The Catalan club qualified for the Champions League for the first time this season since Lionel Messi's departure in 2021.

Real Madrid and Barcelona's 2023-24 La Liga and Champions League seasons compared
Real Madrid and Barcelona's seasons have turned out like two opposite ends of the spectrum. On one hand, the Los Blancos secured their 36th La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana. They are now aiming to add another trophy by beating Borussia Dortmund in Wembley.
On the other hand, Barcelona have been tormented by financial constraints throughout the season and have failed to secure a single silverware.
In La Liga, Real Madrid were runaway winners with 95 points from the quota of 38 games. Meanwhile, the Catalan club ended the season with a distant second-place finish, scoring a total of 85 points.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid breezed past the group stages and defeated RB Leipzig (2-1) in the Round of 16. They then beat Manchester City (4-3 on penalties) in the quarter-finals, and Bayern Munich (4-3) in the semi-finals to reach the coveted Champions League final.
Meanwhile, the Blaugrana breezed past the group stages with ease. However, their Champions League run came to an end when Paris Saint Germain(PSG) defeated them 4-6 over the two legs in the quarter-finals.
Barca won the first leg 3-2 away. However, in the second leg, the Catalan side couldn't tame PSG's frontline after losing their center-back Ronaldo Araujo early because of a red card.
They will be looking to rebuild under their new manager, Hansi Flick, and come back strongly next season. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to get the Los Blancos their record 15th UCL title very soon.
