Leading the standings for longer is what I don't believe in Barcelona this season. Even though they have won 5 out of 5 matches so far, I don't fully trust Barcelona to continue their good performance. Everything is very volatile, after all it is the other 33 games until the end of the season that could be an opportunity for other teams to change their position in the standings.
This is still very much possible especially with Madrid's current condition which is still moving below them with a gap of 4 points, it is clear that Barcelona will be at the top for a long time because however to stop Barcelona in the current conditions is clearly a little difficult to do.

Their confidence is still very high, besides that Flick is also still very good at concocting the squad to date which makes the productivity and stability of their game still very well maintained so that to be at the top of the standings in a little longer time is definitely this will happen.

Barcelona are now beyond my expectations, I didn't think they'd be able to be consistent with a string of big wins but Flick has really shown his capacity in coaching where he's even been able to play well in the midst of poor financial conditions at the start of the season.

So far, Barcelona has started well, but we can't tell whether they will stick with their newly discovered good performance under Hansi Flick to be consistent in winning their Laliga matches to the end of the season.

Barcelona is even more confident than Real Madrid now and they look more balanced and their performance is so impressive and Flick is becoming one of the best options for Barcelona and their consistent suppose to be a thing of concern for Real Madrid because even with Real Madrid having mbappe is alway missing good chances and it is drawing the club back. And Barcelona is already giving gaps and I don't like it because Madrid are my favorite because their last game was all plenty which ended two goals.

Quote
Hansi Flick got many of us surprised with Barcelona's extraordinary performance. Who could have thought Barcelona would counter all odds about their financial difficulties to give a fantastic performance at the beginning of the season, to have up to 5 wins against big and small teams, not ready to relent from having other match wins in Laliga that can make them end up lifting the Liga trophy

Hansi Flick Have been building Barcelona in a good direction and if they continue like this Madrid will not be able to win the la Liga because Barcelona already have have 15 points and why even surprised me the most was how they played girona even scoring them four girona that is usually a serious competitor to Barcelona that were defeated without stress, the financial situation is not longer a concern to them and they have looked for a way to manage their thoughts over this situation and they are doing well even if am not a fan of Barcelona from the very beginning, that's football for you look who is performing well now.

Dani Olmo will be out for 4-5 weeks with an injury. He actually started the season very well, Barca was taking advantage of him. He scored 3 goals in 3 games. He was making a much better contribution in offense than he did last season at Leipzig. He had a very good Euro 2024 as well. Now he will have to take an involuntary break from football for a month. I'm sure he will come back strong. Fortunately, Barca have a comfortable fixture ahead of them. Olmo should be back in time for the Real Madrid game. We'll see him on the pitch for El Clasico.
I'm not surprised to know Dani Olmo injured for 4-5 weeks. He has quite a lot injury history and many of them to take many days. He even ever got an injury and it takes 53 days. I think Barcelona must give a special treatment for him. And he should be monitored regularly because he is a prone of injury. It will be bad if he is more often unavailable to play because of injury problems.

It is true that Dani Olmo started his journey with Barcelona perfectly. He could score 3 goals in 3 early matches in La Liga. IMO, it is an impressive stats for a new player. Well, it is expected that he will recover before El Classico. We will have an El Clasico in matchday 11, it will be in October 27. Anyway, there is still a lot of time before the El Classico. I'm sure Dani Olmo will fully recover before the big match.

I know a lot of people are not going to agree with me, but I still think that we should wait a little before reaching any conclusions. Yes, Barcelona has started the season very well and I also believe if they continue playing like this is a very big chance that Barcelona will be able to win the La Liga title. But that’s the question, will Barcelona be able to continue playing like this till the end of the season? I am not so sure about that. And this is something we see with almost every club. They start showing very good results whenever they get a new coach. But as soon as the other clubs realize what that club is trying to do and what tactics the coach is trying to implement, they start performing badly. So let’s see what happens with Barcelona at the end of the season.
Of course it will not guarantee that Barcelona will be able to become champions this season but if you look at their current statistics then the opportunity is still quite open. Previously many people also doubted Barcelona's existence this season because of several problems in its internal but Hansi Flick really showed another side and so far he has been able to make the team better.
However, there are no certainties, but optimism arose after the Barcelona team stated with Hansi Flick. Some people had concerns about the internal situation in the club, but Flick has invigorated the team and made progressive changes. So long as the statistics depict a upward trend, their probabilities of becoming champions are not precluded. One thing that remains for sure is that their journey this season is still long and the only way to realise their goals is through maintaining this kind of form regularly.

