Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos calculations Barcelona's finish in La Liga this season.

Despite a series of injuries and challenges in the transfer market, FC Barcelona has had an impressive start to the 2024/25 La Liga season, winning all three of their opening matches, including a recent victory over Rayo Vallecano. This strong beginning has sparked optimism among Barcelona fans, even though concerns about injuries and limited transfer activity persist.

Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos, however, has offered a cautionary perspective on Barcelona's prospects for the season. On his podcast, as reported by Diario AS, Kroos suggested that Barcelona might struggle to maintain their early form and is likely to finish in third place, behind both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. “Atletico Madrid will surpass Barcelona for the second-place spot,” Kroos predicted.
