Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-1. Barcelona, who struggled to beat Osasuna away from home, played worse than I expected. Although they took the lead with a goal late in the first half, it was Osasuna who had more scoring chances in the second half. In the 76th minute, Osasuna equalized with a goal. Catena was red carded for Osasuna and Barcelona scored from a penalty, which was the decisive event in the match.


It was never imagined that the Osasuna team would give the audience such a competitive game with the Barcelona team. The Barcelona team led the game until the first half, but the Osasuna team equalized the game in the second half. Barcelona scored a chance when an Osasuna player, Catena, was sent off after receiving a red card. But even then such a win is never expected from Barcelona team as they are a team with reputation. Barcelona's Raphinha had many chances but could not make any use of them. On behalf of the Barcelona team, I think we could not entertain the audience with the game and Barcelona's performance in this game was very poor.

Despite this, Lewandowski did not appear to be the best rated player of the game but he was the worst rated player based on the aiscore. Kounde and De Jong were the two players who had the highest ratings in that match, but I agree that overall Barcelona didn't perform as good as expected in that match.
Lewandowksi isn't good like his was, I think his performance is declining in this season. If Joao Felix can show a good performance, I believe Barcelona will sign him to replace Lewandowski's position.

Joao Felix is ​​not to replace Lewandowski, but Felix is ​​expected to be able to make an impact on the left wing even though his main position is second striker. Joao Felix still needs to adapt to Barcelona's game scheme this season even though he is already quite experienced in La Liga. While Lewandowski has basically tried his best to contribute to the game, he admits that the strategy Xavi has implemented in recent matches has made it difficult for him to perform like last season.

In the last few matches, Xavi has given full trust to Lamine Yamal, making it a little difficult for Lewandowski to get the ball. Lamine Yamal can perform well, but sometimes he is not good at serving the main striker even though he can send accurate passes to other players. Lewandowski complains about this, but I believe he must keep trying as much as possible and still have to maintain his performance even if Xavi slightly changes his game strategy.


Osasuna is really good in counter attack, they can maximize their chance to score a goal. While Barcelona only keep passing in order to make them looks more dominant and giving pressure to Osasuna.

That's normal for any team, especially when they play against dominant teams like Barcelona or Real Madrid. Their strategy has not changed, meaning they just try to defend as best as possible and counterattack and take advantage of opportunities. In some games this strategy works, but other times they fail.

For me it doesn't matter if Lewandowski doesn't perform well consistently because after all, Lewandowski is no longer young at this moment. Therefore, with his old age, it will certainly be difficult for Lewandowski to keep playing well and consistently in every match. Because anyway, the end result for Barcelona in this match also in fact Barcelona still got 3 points and of course, with the three points that Barcelona got it in this match was still a good final result too. At least, I don't blame Lewandowski too much at 35 years old now.

The goal scored by Jude Bellingham against Getafe last week means that his name is now level with Cristiano Ronaldo as the scorer of 5 goals in 4 matches for Real Madrid. This seemingly impossible feat has now been achieved by this young Englishman and everyone is still amazed by his performances every week for Real Madrid this season. What he has done so far has exceeded everyone's expectations and he will definitely never stop contributing. I'm still curious what other records he will break as a Real Madrid player in the near future and Jude Bellingham is probably the single best signing for this summer.

we all know Barcelona and xavi are often known for their tiki-taka style which focuses on ball possession and high pressing,
However, in yesterday's match, Barca were barely able to win the match, Osasuna, who only mastered counterattacks and tended to defend, made Barca unable to do much. Luckily, Barca got a penalty in the final minutes.
Lewandowski is a highly respected player in world football, and the criticism against him may be related to the high expectations placed on him. However, I am sure Lewandowski will come back and show his greatness. and for Joao Felix on the contrary, he is a young talent with great potential, a player that Barca really needs. Barcelona is a big club that is always looking for quality players to strengthen its squad.

Yesterday's matches in Spain were frankly boring. Girona was the home favorite and won against Las palmas. With this win they moved into 2nd place.

I'm yet to see the best of Lewandowski in Barcelona, he's not played up to the standard he did at Bayern Munich that made Barcelona bring him into their Squad, this is a player that was known for scoring numerous goals in a single season, getting hat-tricks in several matches but at Barcelona he's not scored like that even with enough chances created for him.
 He has a lot of good quality players built around him so I expect alot from a player of such calibre to deliver his team against lesser clubs, well thanks to his penalty goal that made them win Osasuna and I believe the goal he scored would increase his morale to perform better in their next match and start scoring more goals as expected by him, if Lewandowski fails to improve before the winter window it would leave Xavi with no option but to seek another alternative in that position.
This season hasn't favoured Lewandoski because he hasn't score much goals in this season. Out of four matches he has only scored one,and a penalty that he played yesterday to make it two,compared to his performance last season. He did very great in Bayern and I think that he hasn't really understood Barca playing pattern or their bond is not yet strong. It is normal that some players don't perform too well when they change leagues. I am still hoping to see the best of him and I will also love to see more goals from him during his stay in Barca.


