Barça have struggled to maintain their position amongst the top clubs in Europe ever since Lionel Messi’s departure. The Argentinian maestro was vital to Barcelona’s success for the last fifteen years, but had to leave due to the club’s financial issues.
With La Masia being one of the most reputed academies in Europe, the current Barça squad consists of some of the most talented youngsters in football. Having a host of up-and-coming players amongst their ranks adds even more hype to the speculations about their FIFA 23 ratings.
