The Blaugrana had to settle for second spot in La Liga last term, while they were eliminated from the Champions League in the semi-finals, but the Swede is confident that can fight for top honours again this season.
"It is a pleasure to watch Barcelona," Larsson stated to Barca TV.
"I think they can challenge for everything again. They have such essential players like Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta, [Lionel] Messi...
"Right now they are the best team in the world."
The 40-year-old then went on to praise Barca star Lionel Messi, and is confident the Argentine will win a fourth straight Ballon d'Or.
"Messi will win the Ballon d'Or, because he’s the best. I remember the first time I saw him in training and it was incredible."
Messi netted an impressive 73 goals in all competitions last season.
