Do you know if Barca started this season with an unsatisfied result, they only get a draw in the first match playing with a weak club like Rayo Vallecano?
With this reality, can we believe that Barca will compete with Real Madrid for the title?
Personally, I doubt if Barca is strong enough with the current squad. Although they have Lewandowski, Aubameyang, and Raphinha, they don't look like a solid team. Without good cooperation among them, it is difficult to play effectively and give Real Madrid a tight competition.
Before Xavi took over as coach of the team last season, Barcelona were probably outside the 10th in the points table. After that, their performance gradually stabilized and they secured the second place in the points table. Barcelona is more stronger this season. And the team has plenty of talented star players. Despite an unfortunate draw in the first match, Barcelona will fight for the title.
