I don't really understand why this match is so good for Barcelona.
Indeed they won with a score of 2-1 in this match but seeing the course of the match that occurred I did not feel that this was very good for Barcelona, it looks like they are still quite bad, especially in finishing problems.
Many chances were wasted, they also failed to anticipate the counterattack which if we look at the goal from Osasuna could not have happened especially with the tightness of the Barcelona players in the penalty box but they only tried to keep the defense not marking players because they waited more which made the return goal from Osasuna created with a hard kick from Avila.
As for Lewandowski's penalty goal, I think it was good luck because if they didn't get a penalty they could have won a draw in this match.
Regardless of the final result of the match, we can see that Barcelona's performance in this match was not that good and it was still the same as the previous match, the team's play was not well organized on all fronts.
Barcelona should be able to win easily over Osasuna, because the quality of the Barcelona team is better but in the match it's not the case, so I think it's only natural that many criticize Barcelona's performance, already in 2 consecutive matches Barcelona won with difficulty even there was a bit of luck factor there .
If the team's performance continues like this, I doubt they will be able to defend the title and compete fiercely in the UCL.
these two big teams have always been the biggest in La Liga and have always dominated this league from several seasons ago and for Atletico Madrid they will always be a challenger to Barcelona and Real Madrid who have tried to continue to be like these 2 big teams and I admit that like Barcelona, even though this team does not have star players, it can always get a top 3 ranking and this year Barcelona situation, which is worse than last season, is trying to continue to improve the quality of its performance with the existing players. different from Real Madrid, who currently still have reliable players from recruiting new Bellingham players who have made a difference for Real Madrid.
and I see Girona in the standings being the new challenger this season but not sure whether to stay until the end of the season to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid because for sure Atletico Madrid will continue to improve their form.
I'm not sure that Girona will be consistent, their performance at the start of this season has been quite impressive but they haven't met tough opponents yet, I think being able to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the standings is very difficult for them.
La Liga is really dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid, but sometimes Atletico Madrid can be a very tough bully, this season I think there is a big opportunity for Atletico Madrid to be able to take advantage of the negligence of the 2 giant La Liga teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid so far. haven't found their best form yet and both teams have their own problems while Atletico Madrid started the season quite well and this team is already very strong this season compared to last season.
