Having taken home six consecutive titles, it is difficult to imagine how Barcelona could do any better and Catalunya coach Johan Cruyff agrees it will be difficult.
But as reported by Sport, the former Barca player has praised his former team and billed them to continue their winning ways.
"When they are playing well, they have shown that they can win without problems. And when they are not playing as well, they still demonstrate an advantage, a determination, an aura...something that makes them competitive until the very last minutes," said.
"It is exceptional what they have achieved and for now they can enjoy the moment. One thinks back to the epic victories of last season, except for La Liga and the Spanish Supercup, which they won head and shoulders over the competition: in the Copa del Rey, the penalty that [Jose Manuel] Pinto saved against Mallorca; in the Champions League, the goal [Andres] Iniesta scored in London; in the European Supercup, Pedro's goal in extra time; and in the Club World Cup, the goal in the final minutes along with the winner in extra time."
The Dutchman finished by emphasising that it would be very hard to repeat their past feats but didn't completely rule out another trophy-laden season.
"It will be difficult to do this again, but we will see in May."
