FC Barcelona impresses at the start of the season. After its great success against Valencia (0-5) at Mestalla, with goals from Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri, Barça already has 17 goals in just four La Liga days. This is the club’s best offensive start to the season since the arrival of Hansi Flick on the bench, proof that the Blaugrana can be particularly effective without a real professional number 9. Lamine Yamal scored another brace, while Raphinha found the net for the fourth consecutive match.
Barça’s strength also lies in its ability to multiply offensive threats. The Lamine Yamal-Raphinha-Gordon trio has been involved in 13 of the 17 goals scored since the start of the championship, while Fermín López and Pedri also make their contribution. This efficiency translates into 67 chances created in four matches according to the Cadena SERwhile the midfielder also benefits from Rodri who is already very clean in his use of the ball, with 81 successful passes out of 83 against Valencia. Enough to prove Flick right in his offensive choices and establish Barça among the most formidable teams at the start of the season.
