Why did Barcelona La Liga play the Europa League?

According to the regulations of European football and FIFA, Barcelona's performance this season is not as good as expected.

1. According to the regulations of European football and FIFA, the Europa League is one of the football events of European clubs. Sponsored by UEFA, it aims to provide opportunities for non-European top clubs to participate in European competitions. Barcelona ranked first in La Liga this season, but due to EU regulations and other reasons, the Europa League is also open to the top four in La Liga, which is one of the reasons why Barcelona ranked first in La Liga but played the Europa League.

2. Barcelona's performance this season is not as good as expected: it does not have the strength and opportunity to compete in La Liga or Champions League, but by participating in the Europa League, it can compete for another international champion, which will add luster to the team and enhance its competitive motivation and morale.