Barcelona have become a lion this season with the way there fire every of their opponents, I was surprised that way they dominate the entire game yesterday against Girona, they give Girona a tough closing marking and also received three yellow cards joined, that’s why their pressure was so much high in that match last season is Girona that the first team that occupied the first position but this season they unable to even reach up the fifth position.

But nevertheless, that’s all about football the last season was favor Girona even though they later draw down form the table,so in this case we should never give Barcelona full hope that they can able to maintain their consistent to remain in top Standard, because their only ahead of Real Madrid with just four points.
Of course Barcelona shouldn't be too happy with their winning streak so far. La Liga has competitive teams and the top of the standings will always be up for grabs throughout the season, even if currently Barcelona is in that position. The 4 point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is not a high amount, but if Barcelona can always maintain this good performance then they will stay there for a long time.

Leading the standings for longer is what I don't believe in Barcelona this season. Even though they have won 5 out of 5 matches so far, I don't fully trust Barcelona to continue their good performance. Everything is very volatile, after all it is the other 33 games until the end of the season that could be an opportunity for other teams to change their position in the standings.

As for the choose between Kvaratskhelia and Nico Williams I will go for the latter as he fits perfectly into the team than Kvaratskhelia. Nico Williams experience in playing in Laliga already gives him an edge if you ask me. He will also be less expensive than Kvaratskhelia who Napoli rate very high

Yea, I agree if we look at the La liga experience, Nico Williams has it and Kvaratskhelia does not. There is also the fact that Nico has a better relationship with the Barcelona players already than Kvaratskhelia, but when it comes to footballing ability, I don't think Nico is on the level of Kvaratskhelia. Kvaratskhelia does everything better than Nico. He's a better dribbler, better passer, better scorer, and creates more chances, Aside from pace, I don't think there's anything that Nico is better than Kvaratskhelia.

I agree that Kvaratskhelia is very expensive, but I believe he would not be more than a hundred million and by the end of the summer, Barcelona will be done with the renovation of their stadium and would have moved back to Camp Nou, meaning they might not be having money problems as they do now. If they find themselves in a better situation, spending a hundred million on a player might not be a very bad idea.
Both players are good though and any one of them will be a wonderful addition to the squad, but I feel Kvaratskhelia is better.

Hansi Flick has had a great debut and with all his limitations he managed to make Barcelona one of the most productive teams, and he also can maintain that consistency so far. Many people are questioning why Barcelona chose Dani Olmo over Nico Williams but it seems that Hansi Flick's decision was quite right because Dani Olmo played according to expectations and he contributed to Barcelona's wins.
With that winning streak, Barcelona will be more optimistic in facing the season, and I think they can't afford to stumble at this time because this is a great opportunity to solidify the top position, as their rival is facing an injury crisis.
At first I actually had a little doubt about Barcelona under Hansi Flick's coaching. But after the season started, it turned out that Hansi Flick had indeed proven something, namely that he was not a coach who should be underestimated. And it seems my doubts about Hansi Flick have faded too. Because 5 matches without defeat at the start of this season has become strong evidence that Barcelona can get better because Barcelona is currently under the coaching of Hansi Flick. And Barcelona's decision to bring in Dani Olmo was also the right decision.
Actually, I never expected to see Barcelona leading the standings at the start of this season. Because what I predicted before the season started was that Real Madrid would continue to win and be difficult to beat. But now what is happening is that Barcelona is in a position to continue winning and is difficult to beat. Every season it seems like it's always difficult for us to predict. Surprises are always present every season. Which keeps us from getting bored every season.

I know a lot of people are not going to agree with me, but I still think that we should wait a little before reaching any conclusions. Yes, Barcelona has started the season very well and I also believe if they continue playing like this is a very big chance that Barcelona will be able to win the La Liga title.

Ancelotti is right, of course they didn't "deserve" to win, they just got lucky, one of the penalties were just a handball and could have been considered natural position but that is not the point, Sociedad had about 4 or so shots that came back from the post and I still think that they are super lucky to have what they have, it looks like they are really looking like they just got lucky all game long and nothing more if you ask me.

I think it's clear that we are not going to see Real Madrid be dominated like this from a team like that for anytime that easily, it's definitely a lucky game for Sociedad to play that well against a team like Real Madrid as well. I agree that most of these happened because of the injuries and we are going to end up seeing them do a lot better in the future. We should remember that we are going to end up getting greater results and shouldn't really have any issues at all, we should be considering Real getting better when players return.

Many people are questioning why Barcelona chose Dani Olmo over Nico Williams but it seems that Hansi Flick's decision was quite right because Dani Olmo played according to expectations and he contributed to Barcelona's wins.

Concerns about their financial crisis do not seem to be an excuse for Hansi Flick to play poorly at the start of this season because looking at what Barcelona showed in terms of performance and goal productivity, we can certainly see that in the end Flick really did his best to date.

