FC Barcelona may be in a situation that could be described as disastrous off the pitch, but it is clear that on the pitch, the team is doing very well. The team coached by Hansi Flick has started its Liga season in the best possible way, with three wins in three games, with two always complicated away games to negotiate at Valencia and Rayo Vallecano, and a home game against a good team in the championship like Athletic. The German already seems to have put his mark on the team, and the observers and fans of the club are delighted.
On Tuesday night, on the Rayo pitch, everything had started badly. Trailing and struggling to move the Madrid team, the Catalans had to wait until the second half to free themselves. It was the entry of Dani Olmo at half-time that changed everything. Finally registered with La Liga on Monday afternoon, the 2024 European champion was able to take his first steps as a Blaugrana.
A decisive entry
And it’s fair to say that the wait was worth it. He immediately took charge of the team, being in all the good moves up front. A good number of good balls distributed, classy moves, a shot on the bar, then that second Catalan goal, with a perfectly executed flat foot shot to the opposite post after a pass from Lamine Yamal. A dream start for the man who had left La Masia to try the challenge in Croatia during his adolescence. Clearly, no need for time to adapt for him.

With him, we had more control of the ball, we combined better. He was the big difference in the second half compared to the first.”explained Hansi Flick after the match, more than satisfied. It must be said that when we see the great understanding displayed between Olmo, Pedri or Lamine Yamal, the German and the Barça fans have reason to be optimistic for the future…
