadership of Xavi Hernandez continues to develop, it is true that there are still a few shortcomings because Xavi Hernandez, when many of his core players were injured, Barcelona's game decreased drastically or consistently. Because so far Xavi is still relying on these players without prioritizing rotation.

But I also believe in Xavi Hernandez's progress, all stages of the league, maybe next year or in 2-3 years Barcelona can return to the way it used to be competing in the UCL and even a champion. The point is to be patient and believe that Xavi Hernandez can't be instant in building a strong team after the transition and experiencing financial problems.

It's just Imo, Xavi Hernandez has the potential to become a big coach like Pep Guardiola because both of them are former players who are intelligent on the field and when they became coaches both of them were known to be able to concoct smart strategies that prioritized strong defense and a variety of attacks from creative wing and midfield sectors.

Regarding financial problems, I personally don't see Barcelona experiencing these problems because after all, how can it be when Barcelona has financial problems but last season Barcelona was able to get several star players in the transfer market. But the truth is, Barcelona still can't get the expected results in the Champions League. Therefore, I wonder how much more money Barcelona will need to spend, because last season Barcelona spent a lot of money even when the status of the club was experiencing financial problems.

I perceive that Barcelona's journey to restore its past glory, especially reminiscing about the Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta period, is a long-term project. While the club holds the reigning Laliga championship title, which they are undoubtedly keen to defend, their immediate future does not seem to feature a UEFA Champions League trophy. As a neutral fan, I feel that Barcelona, under the leadership of Xavi Hernandez, is still in the developmental phase and lacks the wherewithal to become a major European contender by next year.

Barcelona is without doubt a great club with with intimidating football history and are also the current champions of Spanish La Liga who'll surely wanna continue from where they stopped last season when the new season kicks off.
However I don't think that Barcelona will be competitive enough to win the UEFA Champions League title next season because they don't have the tactical ability to do it. Xavi Hernandez is doing a great job in the sqaud by rebuilding and restoring the confidence that's needed to deliver good performances but he's not yet arrived to the point that they should be seen as a major contender for the European Cup come next season.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Xavi's strategy, but sometimes it is quite difficult to win, and they have only been able to score an average of 1 winning goal in every domestic league match this season. Therefore barcelona will only be able to master Spain and for the champions league competition they are still not able to be consistent.

I think if barcelona is still in the same form as last season then there will be no change for the champions league next season. It has been proven that Barcelona really needs new players to be able to rotate their players in order to get better results, but we also know that this club is also in financial trouble, so that is quite impossible to do.

Yes, unfortunately I'm not optimistic about Barcelona's chances to win the Champions League again next season.
Barcelona has been in organizational and financial chaos for a long time.
As a result, they lost their main player Messi and have not yet recovered from it.
The last time Barcelona were competitive in the Champions League was when Pep was the coach at the club.
I believe that Barcelona then had a chance to become what Manchester City is now, but it didn't happen due to internal problems at the club and Pep is now creating a new football dynasty in Manchester, a club and team that will dominate in England and in the Champions League for a long time.

To be honest, if you will not even find messi, xavi and iniesta again. That era already passed and we are heading toward the new era where so many young talented players become next generations of great players.
Barcleona has some great young talented players like gavi. The fact that if iniesta is still looking for the professional player that can help the young talented player to be even better.

That's why arsenal aimed to get some fully experinced player like gundogan or someone else.
Im fully aware if the next target aimed by barcelona will be UCL but there must be so many improvements to be made by barcelona to make it happen.

The Laliga championship is the one Barcelona shouldn't lose, at the very least. The champions league, however, is not one of them. Barcelona is still in the process of developing, so they can't aim to win the UEFA Champions League by next year. The Barcelona players, as much as the fans, are aware that they haven't developed to that point yet. Building Barcelona back up to the powerful team it was during the period of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta is going to take a lot of time.
I'm interested to see how Xavi plans to add new players to the Barcelona squad despite the club's ongoing financial difficulties.

