It wasn't an easy game for Barcelona but most importantly is in the fact that they won at the end of the day, Barcelona still have a relatively good squad, their performance today wasn't a bad one even if it's not a really commendable one either, they had an almost equally good opponent and yet they got a good performance that can be seen as promising.

I want to believe the new coach will be able to get Barcelona to the point where they are able to win trophies a d probably gain the kind of strength that will position them at the top of the league such that they will be considered again as top team in the la Liga as they regain their known form once again.

Interesting first half display from both sides as they went ahead to both score goals. The goal from Lamine Yamal was great, but that goal should have been prevented if Nico Williams marked him properly. Well, great goal from Nico Williams. That penalty for Atletico Bilbao was worth it honestly and it was well taken.
Barcelona should do well to get a midfielder who can maintain balance for them in midfied same way Sergio Busquet did for them years back.

They do need to get Daniel Olmo registered with IIkay Gundogan gone. Who else saw that Raphina placed behind the striker wasn't working? Who did?!

Finally, Atletico Bilbao failed to create proper chances for themselves. Williams "Snr" made good runs but, inaccurate passes from his teammates couldn't match his runs.

One thing I will say about this Barcelona recent performances is that the club experienced good shift of game because of the experience of the head coach Hansi flick which to me has been the vital role here. During the Xavi era, Barcelona wouldn’t have won the both matches because he always sucks at losing position or when making subs and that’s where Hansi flick has over him, he always has a game plan. It is just two games played but Barcelona is looking more like a proper title contender, this two matches are against an organized middle clubs which they could lose in some cases, I think they need to just build on the momentum for now and grow with every game.

As for Chiesa is definitely a player I admire a lot and believe that will be a good signing, Also his price is just enough even with Barcelona crisis they should be able to afford him since juventus are looking for a way for him to leave. He would fit perfectly into that left wing position which is lacking depth at the moment

I agree that Barcelona is playing better under Hansi Flick. He is experienced and makes good decisions during games like substituting players. This is improvement from Xavi time. Barcelona is showing signs of being strong team but it is still early. They should keep up good work and build on their current success. I also think Chiesa would be great addition to team especially on left wing where they need more players. His price is reasonable and Juventus wants to sell him making him good option.

The Barcelona team are certainly performing at their best this season, despite winning games earlier this season. But today as they will be competing against the Athletic team, the Barcelona team is very strong in terms of the squad. Because here when we go to bet instantly we will compare the most about the squads of the two teams. And finally, we will bet on the team whose players are performing well and are more experienced, so I have chosen the Barcelona team. Of course Barcelona team is very strong in this match and they can definitely score and win.

Barcelona was ready to prepare for that game and am not surprised that Barcelona won because even with their predicament they will still have to find a way out, as far as the management can pay their players and the coaches I don't even see the reason why their financial] issue should be affecting their performance because that is supposed to be for the management to handle not a problem for the players, since they have a different purpose why not they focus on what they are supposed to do and Barcelona winning is a way forward for them because everyone is already thinking that because of their finance issue Barcelona won't perform well and with what we are currently seen they are going to do well as expected of them. even if they are just coming up, a lot of people did not expect this performance from Barcelona even if it was a close one from drawing the game at least they won that is the most important thing, drawing would have been worst than them losing.

The financial crisis did not make Barcelona experience a decline in performance, two matches have been played and Hansi Flick squad managed to secure 6 points. It seems that the difficulties have made the players and everyone involved in the team more motivated, so that Barcelona can advance smoothly without significant obstacles. Athletic Bilabo is actually not an easy team to beat, but once again Barcelona has confirmed itself as one of the rulers in La Liga. Hansi Flick does not seem to need much time to adapt, the strategy he has implemented so far has been quite effective. In addition, this strategy has also had an impact on increasing Lewandowski sharpness at this time, he managed to score goals in two consecutive matches. Lamine Yamal is also increasingly mature, he has developed rapidly since being promoted by Xavi last season. On the other hand, Real Madrid needs to take Barcelona consistency seriously, this is a direct threat in the competition for the trophy this season.

Yamal is one of the players that I feel Barcelona are lucky to have currently. A young talent with a lot of potentials in him is what every club wants in their players with long term prospects with them. Yamal will definitely make wave in football and I don’t see him losing form anytime soon. He can as well help propel Barcelona in this their conditions that remains uncertain of the next step they need to take for the club.

