Glad to see Barcelona has bounced back from their loss at UCL. They beat Villareal by a great margin. Their high-line defence worked as intended in this game. It looks scary to see them use high-line defense. But, it helped them trap their opponents in an offside position.

It seems to me Hansiball always prioritizes their attack over defense. It can be seen from how they took the big risk playing highline defence. But this is not gonna work against a club who fully understand how to leave from the trap. And there's room for improvement in their defence.

Their great win against Villareal cost them Ter Stegen. He will likely be out till the end of the season due to his injury.
Barcelona's performance had no effect at all after suffering defeat in the UEFA Champions League to Monaco after being able to achieve a fairly landslide victory over Villareal in La Liga. Robert Lewandowski could almost have scored a hat trick if his penalty kick had not hit the crossbar and his performance was very impressive after being able to score a brace against Villareal.

Barcelona have paid most expensive for their victory over Villareal because their main goal keeper Marc-André ter Stegen have out on the second half match and potential will absent until the end of this season. Its very bad news for Barcelona because they have many important matches in La Liga and improving performance in Champion League if won't loss opportunity get qualifying to knock out round.



Unbelievable with Barcelona performance since managed by Hansi Flick, in La Liga have won 6 of 6 matches and most fantastic have scored 22 goals drastically difference with Real Madrid scored 13 goas of 6 matches although have conceded 5 goals. Most amazing start for Barcelona in this season not only success keep the winning trend but also always scoring above 3 to 4 goals on every matches.

Barcelona are actually on fire in early of this season. Their performances so far are unbelievable good and with a come back of Lewandowski and rapid mature of Yamal as well as Dani Olmo who joined them in this summer, Barcelona have many good players to compete for La Liga title. In coming months, they will work hard with medical team to make sure that injury cases in the club won't be high. Because injuries will be harmful for their squad availability and strength, if they can reduce injury cases, they will have very high chance to win La Liga.

There are two classic competitors with Barcelona in this season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and these competitors are playing well too.
Barca's form this season is something else,they have been consistent this season judging from their results so far,and the reason they stand first on the table is solely because they don't want to drop any point at the moment,and looking at Real Madrid coming from behind them,it makes them want to always try to remain consistent in their effort.
Champions league comes again next week,and I am very sure they would want to get three points from it since they lost their first leg to Monaco,so three points for any staker on that one.
you know, this Barcelona team has a combination of experienced players and rising stars in the team that are madly dedicated and are at thier peak currently. 6 games played so far with zero defeat or draw is a perfect start for the season and with the kind of scorline we've seen with a classic 17 goal difference this far, it's not an argument that they are on a journey to retrieve the title from real Madrid. For real Madrid to get at them, it will series of games and it's obvious the Barca team isn't ready to slow down a bit. I had expected Villarreal to put up a good fight but they were far behind in performance and goal scoring ability. The two games that's left for the week for them to play against getafe and osasuna are simple work over thqt you can predict that goals will pour like water in those games and they will still remain top on the table with a much higher goal difference and point above Thier real Madrid opposition.


Barcelona has been performing extremely well this season. With the return of Lewandowski and the impressive development of Yamal and Dani Olmo, they have shown immense talent and potential to be top contenders for the La Liga title. Their focus on reducing injury cases is commendable, as that would indeed contribute to greater squad availability and strength.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid definitely pose a strong competition, but Barcelona's consistency and determination make them a tough competitor. The upcoming Champions League game will be a vital opportunity for them to gain points, particularly since their first leg against Monaco didn't go as planned.

