Barcelona is on the brink of losing key players Ilkay Gundogan and Vitor Roque, as the club grapples with financial difficulties. Gundogan seems set to return to Manchester City, while Roque may head to Real Betis on loan.
Gundogan's departure could be a significant blow for Barcelona, given his key role in the midfield last season. Roque, despite his hefty transfer fee, hasn't been able to secure a consistent spot in the lineup.
With a string of players injured or leaving, coach Hansi Flick has had to turn to Barcelona's La Masia academy. The team has shown resilience, with young talents like Lamine Yamal stepping up. However, the road ahead remains challenging as the club aims to compete at the highest level.
