I wonder how much it'll cost Barca if they start sucking United style. United with all the EPL benefits have stagnated revenue wise since 2017, basically not growing at all, while most of their competitors kept growing at a fast pace (until Covid of course). Barca might even go backwards.
Yeah, it is inevitable. The don't have the same marketing power now that Messi has left. If you look at the squad, they have at best 3 exciting players in FDJ, Fati and Perdi. The rest are meh.
Sporting and financial stagnation is already there for them, they haven't cut their loses fast enough. If they don't find anything in their academy, they're in for an interesting future.
Long term I can see them recovering, everyone is deep in debt these days after all.
Thank fuck Juve pulled the trigger on Tici and that galactico project. Perhaps a bit too late due to complacency.
