Barcelona's performance in the UEFA Europa League shouldn't mislead people because they weren't caring about this tournament much. They could have been eliminated by even Galatasaray in an earlier stage of the tournament. They still were eliminated early actually as they were performing way below the level they were performing in the La Liga. I don't expect them to do the same in the Champions League next season. It is the important European tournament for them.
If Galatasaray had eliminated Barcelona in an earlier stage of the tournament, probably Galatasaray could win title. They could made a big surprise. It would have been a fairy tale for Galatasaray, but it didn't happen. Frankfurt eliminated Barcelona and they win title. It became a fairy tale for Frankfurt.

In my opinion, Barcelona was in transition at that time from its old coach to Xavy possibly still under performance. so their focus at that time was only on the strategy of uniting between players and how to be in the Champions League zone, So far Xavy was on target and able to realize it. But in the next session, if they don't upgrade the squad what real Madrid did, I believe they are still on performance like this, and for sure if they target only the UEFA cup it will be realized.

I actually believe that they had nothing more to achieve in La Liga as they knew Real Madrid was going to be the champions.
So, they actually tried to play the best in the Europa League. But they could not be successful, the reason is the defense of Barcelona. Other than that I think they had a very good chance. Barcelona really needs to worry about the defense. And another problem is if de Jong leaves Barcelona, they will have to worry about the midfield also.
I didn't pay much attention to the fact that Barcelona were knocked out of the Europa League cup, they played well there,
he has problems in attack, they can't score goals, and to make matters worse their defense always makes the same mistake as in the past before xavi was coach, I don't understand why this always happens in important gamesThis happens because the difference is not strong enough. The defense is the weakest link of Barcelona and the attack is not also the best. When we think about Barcelona as a whole team and how their attack is doing I think we might say that they don't have a bad attacking lineup. But if we compare them with the other close competitions I think they don't stand a chance against them. In big games, it seems like Barcelona is always making a few mistakes in the penalty box and conceding penalty kicks.

But in the next session, if they don't upgrade the squad what real Madrid did, I believe they are still on performance like this, and for sure if they target only the UEFA cup it will be realized.Xavi's goal was to stabilize the team and qualify for the Champions League. Xavi was able to meet his goal. Barcelona is now in a very stable position. At the same time, if Xavi is able to sign Lewandowski, then I think Barcelona will be ruled in La Liga next season.
Real Madrid have had a great season this season. They have won two important titles, the Champions League and La Liga. Yet theey have some weaknesses in their team. Such as over-reliance on Benzema and weak defense. If they can't fix these two weaknesses then their performance will definitely be bad next season.
Barcelona has done really well because their standing was not good at starting, everyone thought they might not even make it in the top 10. But they have certainly proved everyone wrong and they have made a really good comeback. And their coach did a really good job.
I think they perform really well and there is nothing to be ashamed of. they did not do very well in the Europa League and that is okay in my opinion after all that they have been through this season. I believe they will be able to play a lot better in the next season and have good competition with Real Madrid.
there is only one quick way for barcelona to have great power in a short time, which would be if they manage to have lewandowski, if they manage to have another good attacker and improve in defense and under xavi's command then it is almost certain that barcelona will win next season of la liga without much difficulty and they could go very far in the champions league, of course there is still nothing concrete about an agreement between barcelona and lewandowski, but I think that the management of the barcelona club should go after the lewandowski, if they want to be very strong then they need lewandowski. if barcelona is relying only on this squad of forwards next season then they won't get far and I doubt they will be able to win the la ligaI think they perform really well and there is nothing to be ashamed of. they did not do very well in the Europa League and that is okay in my opinion after all that they have been through this season.