Barcelona is still very much in form even by looking at what they are showing now where 5 matches with 17 goals clearly shows the solidity they have as well as a good scoring ratio because 3.4 goals per game is clearly a very good record for Flick and Barcelona at the moment.

They need to maintain this well because after all we must realize that in the end this can clearly be a good capital to make their enthusiasm and consistency continue to be guaranteed in conditions that are actually still not very profitable from a financial point of view. Hopefully, the continuation of their performance will continue to be maintained because it would be a bit unfortunate if the good performance at the beginning of this season was tarnished just because of the financial problems that never ended which made them a little less in control of the current slick performance.

Learning never stops!
Yeah it was necessary. I recommend you to watch the incident again.  Smiley  Torres is clearly stepping on his opponent's foot and ankle both. It is a dangerous action that might have injured him.
Ohh really! If truly that was really intentional then it would have led to the player injury with that kind of stepping, that was what really made me to comment about it that it wasn't suppose to be a Red a yellow would have been better... I don't expect everyone to see it that way though bit it's what I feel should have been the right thing there(a Yellow and not a red  Tongue).

So far, Barcelona has started well, but we can't tell whether they will stick with their newly discovered good performance under Hansi Flick to be consistent in winning their Laliga matches to the end of the season.

It's not a really a discovery to  me, it's just a proper management... the skills and resources has always been available it's just require a proper management and that was Hansi Flick, the performance really changed tbh even without a full team Smiley

In fact, I wonder what Atletico Madrid will do this year, Griezmann will get enough efficiency. Antoine Griezmann has scored two goals in 5 matches so far and one goal was in the Valencia match played yesterday. Let's see, Real Madrid and Barcelona made very good transfers this year, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to enter this race but it is not impossible to be honest.

After seeing Barcelona's recent win over Girona, it's clear they're on fire! Five wins in five games. what a run! This team looks unstoppable, and every single player is stepping up with great chemistry. If they keep playing like this, more trophies are definitely on the way! however Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal are also unbeaten in La Liga this season, despite having two draws each. Nothing lasts forever, but I'll be thrilled if Barcelona wins La Liga. This Barcelona team can now compete for titles. If they beat Bayern and Real Madrid next month, I’ll know they’re serious this year.
It is true that Barcelona played thier recent games with good quality. All of thier players are playing so well. Yamal Jamal, Lawandoski, Dani Olmo and Raphina all these players just contribute a lot for the team, and therefore Barcelona are so good in the league table. I really appreciate their performance. But guys you know that it a football a and everything can happen. It was too early to predict the winner of this season. Previous season Girona and Barcelona were considered favorites for La Liga champion at the beginning of the season despite at the end Real Madrid getting first place and being the champion of La Liga. Thus far this season Real Madrid also started the season very slowly due to the injuries but if real Madrid all players came and recovered from injury indeed they tried hard for first place. So possibly they can get the chance to win first place in the league table.
Barcelona's performance in recent matches is truly commendable. They have put Real Madrid under a lot of pressure in this league since the beginning. If Barcelona can sustain this kind of performance until the end, they will do very well in this league. Atlético Madrid are playing very well and they are also a big rival of Real Madrid. Real Madrid is very popular and known team in Laliga series. They were also champions last season and Barcelona were runners-up.  However, Barcelona's performance this year seems to be preparing very well to become champions.  For the last three seasons, they came close to the championship but did not become the champion. I hope Barcelona will win La Liga this time

Previously many doubted Girona's ability to maintain its good performance last season, this match looked very easy for Barcelona. Girona was unable to develop its game due to constant pressure from Barcelona. 5 consecutive wins from 5 games played indicate that Barcelona's revival has begun under Hansi Flick, they have scored 17 goals and only conceded 4 times. Lamine Yamal was the main actor in Barcelona two big wins against Real Valladolid and against Girona, his rapid development can make it easier for Barcelona to achieve victory.
Not losing in five matches at the start of this season is something extraordinary for Barcelona with their coach Hansi Flick. Because before this season started there were some people who doubted Hansi Flick's career at Barcelona because he was a new coach this season. But from the five wins that Barcelona has achieved, it has become very clear evidence that Barcelona has really developed very well this season and can even be much better than last season if Barcelona's performance can continue to be consistent like this until the end of the season.
So far, Barcelona has started well, but we can't tell whether they will stick with their newly discovered good performance under Hansi Flick to be consistent in winning their Laliga matches to the end of the season.

