Since his arrival from Leipzig, Dani Olmo has given a lot of improvements in terms of Barcelona's game, although previously he had problems related to playing permits from the La Liga authorities but after the problem was solved and Dani Olmo was immediately able to adapt well in the Barcelona squad, but when Barcelona currently expects a lot from Dani Olmo he actually has to miss about 5 weeks due to the hamstring injury he got after the match againts girona,  Dani Olmo injury is of course a loss for Barcelona who will soon face Monaco in the Champions League, but even so at least Barcelona still has some players who may be able to replace Dani Olmo role later, so far Barcelona still has several players who can play in the position left by Dani Olmo, so that Hansi Flick may still be able to maintain the performance and stability of Barcelona game later when Dani Olmo is still absent.

Dani Olmo has joined the Barcelona squad this season. However, Olmo has already become one of the most important players in Barcelona's squad. Olmo played three matches in the Barcelona jersey. He performed very well in every match and scored three goals.

Olmo's injury will have an impact on Barcelona's overall performance. Hansi Flick is finding it difficult to stabilize Barcelona's overall performance now. Because three key midfielders like Gavi, De Jong and Olmo have suffered injuries. Barcelona will not have these three with the squad for today's match against Monaco. Barcelona must win at any cost against Monaco today.

Yes, it's a shame that Dani Olmo had to suffer an injury while performing very well at Barcelona. Even though I hope Barcelona can continue to use the combination of Olmo and Lamine Yamal on Barcelona's front line. However, with Olmo's current injury, he will certainly be absent from Barcelona for the next few matches and Barcelona will be missing one of its main players. According to reports circulating, Olmo suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be absent from the match for 4 weeks or more. So Olmo will definitely miss his first match with Barcelona in the UCL. Because later Barcelona is scheduled to compete against Monaco. Apart from that, if we calculate the time needed for Olmo to recover (4-5 weeks), it is very likely that Olmo will also miss the second UCL match against Young Boys.

This will definitely make Olmo a little devastated. But fortunately 4-5 weeks is not long. So basically Olmo was lucky not to suffer a fatal injury that required him to be absent for months. Apart from that, fortunately the teams that will be Barcelona's opponents in the next 4 weeks are not considered to be strong teams. Because these teams are Villareal, Getafe, Osasuna and Alaves. I'm sure Barcelona's can definitely beat 4 teams even without Olmo.

This will be an important lesson for him because being prone to injury will affect his career at Barcelona. Dani Olmo is an important player in the front line and his skills are needed by Barcelona so losing him in the next match will affect the team a little. Moreover, the focus on the Champions League will be much greater where they will face Monaco who in reality they play well and are difficult to beat.

Flick must try to instruct the players to get full points in the match because winning will be something important in the Champions League. I hope he finds a special strategy when Dani Olmo cannot play so that it does not affect the team so much.

So far there will be no problem even though Barcelona plays without Dani Olmo. I am optimistic that Blaugrana can win the match quickly. Monaco is not a dangerous club but at least Barcelona must remain vigilant. Dani Olmo is expected to recover soon, his role is very much needed when meeting Bayern Munich is the most historic meeting, there is a mission awaited by both Bayern and Barcelona. There is still time to prepare each other and Bayern Munich has given a frightening picture when conquering Dinamo Zagreb.

In this regard, now not everything depends only on Real, since Barcelona is now ahead of Real by 4 points, they have a good handicap that they just need to maintain as long as possible and hope that while Real is not in the best shape, they can make more mistakes and continue to lose points. Conditions can change, now we see that Barcelona has also lost Olmo, he will be absent for more than a month, this can affect their attack. But for now, everything remains the same, Barcelona is in the lead and it does not look like they are going to slow down.

At the moment no match is easy for Madrid because we've seen them play against smaller clubs but find it difficult to get goals early. Real Madrid will play hosts to Espanyol and even though the hosts have won their last ten home games, I feel they will struggle to get an 11th one seeing as espanyol just has two wins in five games, maybe they'd be looking to either get three points or settle for a draw.

I'm very thrilled to see Fati back in the squad. I just hope God is stop testing him with his injury. It's bad to see his career derailed by his injuries.


That's going to be a fierce battle. Monaco is a team that is full of talent. They have nothing to lose and it’s going to be a hard game for them to beat Barcelona.

But in this case, we can't say with certainty that Barcelona can reach the era of glory again just because they were very good in the few matches run with Flick.

Barcelona have only played 5 weeks in La Liga, and will be in the first match today in the Champions League. This means that we are still too far away to be confident that Flick can do everything perfectly and match their golden era.

Although it cannot be denied that Flick's current performance is very good, especially 5 matches with 5 wins with a goal ratio of more than 3 per match that we cannot deny but that does not mean this season they will get the trophy easily because in the end the La Liga and Champions League seasons are not that easy and Flick must maintain the current conditions if he really wants to be believed that he is capable of making Barcelona's golden era return.

Real Madrid have always prioritized the Champions League tournament and they still do so, so they have never underestimated the La Liga tournament. They have the ability to plan with two leagues simultaneously so they won't take either one lightly. With the team that Real Madrid has, they can easily plan and succeed in La Liga, just as they can succeed in the Champions League with the right plan. There are good quality players in this team as well as good quality managers in this team and every player in this team has a good relationship with every player so if there is no good performance from this club then no good performance will come from any other club. And I am definitely confident about Real Madrid and they will definitely be ahead of all the other teams in terms of winning the title in La Liga next season.

