So, Barcelona are a mess. They have lost their La Liga title to Real Madrid, threw away a Champions League semi-final spot when it was there for the taking and have a manager in Xavi who resigned, was convinced to stay, and now might be sacked anyway at the end of a trophy-less campaign in Catalunya.
In terms of playing personnel, their best midfielders, Pedri and Gavi, missed the majority of the season due to injury, while their primary striker, Robert Lewandowski, has largely fallen off a cliff. They could yet lose one of Europe's best defenders in Ronald Araujo this summer due to crippling financial difficulties, so what is actually going right for the Barcelona?
Well, there is some hope. With the season slipping away, Xavi turned to youth - and the kids have proven to be more than alright. Lamine Yamal is, of course, the headline name, but a young cast is starting to show promise.