Indeed, Barcelona's team, with its blend of seasoned players and emerging stars, is exceptionally dedicated and currently at their peak. Having played six games so far without a defeat or a draw marks an excellent start to the season. Given the notable goal difference we've seen so far, it?s clear that they're on a path to reclaim the title

Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

Just begun this season and there is still a long way to go. The way Barcelona have started it is very clear that they are trying their hardest to achieve their goals. The performance of the team is quite good and who is able to maintain their win in 6 consecutive matches will be able to perform in the same way in the remaining matches. But since it is a highly competitive field it is not unusual for there to be changes at any time.
We can’t say, but anything can happen. I know Barcelona start with a very good performance with the hope for them to make it to the trophy, but we all know that some of the teams mostly get weak in the middle of the season. I don’t pray for Barcelona to be in such situations, but it can happen, so let's see how the season will be for Barcelona. But for now, their performance is very amazing, and it will definitely encourage them to put in more effort. But the bitter truth is that they will find it hard to overcome Real Madrid this season.

How do we rate this Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid this season? For ones they can't play straight 5 games without showing how they love playing draw especially ATM. I love how they (ATM) have been performing but they still need to always be consistent because if they eventually play against Barcelona I don't think they can be able to withstand the force Barcelona are going to come with, even Madrid can't easily stop Barcelona as of now because Barcelona style of play is quite different from what we witness last season, they have been on top of their game without giving their opponent a breathing space to regroup. So with ATM and Madrid trying their best to top the table I think they have to go through Barcelona, as it is I'm not sure if either of them can beat Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid is not good enough this season. They lost some points from the matches against Espanyol and Rayo. Their performance is inconsistent. Some players need more time to adapt. They can't compete for the title if they keep dropping more pts.

They're not truly ready for this season; they're still missing a ball-playing CB and DM. But the season is long. They can still improve and challenge for the title against their competitor.

All in all, it's the same dynamic from them as last season. Not a lot of improvements happened with them.

On other hand, Madrid is slowly improving, and as long as they always play with good midfielder, and they're fine.

ATM are always known for playing the way they are doing now, every season they can't get things to be in order and it seems like the defensive way of play is the only way Diego Pablo Simeone likes using which is not productive in any way, at least last season they tried coming out to play a little bit of good and entertaining football. Losing points will only give them the chance of maybe finishing in the top 4 or below the top 4. In as much as the team is not improving in any way or being consistent the management are also not bothered in questioning the manager or telling him to make a positive stand for the team, if they go on like this they're going to end the campaign without trophy and they don't even look like a competitive team.
Real Madrid are like a snake and I don't trust how slow they make us believe they are taking every game, is like a trap to other teams. They are waiting for the right moment to strike and anything that will make Barcelona drop point you'd see the speed and impact of Madrid to top the table but for now let's watch how they handles the rest of the game.

My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?
No, we shouldn't. European competitions is still begin, maybe Barcelona is not so prepared to that competition, while in la liga they are very already and maybe their concentration is a bit divided to that both league. I think, what they should do now is how to manage their team to be solid not to how to get the winning. When meet Monaco, I watch their team is not soo compact, there are some shortcomings on each line which make they lost their confident. It's different when they play on la liga, they are very focused to how to get the winning even play away from home. Maybe they must implement it to European competitions, so that balance for their peformance.
Barcelona is very good at starting their start in La Liga until the sixth week they are still very consistent. Different from the results obtained in the Champions League yesterday and in my opinion it was a different match moreover Flick's troops also could not develop the game after his players were given red cards. So this season Barcelona will be a serious concern for everyone because previously they were very doubtful of being able to perform better because they were still facing financial problems. But Flick is really a great coach, he is able to manage the team very well. I hope Lewandowski and his friends are able to maintain their consistency both in La Liga and in the Champions League.

Yes,In UCL Barcelona suffered defeat against Monaco. However, in my personal opinion, Barcelona cannot be said to not have strong competitiveness in international competitions, because there were many reasons underlying Barcelona's defeat in the match against Monaco. Like Barcelona who lost the number of players to Monaco because Barcelona only played with 10 people, because one of the Barcelona players got a red card at the start of the first half. Apart from that, several important Barcelona players such as Dani Olmo also suffered injuries and were unable to take part in the match. So because of that, I think it's natural that Barcelona lost that match.