Lamine Yamal, a young player who shines, is talented, and is very reliable for the present and future of Barcelona. Lewandowski, a player who is quite old, but this season, his contribution is very good, starting to be productive again with six goals at the beginning of the season.

Lamine Yamal + Lewandowski, great combination

Source: FC Barcelona 2-1 Athletic Club

They should start to be watched out for, Flick is starting to show his ability to manage Barcelona, maybe it could be much better. It is indeed too early to judge, but from these 2 matches, it is not a small club. Whatever it is, Barcelona ahs done their best effort.

The first half was more balanced but later on Barcelona took control of the game more. This was enough to win the game by 2-1. Lewandowski scored the winner yeah and he is in a great shape recently.

It is really like he is able to play more comfortable under Hansi Flick's management. He wasn't this productive in the previous season you know.

Good game by Barcelona today and I will say they’re doing a great job to be one of the major contenders of the league title alongside Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. They’re really playing well and I need to commend them especially their coach for a job well done to start the season on a good note. Let them not get too excited and relax their nerves yet, they have a long way to go and for them to finish at the top level, they need to remain consistent and win almost all of their matches and try to avoid too much defeat from any team. No team should be looked down on and play every match to win the tough way, with that mindset, they won’t relax and feel a team is more superior or less competitive than the other when they play with them.

Yamal is absolutely a big talent. At such a young age he has played not only in a big league like La Liga but also in a Euro tournament. I can't imagine what kind of a player he will turn out to be in a few years. I'm curious whether his idol is Messi. Grin

Barcelona couldn't have good days recently and they had financial issues but the other bad news for Flick and his team is about Andreas Christensen their Danish player. He needs to have one month of recovery and he will lose some games in Barcelona like the players Fati and Gavi and other players.
He is going to be definitely absent in the next two games, Andreas Christensen had the same injury in the last season.

They played very well, I hope they continue this way and even do more better. The worst for them would be feeling a lot relaxed with the results they have now, Barcelona are yet to meet the best teams in the league, so there should be enough room for consistency and improvements. Barcelona are having it this season, stopping Nico won't be as much difficult, also having a counter like Yamal in the team is considerably equal, two young talented players who can change the phase of the game, it will really be a tough one if they get to meet again but the odds there favours Barcelona.

Real Madrid are not down, they had a bad game during their previous match but definitely those misfortunes will be corrected, Madrid are coming back stronger with more effectiveness, even Barcelona can not stand them. We wait on their next fixture to rate their performances.

Barcelona again showed their slick performance in today's match because in this match of course the opponent they faced was quite strong. but with the strategy arranged by Hansi Flick made Barcelona come out as the winner in this match. In this match Yamal opened the lead for Barcelona because he managed to score a goal in the 24th minute. The match was quite tough because both teams played quite well but unfortunately for Bilbao they were unable to maintain the match with a draw because Lewandowski was able to score a goal in the 75th minute and was able to maintain it until Barcelona emerged as the winner.

Seeing Barcelona's performance, of course there is a big chance that they will be able to show their consistency to continue to win 3 points. In tomorrow's match we will wait for the results of the Real Madrid vs Valladolid match because this match is really important for Real Madrid to win because they are playing at home. But if Valladolid is able to make a surprise, Real Madrid's progress at the beginning of the season could be a little bit of a hurdle.

Villareal definitely started the season better than I expected, a tie against Athletico Madrid, which is ranked a lot higher, and then also a win over Sevilla as well, got them to four points even though they had a tough start to the season. If they keep this up, they could be top four team of this season. I know the top three, you know the top three, the whole world knows the top three, it's real and Barcelona and Athletico Madrid, or at least that's how it should be.

If it is not, like for example Girona third last season, that's a shock and unexpected, not what people expect. This year Villareal really looks like a proper team and I can see them get to fourth place, I always liked them and usually they are midtable, this season I expect better.

We can see some differences in the final day standings of the La Liga table at the end of the season because I have seen how some teams I never expected to perform better are trying to put in more effort at the beginning of the season so that they can get as many points as possible before the season gets tough for them due to a lack of squad depth and other factors that can bring them down.

Before the beginning of the season, I was expecting a better performance from teams like Sevilla, Athletic Club Biilbao, Valencia, and Real Sociedad; while I already knew that teams like Barcelona, Madrid, and Atletico Madrid would be among the top three teams to finish the league, occupying the Champions League spots. But as it is now, I have seen a great effort from Villareal and Osasuna to make a good start by winning one and drawing one match among their two opening games, while Celta Vigo won their first two opening matches. I will be expecting a good win from Madrid because they are left behind, and I hope the injuries to two of their key players will not affect the team.

