Barcelona have secured UEFA Champions League football for next season with victory over Real Betis. Ansu Fati scored just seconds after he came on from the bench. After Betis equalized, Jordi Alba won the match with a superb effort to hand Barça a win in Seville.
What’s can we expect from Barça next season?
Xavi has shown that he can lead this Barcelona squad, helping them play fantastic football while also getting the needed results. Barcelona are a top side and the expectations will be high from next season on for Xavi.
At least…
Fans will expect Barcelona to mount a title challenge next season. Barcelona will bring in new players to bolster Xavi’s squad, so a title challenge will be on the cards.
Being an ambitious club, The Catalans won’t be happy just taking part in the Champions League. Barça have not won the UEFA Champions League since 2016. The ultimate ambition will be for them to win it next season, but that won’t be easy.
A lot will depend on how the Summer Transfer window goes for the club, where there might also be few players leaving the club. Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie will sign this summer with the club also tying down young talents on long-term deals.
Xavi wants to build the team around exciting young talents like Gavi, Pedri, Ansu Fati, and Araujo, so there might be a few old faces leaving.
Regardless, Xavi has his work cut out for him in terms of building a new young and competitive squad, but Barça fans won’t like to go the whole of next season without winning a trophy.