Then talking about Barcelona's match against Villarreal, in my opinion it could be said to be an extraordinary thing. Because being able to win with a score of 5-1 is a very epic record in my opinion. So there is no doubt that Barcelona will most likely be a very strong team in Laliga. And regarding Barcelona's fate in the UCL, I think in the next match Barcelona will pay for yesterday's defeat with a win. The reason is that in the next match Barcelona will face a team that is not too strong in the UCL. So with this I am very optimistic that Barcelona can definitely win this match.

I like the fact that Barcelona has taken the league seriously this season. I have seen the spirit and improvement within the players. They are still my favorite club in the Spanish league. I want them t fight for the title and their focus should be more on winning the La Liga instead of the Champions League. My reason is that we have seen how competitive UCL is having a tough time in the UCL. If they fail to win other games, then they will not be able to qualify. Watching their game today i was impressed and i expect more from them in their upcoming games.
Every team will take every competition they participate in seriously, especially with Barcelona who really need various trophies to slowly get out of the financial crisis. The consistency that Barcelona has managed to create at this time has formed a positive trend, which indicates that the players in the squad are highly motivated to continue to develop. Hansi Flick managed to get through a quick adaptation period, and it is clear that Barcelona is now ready to become a title contender.
The slaughter mode was activated again after experiencing defeat in their last match at Monaco's headquarters in the opening match of the UCL, Villarreal who were undefeated in the previous 5 games had to admit Barcelona greatness. Interestingly, Flick played many players from the La Masia academy in this match, both starters and as substitutes, there were 10 La Masia players who were given the opportunity to play by the coach. I saw Barcelona doing something that was very rare in the Xavi era, the players kept attacking no matter how many goals had been scored. This strategy had a big impact on the opponent's mentality. Initially, Villarreal players played very disciplined and were very determined to attack, but their spirit immediately collapsed after seeing goal after goal coming into their goal.

On the other hand, Barcelona's failure in the UCL was purely the goalkeeper's fault which made Barca have to play with 10 men in the first half, and now they are paying for that mistake with a landslide score of 4-1 over Villarreal which is currently taking place in the La Liga competition. Lewandowski really became a goal machine in this match.
This was a difficult match for Villarreal, of course it was very difficult to stem Barcelona's excellent performance in building attacks. Villarreal scored several goals throughout the match, but they were unlucky because Barcelona's offside trap managed to thwart them. Barcelona won this match with a final score of 1-5, it's really hard to believe that Barcelona has been so productive this season.

Barcelona have won 6 of 6 La Liga matches so far, they are the most productive team with 22 goals recorded in 6 matches. I didn't believe this, but it's the reality I have to admit now. Lamine Yamal has really troubled his opponent's defense this season, even in this match he was still able to record assists for his teammates. The performance of this young Barcelona star has really improved, he is good and has great potential to become a big star in La Liga in a few seasons.
Barcelona are really ready for this season, and from all indications they will do better, but we don’t know how the midseason will be for them yet because they still have a lot of games to play ahead. But still knowing well that they were able to achieve a total of 22 goals in just 6 games is one of the facts that will dispute that they are not for joke in this season, and it clearly shows that they will try their possible bet to see if they can achieve the trophy even though they know it will be somehow hard for them to do that because Real Madrid is still in the game, and we’ll all know that Real Madrid will not allow that to happen.
 
Talking about Lamine Yamal, he is really doing a good job at that point, and if he puts in more effort, then you will definitely be well recognised in this season, and that will make him a star in La Liga.
Just begun this season and there is still a long way to go. The way Barcelona have started it is very clear that they are trying their hardest to achieve their goals. The performance of the team is quite good and who is able to maintain their win in 6 consecutive matches will be able to perform in the same way in the remaining matches. But since it is a highly competitive field it is not unusual for there to be changes at any time. Lamine Yamal is trying to present himself. He made himself known from the Euro Cup and after that joined club football and presented that identity to the world. Barcelona will surely go far with him. It is believed that Lamine Yama will be able to perform better in the future.