Actually, compared to what Lewandoski has done for Bayern Munich, he has yet to do even half of it because I’m still thinking that if he can score goals for them the way he did for Bayern Munich, if Lewandoski played ball for Barcelona the same way he did for Bayern Munich, the four matches in which he has participated could have been great for him.We all know how the player was very dedicated to scoring goals for his previous club. But I’m still wondering if that is the case because, as you know, sometimes when a player gets to a new club like this, he usually faces some challenges before he gets used to the player and knows the pattern of the players he meets there, so let's wait and hope to see him succeed in Barcelona. Because if Lewandowski is unable to perform well again in Barcelona, there will be problems in the team. Unless they have someone who will suit the position and who can do more than what Lewandoski will do,

I agree with you that Lewandowski was actually not that interesting in yesterday's match even though he gave him chance to win, but without yesterday penalty Lewandowski would not have been able to score a goal even though he tried and I call it luck for Lewandowski.
After Xavi return I think it will have a big influence on Barca performance but it seems true what you say that Xavi needs a lot of time to get inspired on the best strategy for the club he coach because Barca is currently only performing with players with currently no player which can be relied on even though Lewandowski can be used as a mainstay player but for me the results are not optimal.
I know this is a tough task for Barca and Xavi as a coach has to be responsible for making the club stronger every season and this season has been like very tough season for Xavi.

In the Spanish League today Osasuna vs Barcelona between the two teams, Barcelona team won the match by scoring 2 goals. Barcelona team did not perform well in the first half of the game. However, J. Koundé scored the first goal in the 45+1 minute. Then after halftime, Osasuna team  Player E. Ávila scored a goal in 76 minutes.A.  Catena got 1 red cards in 84 minutes. Lewandowski scored the number 2 goal in 85 minutes to win the match. But in this match I expected Barcelona team to perform better but Barcelona didn't.
Barcelona had to fight hard to win the match over Osasuna, Barcelona winning goal was only created in the 85th minute through the penalty spot which was executed by Lewandowski. Even though Barcelona ended the match with a score of 1-2, it must be admitted that Osasuna game was better. They played very aggressively and agilely, their attacks were also sharper than Barcelona, Ter Stegen seemed to be bothered several times by crossing Osasuna players.

Barcelona tried to secure victory by playing relaxed with the aim of preventing Osasuna players from controlling too much of the ball, the additional time that is a bit too long makes the game tension even higher. However luck is still on Barcelona side in this match, after this match there is a lot that Xavi needs to improve in the Barcelona squad, especially in the defensive area. He must improve Barcelona game again in the next match so that it is easier to secure victory when facing opponents who are at a lower level than Barcelona.

This is not the first time Barcelona has had difficulty beating Osasuna. Remember, last season Barcelona also had difficulty beating Osasuna who played at the same stadium even though in the end Barcelona won both away matches with a score of 1-2. Lewandowski managed to make up for his mistake last season which saw him fail to finish the match because he received a second yellow card. Yesterday he scored the winning goal while at the same time making one of Osasuna's defenders get a red card.

Despite this, Lewandowski did not appear to be the best rated player of the game but he was the worst rated player based on the aiscore.

Barselona almost drew the match but the penalty shootout was a huge opportunity for them as the match was 1-1 until the 84th minute. Barcelona won today's match and got total 10 points and on the other hand Girona is in 2nd position with 10 points and Real Madrid is in 1st position with 12 points.  Barcelona will be in position to overtake Girona if they win their next match.  And then Real Madrid will be their only rival
Barcelona still hasn't shown a convincing performance, the victory this time was quite helped because of the penalty prize, and fortunately, Lewandowski managed to execute the penalty well, the previous match they also almost lost to Villareal because they were behind by the home team, and it looks like they are having quite a problem in the away game because from 3 away matches they have had difficulties if Xavi Hernandez hard to finds their weak points and fixes them immediately then Real Madrid will be very comfortable staying at the top.


Yep, Barcelona still hasn't shown a slick performance in every game. but this victory was indeed deserved by them. If Lewandowski had not been tackled in the penalty area, the probability of a goal being scored was very high. However, due to a violation, Barcelona were ultimately awarded a penalty kick. and Lewandowski as executor, did not waste this opportunity. you could say, Barcelona was lucky in this match.