Not going to talk about Barcelona too much because I didn't think they have too much change because of the players they have and the financial situation they have however Xavi can be a great advantage there.

I think Guardiola can even win the Champions League for another time if he continues this performance from him this season however this time he will play against stronger Real Madrid which is going to be a harder game for him.

I think it will take time for xavi to bring Barcelona back strong in the Champions league. Last season Barcelona was eliminated in the grub phase and this season we hope Xavi can bring Barcelona further forward in the Champions League.  I think one of the best strengths that Xavi has this season is their success in winning the Laliga which makes them more confident for next season in the Champions League. Xavi is not full of experience in the Champions League yet, but I see that he has quite the same character as Pep and it's just that he needs time and a long process to bring Barcelona back to become the strongest team in the Champions League.

What works for Pep Guardiola might not necessarily work for Xavi if he can’t employ the strategy very well. Anyone can have a different approach in the style of play in the field and it’ll work for them both. What is more necessary is to be able to use your strategy well and also be able to counter your opponents strategy when they come striking (attacking) at you back. I don’t see anything wrong with Xavi’s coaching style, he just needs to know how to use it well in the champions league game too.


Priorities matters in all of this. La Liga is important to win just like the champions league. At least if he can’t win both, he shouldn’t lose both of them. I respect Xavi’s coaching style and I’m sure he’s going to do better by next season. The team is currently facing financial challenges, but I hope they’re able to find a way out to be able to sign new players to fill the void against next season, most especially the champions league competition.

You can compare what City do with their players, the only thing I know is that the expensive players who buy are Grealish. even Haaland's price, far more expensive than Antony and Casemiro. Likewise with Akanji, City bought it cheaply. what about Jardon Sancho, he was bought expensively from Dortmund even though he only sat mostly on the bench. So, let's be realistic that United are more invested than City. but the result, City is much better. I don't enter to compare, but thanks to Pep Guardiola City have been able to dominate the Premier League more this season and the Champions League at the same time.

United, in the hands of Ten Hag they were much better, even I have to be realistic to be a neutral sporter.  although some of what they brought in was too expensive, at least it was worth it because they were able to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League. Well, we haven't heard how the news of this acquisition will go. However, what you need to know is that Qatar is really serious about acquiring Manchester United. why, because after all United is a club that has the most supporters in the world. plus, there is competition between Qatar and Saudi. that's why, I believe the Glazers will leave Old Trafford. otherwise, Qatar will try to get it through political channels. there are things that Qatar can offer, which cannot be refused by England, especially when it comes to winter. but wait, this is just my personal opinion, does not describe what actually will happen. that's why, I don't want to involve politics and football.

Arsenal, I have to be realistic. even though I am a supporter of The Gunners, from the depth of the team, City is one level above them. after all, they did their best anyway. but unfortunately Arteta failed to bring his team to a trophy, even though there were several factors that were the problem. As a football lover, I enjoy every game the Gunners play more, and it doesn't involve sentimentality. because, they always show beautiful games even though they are not always consistent in every game. after all, going ups and downs is commonplace for all teams.

Since 2015, Barcelona never won Champion League tittle and the best achievement lead until semifinal stage, but tragic last two season under Xavi Hernandez era Barcelona have been eliminated from group stage. Its seven years Barcelona can't win Champion League tittle and difference with the rival team Real Madrid success dominance become the winner in several times.

Talking about next season, seems Barcelona is not favorite team exactly when facing bigger team like Bayern Munich or Inter Milan in group stage. Can't guarantee for Barcelona has good performance in domestic league get impact in Champion League, this season Barcelona success winning La Liga and become fewest goals conceded teams but in Champion League Barcelona conceded many goals on group phase. Lest see with Barcelona participants in Champion League next season, will fail reach to knock out phase or success lead until final stage.