I don't think Barcelona choose between Nico and Olmo. They wanted to sign both of them but only Olmo was successful because Nico decided to remain at Bilboa for almost a season. The problem with Olmo has never been his qualities. Everybody knew Olmo was good, the problem has always been his injury problems. He gets injured way too often. As you can see he has already gotten injured after just 3 matches for Barcelona. He's out for 4-5 weeks due to a hamstring injury. Let's hope he comes back with the same form and doesn't get injured again because the season is getting to the intensive part. 

I think Barcelona will still try to sign Nico Willanms next season and by that time he's value might have dropped a little bit but I don't want them to go for him again. They can try and make Kvaratskhelia their main target in that position. I believe he fits into the Flicks system more than Nico. Since they have Raphina who can play as a 10, LW and RW, adding VKvaratskhelia will be very good for the team.

If we look at the two players both Nico Williams and Dani Olmo will be a good addition but due to the constraints in the club’s finance they went for Olmo who to me is a better option than Nico Williams, with Dani Olmo you have a utility player who can actually give lots of things like playing in numerous positions that the club lacks players than the other Spanish player, in terms of experience he is also more experienced than Nico Williams, so it is a good transfer.

As for the choose between Kvaratskhelia and Nico Williams I will go for the latter as he fits perfectly into the team than Kvaratskhelia. Nico Williams experience in playing in Laliga already gives him an edge if you ask me. He will also be less expensive than Kvaratskhelia who Napoli rate very high

Last season, Girona was a team to fear and this season it seems they also started on a good note but it's unfortunate that things fell apart for them during their match against Barcelona. I don't know whether to called it a fail for the Girona side or an improvement for the Barcelona side. Whichever be the case, I think Girona needs to step up their game.

In the other side, it seems that Barcelona is stable under their new coach and I also heard they are making moves to buy the German young superstar Musiala.

There is no doubt that Barcelona have really improved under Hansi Flick, not caring about Girona who last season  were Real Madrid's competitors at the top of La Liga because anyway, this season is clearly a new chapter. After all, Real Madrid had good results last season and also had impressive transfers after signing Mbappe, but the reality is that Real Madrid are not as good as Barcelona so far this season. In addition, if you realize last season the fact that Girona managed to beat Barcelona in the two matches played in La Liga last season with a score of 2-4 and 4-2, but at this moment Barcelona really managed to destroy Girona at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi.

But indeed, with the good results Barcelona have had so far without defeat, then it seems that I have high hopes for Barcelona's success in the Champions League as well. Because at least, Barcelona's first match in the Champions League will also play away against Monaco and of course, it is not an easy match because Monaco also has good results at the beginning of this  season in the Ligue 1 standings. But of course, considering Barcelona are still unbeaten in La Liga, then this match in the Champions League will prove  whether Barcelona can still be consistent with good results or not.

After leaving 5 weeks behind, Barcelona are the only team with 5 wins in 5 matches. Such an impressive performance!  Grin  17 goals scored and 4 goals conceded. Maybe the defense isn't in the best shape yet but at least they don't concede more than one goal in a game. When it comes to scoring productivity, they are the best by far.
Flick's presence in Barcelona really makes the entire squad play very solidly and can optimize their true abilities. Then, they are also more offensive. 5 consecutive wins convince us that Barcelona is not as weak as before. Although the season is still very long, but if you see how Flick manages this club, it makes me as a Real Madrid fan a little worried that they can always be in first place because of their consistency. In fact, this time, Real Madrid's position has been shifted by Atletico Madrid who managed to win with a higher score than Real Madrid in the last match.


anyway, Unfortunately, their new signing, Dani Olmo has to rest for about 4-5 weeks due to a right hamstring injury that he experienced. This is one of the nightmares for a new signing to get injured at the beginning of their season playing with their new club.

I still don't know how Girona are going to manage in the champions league with these kind of awful display we have seen, I feel they're not suppose to be in the champions league to start with.
Girona didn't qualify to play in the UEFA Champions League by luck or chance rather they earned it by finishing in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table last season. Saying that you feel they're not supposed to play in the competition is disrespectful to the club and a total neglect to their hard work of last season.
Girona for a truth haven't been as impressive as many would've wanted to be since the start of the season but that necessarily do not mean that they'll not do well in the UCL competition. Despite the poor start to the season, Girona might end up having a good outing in Europe.


Barcelona has been very strong this season and they are winning matches with their best performances in every match.
After Barcelona's convincing win at Girona yesterday, someone told me that "Barcelona this season have been what we thought Real Madrid would be". As a Real Madrid fan, there's way no way I could agree more to that statement because Barcelona have been almost perfect since the start of the season. Real Madrid who we initially thought will dominate the Spanish La Liga from the beginning have to sit up if they really want to retain the league title or risk losing it to the current league leaders