From the two matches Barcelona have played in La Liga, the results are quite good even though they did not get clean sheets but anyway, Barcelona is still consistent with three points. Although at least, in the two matches that have been played, at least the opposing teams faced by Barcelona are basically not weak teams. But anyway, Barcelona still managed to win and it was very different from Real Madrid, which was expected to win easily in its first match against Mallorca, but in fact Real Madrid only got a draw.

Despite not being a Barcelona fan, I am so happy that they are getting good results since the start of the season. Many people did not think that Barcelona would achieve this kind of success so early because the team was not able to sign as many expected players to strengthen their performance. I have confidence in Hansi Flick that he will make Barcelona great again, despite the lack of new signings due to the club's financial situation. Barcelona has started well by beating Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, accumulating 6 points so far.

As for Real Madrid's last match against Mallorca, which ended in a draw, what I observed is that Real Madrid was just not lucky enough to win. They really played well and deserved the victory, but luck was not on their side in that first match. Let's see what happens in their next match. I believe they will find a way to win as they draw the ir last match.

The most important thing for Barcelona at the moment is 3 points because the cleansheet problem can still be thought of later because after all the victory will certainly be much more worthy of them than having to bother thinking about it.
It's just that this can also be a consideration because in the end when they concede a goal regardless of whether it is a penalty goal or a goal that comes from open play there is a gap that must be thought of for Flick to make his defense solid.
But indeed 2 wins in these first 2 matches will provide a good hope for them in the race for the trophy even though it is still a long and tiring match that will wait.

For Madrid, last week's draw and the loss of Camavinga and Jude this week will obviously put more pressure on them, especially since they have to get 3 points to make Madrid feel better and actually for now I am still quite confident that they can still get 3 points this week even without Jude and Camavinga in Madrid's midfield.

Barcelona again proved that they can win the match and score 3 points even though they are having financial problems. Previously, Barcelona also won 3 points over Valencia, then today Barcelona won over Athletic Bilbao. Hansi Flick's men's performance was good today, but I still found that some of their attack schemes were still weak, especially when they got goal opportunities.

Their self-made financial condition for several seasons is in the end sometimes not able to stem good performance but in the end this can also be a time bomb for Barcelona itself and indeed for now in the first 2 weeks it seems that Barcelona wants to make good results so that they are not too bothered for mid-season and the end of the season which sometimes a busy schedule can interfere with the situation in La Liga and this is what they really have to do.

Lewandowski also under the tutelage of Flick at the moment seems to get back the performance that was a little lost last season because indeed in the 2 matches he has done he has never been absent to score. But on the other hand the conditions are still the same where until now there is still no name Dani Olmo listed in their squad this season.

Barcelona won with their young stars. I think last week's game was more difficult. Barca won both games 2-1. Against Valencia they came from behind, and in this game they won after twice taking the lead. There is nothing to say about the penalty, it was the right decision. It's important that they didn't concede a goal in a flowing game. Lewandowski had many chances but was unlucky, luckily he managed to score finally. Barca can chase the title with these young stars. Real Madrid's squad looks stronger, but Barca are more hungry for success, they are made up of young talents. It will be a very tough battle throughout the season.

But still about Barcelona, that the potential young player that Barcelona has just brought in is Dani Olmo also still cannot be registered. Because it seems, Barcelona still has several players with large salaries, so Dani Olmo still cannot be registered, even though Barcelona has also kicked Gundogan, but that is still not enough for Barcelona to register Dani Olmo. Can't imagine, I sure if Dani Olmo had been able to be registered and entered the Barcelona squad, then it looks like Barcelona will be even better.

I would love to see the time Barcelona was feared by all including Real Madrid because that period gave us the most fascinating El Classico, a match that all football lovers all over the world look up to with so much excitement.

Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski scored today's goals at home and Yamal won MVP in this match. Yamal's performance has been in the spotlight recently, but Barcelona must be very careful with him because he is still young. I like how Flick treated him by not giving Yamal the number 10, that's good for the developing Lamine.

Lamine Yamal is just extraordinary and it seems he became his best after the Euro 2024 tournament that he won for the Spanish national team. Well, every player have their turning point in their career and I guess that was his. I think this combination might be what was missing in Barcelona since.