Real Madrid have won 3 consecutive matches with 2 of them being La Liga matches and one in the opening match of UCL, next Real Madrid will play against Espanyol in the upcoming La Liga match and this is an easy match for Real Madrid to keep winning.
They will play at home and Espanyol chances of winning or holding Real Madrid to draw are very small, Real Madrid can get big win in this match and of course we can see Real Madrid game will be even better considering that some players have been able to adapt and start getting used to Mbappe.
Odds that Real Madrid has are @1.17 and Espanyol has @16.00.

What Barcelona did was the same as what Real Madrid did, this club also did not recruit many players in the summer transfer market, it's just that Real Madrid had one of the star players who initially thought they would shake up La Liga with their appearance, instead Barcelona showed everyone that without recruiting expensive star players, the club is also able to compete well if the coach is able to play his tactics correctly and in my opinion Barcelona was not wrong to appoint Hansi Flick to replace Xavi because the management really gave full trust to the coach and gave the coach the opportunity to recruit players who were really needed by the team like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

Now they need the right management to manage resources this season. Indeed, there were several new faces from the academy who were brought in before This team, even though their biggest rival in the domestic league is very strong, is Real Madrid, which has won the UCL several times, but this year Barca will be able to win the Spanish League and UCL.

The form Barcelona has found themselves in right now, is more than impressive, and only thing that can stop them from being so good right is injuries. Their current playing style is very fast paced, high pressing, high intensity football. So it is expected that they will face injuries, but bigger injuries are always scary. Losing out Olmo is really really bad for them, as he was a key piece in the equation for them, and it really could take around 2 months for him to get back on proper fitness and sharpness.

Dani Olmo out, Ansu Fati in 

You know, tomorrow the Catalan Giants will play Monaco in their first UCL game of the season, who are also in great form. So I think it should be interesting as how Hansi Flick fares because they would need to make some adjustments to show up in this match.

Absence of Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Fermin Lopez, Gavi, and Frenkie De Jong the midfield area seems so rusty. The only good thing is after one year finally Ansu Fati in. If Blaugrana can hit the ground running with a win in the first UCL game, I think a really amazing season awaits us, coming from Hansi Flick. Flick is really doing wonders while using so many youngsters, many many credits to the guy. The rivalry against Madrid will be really exciting in the league, too.

Flick has managed to show his performance very well so far that he can make Barcelona better than before. Their performance has improved overall until my friend who is a Barcelona fan thinks that this team will return to its glory days again this season, so I think all fans of this team also experience the same feeling where they are happy with Barcelona's performance which is improving again.
With this improved performance, I think they are ready to compete with big teams in La Liga such as Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid and other teams, besides that they also seem ready to compete in the Champions League whose first match will face the strong team Monaco as Flick himself said.

Barcelona has certainly found the right coach with his performance that can be said to be quite stunning when coaching Munich of course makes people or clubs interested in his services, under his guidance Barcelona currently seems to have rediscovered its identity after so long they were buried in the deepest abyss now the arrival of the coach from Germany has boosted Barcelona's status back as a feared club.

And I am quite confident with Flick himself can make Barcelona in a better direction compared to Xavi in ​​fact in several matches played Barcelona is quite stunning and makes us amazed from the scheme and strategy implemented by Flick of course makes us excited to watch this team, and in my opinion Barcelona has found the right and experienced soul at this time.

Yup that's  true ! It's just proper management , the resources is there though there were some new faces from academy and some were brought right before Xavi left , they just need someone ( a right person actually  and not just any one) to manage the resources and I think they Found Handi Glick    Hansi Flick [had to edit that, my keyboard has been playing tricks on me lately  ]has proven to be worthy. This is just the beginning actually with more effort from the coach, I think more achievement could come from the club even at this very season as they're proving it already

Well, everything seems to be ok now for Barcelona since they have been setting a good rhythm though there are aspects that need to be worked on. This they are demonstrating a good progress from one game to another and if this is so, then this may well be a good base for them to keep on challenging at the top. Well, Villarreal may be somewhat of a test, but the kind of performance that Barcelona is offering at the moment is encouraging. At the same time, it is also impossible to stand idly by while transformation takes place in the middle of the rankings. Some teams that generally remain consistent appear to be facing difficulties, possibly because their team is weak or they lack bench strength. It could create space for the other teams to improve and get closer to this position and thus make the competition even stiffer.

Not denying this, even from 6 matches, Real Sociedad could only win 1x, draw 1, and lose 4 times. This is a very bad start for the club. even now they are in 16th position. Almost in relegation zone. let's see what Imanol Alguacil will be doing to make it better, or what will Real Sociedad do with the coach in next matches decisions.

So far Barcelona is literally proving that you don't have to sign too many players for your team to be effective enough in the new season, they actually did signed only a player or two and yet they have had very fantastic results so far in their domestic league, infact they have managed to stay unbeaten so far with many goals, I believe they have the most gos in the la Liga already and I hope they maintain the records because they have still got a long way to go in the la Liga. If Flick is able to and some consistency to their game splay and results, then Madrid should be ready to battle with an almost equal contender this season for the domestic league title because Barcelona is obviously waxing stronger than they had been earlier.