Meanwhile, we cannot rule out Ossasuna. Even though Barcelona dominated the match, the home team was able to put up quite an exciting fight. also, they had 3 shots on target out of 11 attempted shots. 1 big chance, 7 shots from inside the box. the most important thing is that Barcelona still won full points, so that they stay close to the point distance from Real Madrid.
Now, Joao Cancelo's presence will have a big impact on the Barcelona squad. I have confidence that Cancelo will be included in the starting eleven for the Barcelona squad. Likewise with Felix, for the time being he will start playing on the bench. but if he displays a good performance, Xavi will give him the opportunity to play on the wing. theoretically, Barcelona should be more competitive. because, now Barcelona has complete players on all fronts. The problem now lies with Xavi, how he will implement his system so that his team plays with high performance.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are two of the strongest teams in Laliga and every year both teams have a high chance of winning the title. Last year champions Real Madrid and Barcelona were runners-up and the previous year champions were Atletico Madrid and runners-up Real Madrid.  Every year one of these two teams becomes the champion or runners-up. And some years both teams take these two awards. From 1928 to 2022, very few times have either team missed out on 1st or 2nd prize. Xavi is a gem for Barcelona. Because that's why Barcelona has come to such a state

Having excelled beforehand did not make Barcelona safe and the hosts were finally able to equalize. Barcelona almost got a draw if they didn't get a penalty at the end of the match which made the score 1-2 in favor of Barcelona. Xavi's troops had quite a difficult time playing in the away match against Osasuna and they repeatedly had opportunities but failed to convert them into goals. But this victory must be paid for by an injury received by Gavi who will likely be absent in the next match. I think Xavi has to provide intense training to his players because they will have quite a long time with the international break.

Barcelona actually played well in this match, still they were very lucky. If it wasn't for Lucky, I'm sure it wouldn't have been possible for Barcelona to get 3 points in this match. Barcelona got the penalty opportunity in the 85th minute, and their overall performance was good, their match strategy was also good, and all players also tried their best to perform well. I can see Barcelona has 70% ball possession in this match. Although Barcelona performed well but I thought their attacking performance was a bit slow. I know Lewandowski scored a goal from the penalty spot, however his performance was not good enough. As Lewandowski is the most experienced player in the attack, the team's expectations are high from Lewa in every match.
It's true that even though statistically Barcelona are in control by as much as 70%, in fact they are quite profitable by getting the penalty. As for other things such as a late attack line, it is also one of the factors that makes Barcelona less sharp. The current Lewandowski is much different from before and I think he has decreased in form, could his current age be one of the reasons he is less productive as an experienced striker? What is clear is that Barcelona don't have to rely on Lewandowski and they must immediately find a way from the deadlock to be able to score more goals.

Barcelona again lucky in this match. They still experienced the same problems in their goal productivity even though previously they were quite good, but in this match they had actually the same problems because their finishing problem was really bad. Luckily the violation which led to the penalty put Barcelona ahead and got 3 points which put Barcelona back on track quite well. Now, even though Barcelona is still quite good in the last few matches, of course their problems are still the same now and Xavi still needs to improve his mentality in scoring goals.

As always, great possession of the ball (71%) with only 4 shots on target. I continue to believe that all this comes from the coach and Xavi is trying to implement a scheme that has not been working for a long time. They got lucky yesterday, but that won't always happen, plus when we say that Barcelona got lucky against Osasuna, things are bad.
Judging by the way Lewandowski started the season modestly (and how often Bellingham scores), he does not shine to become a top scorer this season.
There's nothing wrong with their possession as their tiki taka is very troublesome but on the other hand we seem to be on the same page in this regard as Barcelona still have a lot of problems especially in attack at the moment.
Indeed, their attacking line and the chances they create are still fairly good but the final finishing is still bad if we compare their current condition with the record of goals in each match.
Even looking at the match against Osauna yesterday we can see in terms of opportunities Osasuna was a little better.

Lewandowski still hasn't rediscovered the form of his first season on the other hand, it seems Xavi still wants to make some experiments by continuing to try to exploit Gavi on the winger and wants to give Lamine Yamal a chance but I think it would be better to try to put Gavi in an ideal position and give Ansu time.

Well, said barcelona has been getting difficult to beat osassuna. The team tries so hard to score another goal to make sure it would be securing the full points. Lewandowski has become the savior through its successful penalty against osassuna.
There was a moment when gavi was really aggressive pushing lewandowski. I saw that so many people were also putting their focus on the gavis performance. This guy cant always control his emotion. I did know he was still young, but he must try to control his emotion.

Glad barcelona has been winning even though it must be going through penalty to make it happen. The club was almost getting draw as you said above. Three points are really important for barcelona to keep its gap with real madrid.
Im quite happy with the result against osassuna even though it's not making me feel satisfy with it caused by the second goal was coming from penalty.
There are no easy wins for Barcelona this week, and neither is Real Madrid. Barcelona struggled to beat Osasuna, Real Madrid also struggled to beat Getafe. But the question; Why is Barcelona the one who tends to be noticed and said to be bad when Real Madrid also has great difficulty winning every match?


