The New York City star feels the Catalans have the quality to go all the way in three competitions and does not think they have changed their style of play
Former Barcelona attacker David Villa believes the Catalans have what it takes to win the treble again this campaign.
Luis Enrique's men currently sit top of La Liga, qualified for the last four of the Champions League this week and have a Copa del Rey final to look forward to,
Barca last won the treble under Pep Guardiola in 2008-09 and Villa thinks a similar performance could be on the cards this season.
"Barcelona are capable of winning the treble," the ex-Spain international, who now plays for New York City FC, told Marca. "They're leading in Spain, they're through to the Champions League semi-finals and are in the cup final.
"They have a great chance of doing so, but there's a long way to go yet. I hope they enjoy great success; it would make me really happy."
The 33-year-old then went on to laugh off criticism that Barcelona are less attractive to watch than in the past, stressing that winning is all that matters.
"The only way to do things is winning. Barca are winning and achieving things, even if they have changed their style, but for me they haven't.
"They play well, score goals, and concede very few. I'm sure that the fans are more than happy with them."
