Barca decline was brewing for many year but kinda became very clear in 2017 when they got spanked by Juventus 3-0 in the Champions League. Lost the La Liga title to Real Madrid. Coinciding with the fact losing Neymar that summer to PSG.
Plus buying spending their money poorly. They spent a lot of money on players who weren’t good enough or have simply not been consistent enough. Here’s some of the players they bought from the summer 2017 to summer 2019:

•Coutinho £142 million (2018)
•Malcom £40 million (2018)
•Griezmann £108 million (2019)
•De Jong £77 million (2019)
Total: £565 million