The current performance of Barcelona is definitely not very confident. I don't think at this point we can actually say that it is just the start of the season and that's why they are performing like that. Barcelona definitely has to perform better, they will have to show much more confidence in their performance. Barcelona was able to win against Osasuna but as I said the performance was not very confident.

Next match is against Real Betis, even though I am not sure Barcelona will be able to win, I am pretty hopeful about Barcelona in that match.


Real Madrid were lucky to be able to win game after game because Bellingham was really able to take advantage of goal opportunities, but that doesn't cover anything from the fact that they also have difficulty winning them. The same thing about Barcelona, ​​but both of these teams were able to maximize the match to get maximum points in the last 3 matches. The positive results that both La Liga teams got on Matchday 4 were really tough, but they deserved it.

Real Madrid is definitely performing better compared to Barcelona in my opinion, did not even lose or drop points at all. So even though Real Madrid does not have any easy matches going forward, I think Real Madrid will be able to stay consistent in their performance. I also believe that Real Madrid is not going to lose.

I often say this, that dominating a match is not enough because they need goals to ensure victory is on their side. and it can be said that Barcelona's victory was inseparable from their luck. They still need to be more creative in dismantling the opponent's defense, because they need it to create opportunities that they will later use to score goals. I prefer clubs that play effectively, I mean not too much holding the ball but when they hold the ball they can immediately create opportunities and lead to goals. I'm not going to say that possession isn't good, because it's also important,

Girona's late win meant they managed to secure full points at home against Las Palmas. I had thought this match would end in a draw without any goals because judging by the statistics the two teams were quite even. Even Las Palmas has slightly better ball possession than Girona. But the only goal that was scored came in the 88th minute and Cristian Portu saved Girona from a draw. Now Girona is increasingly confident in 2nd place in the standings and is only 2 points behind Real Madrid.
An important winning for Girona because they got three points and remain close to Real Madrid, at the start of this season Girona was quite surprising they can be able to sit in second place in the standings for a while. Cristian Portu who replaced Viktor Tsygankov in the second half made Girona win, it seems that in this season transfer window Girona was successful in bringing back their old players.

I'm yet to see the best of Lewandowski in Barcelona, he's not played up to the standard he did at Bayern Munich that made Barcelona bring him into their Squad, this is a player that was known for scoring numerous goals in a single season, getting hat-tricks in several matches but at Barcelona he's not scored like that even with enough chances created for him.
 He has a lot of good quality players built around him so I expect alot from a player of such calibre to deliver his team against lesser clubs, well thanks to his penalty goal that made them win Osasuna and I believe the goal he scored would increase his morale to perform better in their next match and start scoring more goals as expected by him, if Lewandowski fails to improve before the winter window it would leave Xavi with no option but to seek another alternative in that position.
Could it be that he was already starting to experience a drop in performance? because he's 35 years old, or maybe because he doesn't get enough ball support from the Barcelona midfielders like he did at Bayern Munich? because when he was at Bayern Munich he was a very productive striker.
However, I think this is only due to the decline in the performance of the whole team so that he looks unproductive, but Barcelona will depend on him to score goals.
In 4 matches Barcelona have actually never won very convincingly, they looked weak in defense so they conceded 3 goals to Villareal and Osasuna who managed to score 1 goal against them.
Joao Felix is already in the Barcelona squad, but will he be a productive second striker so that Barcelona can play well again and win convincingly? this is still a question.

Real Madrid did a good job signing Bellingham who saved them almost in all their games. Getafe was about to get a point from them and hopefully Bellingham was able to score in extra time. Real Madrid need someone to replace Bellingham in case of injury for real.
For Barcelona, they will play vs Osasuna and they are expected to win. Sevilla which are unstable right now will face Atlético Madrid and I doubt they could get points from them.

That is why Real Madrid needs to find a new player who can step in for him because he can't always be as strong as he is, even though he does his best to scored in every game. In the first half, Real Madrid's play was terrible; Garcia even made a pass that he shouldn't have been taking, which caused him to make a mistake and allowed Getafe to scored. The game became more tougher when they brought in Kroos to replace Camavinga.



A whole season awaits. Will Real Madrid make it through to the top at the end? Time will tell.

Time will definitely tell, but I have the feeling that Real Madrid will win the title this season. Despite that many players were injured, which some will soon be back, and even though it wasn't easy to defeat Getafe at this early stage of the season, Real Madrid will do everything in their power to be at the top. They can win the LaLiga this season also because they let Barcelona to won it last season. If you look at Barcelona most recent game against Osasuna, they came very close to drawing the game 1-1 thanks to the opportunity of the awarded penalty. Real Madrid players were injured, but they still performed well enough to defeat Getafe. Nothing much to worry about, even though is just the beginning of the season i believe they will make it it to the top.
