With 3 wins and a draw in 4 days, FC Barcelona has little to be ashamed of at the start of the La Liga season. If Real Madrid is off to a very good start, leader of the championship, thanks in particular to a fiery Jude Bellingham, the Blaugranas intend to go back to back. But despite the late transfer window additions of João Félix and João Cancelo, Barça do not have the deepest squad in Spain.
And for good reason, AS does not hesitate to point the finger at the lack of depth, especially in the position of number 6 and striker. In the middle, Oriol Romeu was recruited. If the former Southampton player is a low-cost solution, the latter can and must be convincing in front of the defense. Because behind him, not many people. Frenkie De Jong can help out, but he’s arguably better when he has the freedom to project himself. In attack, AS makes it clear that Robert Lewandowski has no designated replacement. At the time, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had rendered very good services. From now on, the Catalans must especially wait for Vitor Roque, the Brazilian recruited this summer at a golden price (40 M) who will arrive next year on the front of the attack.
