FC Barcelona: Upcoming Fixtures and Season Preview
2023/24 Season Outlook
FC Barcelona embarks on a new season with renewed optimism, aiming to reclaim their spot among Europe's elite. Led by manager Xavi Hernandez, the Blaugrana have undergone a significant squad overhaul, bringing in several high-profile signings and shedding some underperforming players.
Key Additions and Departures
Barcelona's summer transfer window was dominated by the blockbuster arrivals of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich and Raphinha from Leeds United. Both forwards are expected to bolster the team's attacking firepower, which has been a major concern in recent seasons. On the departure side, Barcelona bid farewell to long-serving midfielder Ivan Rakitic and defender Gerard Pique. Memphis Depay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also left the club, making way for the new signings.
League and Cup Ambitions
Barcelona's primary target this season will undoubtedly be the La Liga title, which they last won in 2019. Real Madrid will be their main challengers, while Atletico Madrid and Sevilla will also be in contention. In the Champions League, Barcelona will be looking to make a deeper run than last season, when they were eliminated in the group stage. With the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the mix, however, the road to the final will be arduous.