Some matches went according to my expectations, Real Madrid won over Espanyol with a fairly large score of 4-1, Atletico Bilbao won over Celta de Vigo with a score of 3-1 and Barcelona also won big over Villareal with a big score of 5-1. It was a really interesting match this week to see the top clubs doing their job well by winning and they are also close to each other in the top standings but Atletico Madrid had to lose 2 points when visiting Rayo's headquarters and finally their position was shifted below Bilbao.
Barcelona has really performed impressively in La Liga this season, I didn't even expect them to score that many goals against Villareal even though this club has also performed well lately but Barcelona was able to beat them even though they played at Villareal's headquarters.

That's really a bad news seriously! even though he made a mistake in champions league it doesn't mean he isn't a good GK, he  has always been and will continue  to be (to me), he has alot of saves for Barca and even some key saves that saved Barcelona at some crucial moment .
If he's really gonna be out for the rest of the season, then Barcelona needs to work a little bit harder on the defence side even though they are winning currently, it's not gonna be easy without Stegen  but I hope the replacement  performs excellent to the level  of stegen. Besides, I look forward to their next UCL game and no doubt they currently crushing laliga  Smiley
It will be very detrimental when Stegen has to undergo serious treatment so that it takes a long time for him to recover.
Losing him in the team will make a difference because he is the best goalkeeper in Barcelona and even in the Xavi Hernandez era he helped Barcelona a lot and the saves he made were also quite good.
Inaki Pena is not so experienced so he will have little impact on Barcelona when facing crucial matches especially for the Champions League although against Mallorca he played well after Stegen was substituted.

Ter Stegen has been making good saves, he has saved the team from many situations, I hope the other goalkeeper can also do a good job, because from the news, Ter Stegen will be out of the field for a long time. Knowing Barcelona's bad finances, they won't be able to sign another goalkeeper in the next transfer window, in my opinion. So it's a situation where we'll see how the coach and the board will deal with it.

Every match that has been played so far must have made mistakes and will not be able to perform 100% properly, therefore their failure in the Champions League should not make Stegen a scapegoat there he has tried his best so that Barcelona does not concede but in fact it is difficult because Barcelona lost one player and had to play with 10 players this defeat should not be considered as Stegen's result because this player has served there for a long time as a player give him respect.

And now he has a serious injury and he will be absent this makes Barcelona frustrated like losing their captain on the field and they Barcelona must immediately take action whether it is buying a new GK to go through half a season without Stegen, and I think Flick will get a new goalkeeper to enter his squad to replace Stegen but talking about purchases it seems Barcelona will choose a loan goalkeeper for a while and hopefully Stegen will return quickly and play well after this.

Hansi Flick priorities are La Liga and the Champions League, although there is a tendency towards one of them, it depends on the situation they face. The development shown by Barcelona certainly makes the competition for trophies this season more competitive, and I think they can also talk a lot in the Champions League if they find an easier path, like Dortmund last season.

My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

Barcelona currently are in a form which they have never been before for like over 5 seasons and this is all thanks to the good management by Hansi Flick. Many supporters actually doubted his ability to get the team back to where they belong or where they are now and he is currently proving them wrong and also teaching people that experience in terms of management can be a huge difference. Six wins in six games today had Barcelona on the verge of thinking they can win everything.

Although the team has been formidable in the league which i think if they don’t win they will provide better competition than they actually did last season. In the league they only have just Madrid to do battle with for the league and they don’t seems to be perfect just yet but you don’t rule out Madrid out in any competition till it ends or they get knocked out. So i personally believe that Barcelona will go all the way in the legaue but the champions league will be a little bit different because of the stiff competition there and the youthful players in this Barcelona team haven’t played or gotten the league heat first, so will personally reserve my predictions about them till the knockout stages and see how they perform in this group games first
