What you guys actually try to agree on, is the step down by barcelona
They were top dog in europe for years. THE team to beat, the reference in attack and demolishion.
When Italy explained the peasant fuck world how to cope with tiki taki, and overpowered team started taking some motherfucking notes, a decline began. When the true hero of barcelona, who is offcourse Xavi, started to decay, this decline became much faster.
Today, barcelona is no longer the top team. They are now one of the contenders for the Cl. No longer clear top favorite. Like in the league, where their domminance has come to an end.
IS barcelona finished ? Offcourse not. Is tiki taki finished ? Nope, but its no longer seemingly invincible.
However, Their decay continues. They still got a stacked team with insane talent. But the balance is off. And they can no longer disguise the lack of duel power and defensive bravado in the midfield.
And here is the deal. They should probably invest in a few players, perhaps let some go (no, not messi). But with the transfer embargo, that becomes hard.
So no, Barcelona isnt finished. But it lost the status it had for about 5 years. (they lost that last season actually)