I also agree that getting Robert Lewandowski on the Barcelona team will be really great for Barcelona. I honestly did not think Barcelona will be able to get Robert Lewandowski but according to some rumors, it seems as if Robert Lewandowski will move to Barcelona and Bayern Munich is also thinking about bringing in lukaku for a potential replacement.

this depends on what they will do in the future. Their performance is still not stable and they know that even though this season may be a very crazy season for them because this is the first time to see them on the verge of oscillation in terms of performance but clearly they are aiming for better and keep improving themselves.They have to restart the Champions League even better than before and this is probably their target too after competing in La Liga

Barcelona coach has a lot of work to do to improve the team in next season because many fans are not happy about the results they got from this season. Many small teams defeated Barcelona in this season base on their poor performance from past matches. I believe Barcelona will be great again because their coach will really introduce more strategies that will help Barcelona to perform well through out next season to embrace the title. I think, their coach will not miss this opportunity to help Barcelona to win next season trophy to appreciate the management for the opportunity.
If they are pure fans then they will not be disappointed with Xavi's work this season. Xavi came at a time when the team situation was chaotic and even, when Xavi arrived, Barcelona's position in the La Liga table was in ninth place or between seven and nine I forgot the exact place. Therefore, with Barcelona again able to finish in the top four and even become runners up in the La Liga standings, there is nothing to be disappointed about from Xavi. Indeed, in this case it is about the Europa League, but I believe this Europa League is not a main target for Xavi so yes, I think Barcelona are still good and the real fans will certainly be able to understand the situation that is happening within the team.Barcelona has done really well because their standing was not good at starting, everyone thought they might not even make it in the top 10.

Barcelona have come quite a long way thanks to Xavi's good management so far. Maybe they weren't very successful in the Europa League this season but their style showed us that they didn't care about the tournament too much. Because they were playing completely different in the La Liga and the Europa League. They were much eager to win in the La Liga. It is really great to see this improvement among Barcelona players because they deserve bigger successes in the future. If Xavi continues to make things work next season too, they can do great things.
I totally agree, the truth is they will start showing their level of play next season in the Champions League, and if they suddenly happen to drop out in Europa League again, I think it will be a bell that there is something wrong with the team, despite their success (again, if they do) in La Liga. They've rehabilitated themselves pretty well this season
I didn't pay much attention to the fact that Barcelona were knocked out of the Europa League cup, they played well there, but I can't say they were great. Lewandowski is going to move to Barcelona this summer, so I think it's a pretty good reinforcement and could help the team. And the end of the season for Barcelona has really been very good
The match could have gone either way. But Frankfurt was better. I believe that it was a deserved win for Frankfurt.They even eliminated Barcelona before and they won the title now. So congratulations. A tournament like a fairy tale for Frankfurt. This could be a football miracle that happens every few years and even decades.

I really believe Barcelona next season will be able to compete with any team, both in the domestic league and in the international arena.
With the presence of several new players, Barcelona will certainly have a new passion in playing football.
As we already know Barcelona managed to get AC Milan midfielder Kessi, I really believe Kessi will be able to lead Barcelona's midfield as he showed in Milan So that Milan can win the Scudetto.
Kessi has a very good game, and plays very relaxed so that he is able to compose a good game.
snip...
Barcelona did well as a team, Barcelona were not stable in performance and was going through some difficulties to always come out with a good result. But with time Barcelona began to play well under the watch of Xavi, Barcelona didn't just only improve but were able to meet up a good position in the standings. It is not easy for Barcelona to get back better position.
Barcelona wanted to bring Robert Lewandowski to the team. But I don't think they will be able to bring him. I think they will be looking for increasing the strength in defense.
Otherwise, they will keep making the mistakes that they have made in the last season and also in the Europa League. Xavi has done really well with this team and started bringing the results very early but I think he still needs some time with this team because the next season is going to be more competitive and things might take a turn for the worse for Barcelona.

After they made some significant changes in the system of the Europa League, we started to see a more interesting competition here. The team that finish the group stage at the first position are very comfortable now actually. They don't need to play an extra round as they are just waiting for their opponent to be decided by that round. I won't be able to say the same thing for the second placed team as they are having a matchup against teams that come from the Champions League groups. I started to like this system more compared to the first time I heard about it.
This is the reason why almost every team targets to be the first in the group stage. Because if you are in the second position there is a high chance of facing harder opponents.
It will be really hard for them to win these matches because they are facing teams that have been demoted from the Champions League to the Europa League and this competition is certainly not ideal. And the teams coming from the Champions League are obviously going to be determined to prove themselves and look for the opportunity to get promoted to the Champions League again.
