Add to that that pretty much every signing they've made since 2014 has flopped, and the squad last night had an average age of 30, there's not much going for them at all
It totally could be the start of a calamitous decline. I get that. Let's see how they do next season. Will they still be in decline if they win the league and have a good CL run?
Stonehedge-
I don't think it's the start of a decline. I think they're already mid-decline and picking up pace.
They nearly got knocked out in the previous round but Messi rescued them, there have been recruitment issues for the last few years which haven't got any better, and Zidane was close to being fired in September as Real have massively underperformed at times this year and Barca still trailed them.

The low point was supposed to be their elimination by Roma in 18/19, then the real low point was losing a 3-0 advantage to Liverpool last season. Then this happened.

Barca and Real win every La Liga, it's a pre-requisite rather than an achievement for them.
