Yes and no, Barca was still a serious contender for a good 5 years afterwards, on all fronts. Hell, didn't they win the UCL in 2015, a year after Super Barca "ended"?

Kroos and Modrić faced a higher level of competition in Europe than X and I did in any of their UCL runs
Yes, but it wasnt really Super Barca. They were great but that era ended by the time Xaviniesta's peak ended.
It was MSN having an insane season in 2015, they went out of the quarters in 2016 and then Neymar left. The rest is history. Barca was falling behind RM ever since. While RM kept rising and rising.

As for the competition, I actually agree M&K faced tougher competition but not by a long shot. Kroos (although young) couldnt even make it into the Bayern team of that era. Juve was actually good back then.

Eh, Kroos got effed over by the Bayern administration at that time. Asked for a competitive salary, same as a player who's name I don't recall but a recent acquisiton to Bayern from around 2014.
Got told he wasn't worth that much money.
Real asked around, bought him and the dude quickly proved them very wrong.

Yeah, Kroos is good. But Bayern was extremely high level back then. I still remember being scared from ever playing them ever since, and the many years afterwards proved me right.
