Barca's upturn in form is no coincidence. They're very close to being an elite team already. In fact, with their best XI, they already are - top 5 in the world. They have an elite structure, balance in terms of natural runners in behind vs technical quality, and 1v1 threats.
Xavi has achieved this with one transfer window - just ONE, and the players he's signed aren't even ideal in terms of quality (Adama). They're just perfect profiles for HIS elite system which provide balanced to an already elite technical team in the first and second phase.
Barca fans created nonsensical problems over the last few years centering around how legends of their club aren't good enough anymore (J. Alba, Busquets, Pique, etc). It was disrespectful and in fact clueless. These guys are still *TOP* class. They just needed balance (runners).
Now they have that necessary balance and all of a sudden these guys 'look' world class again. No, they were always world class, & still are. All Barca need now is to A) tie Dembélé down or B) sign an ideal replacement. Then, they need younger players to displace the elite legends
