I know Barca drew their first game this season,but by the time they will blend together,their is every tendency that they will be a menace to almost all the teams in Spain especially the defending champions Real Madrid.Madrid won their first game of the season,but it is still early to conclude.Barca are the favourite for this tittle in my view.
I really believe in the second game Barcelona will be better especially in terms of goal productivity. They couldn't score a single goal in the match against Rayo Vallecano, but that doesn't mean they failed to create many chances. The strikers that Barcelona have this season are much better, but we are just waiting to see how dangerous their form really is.
Real Madrid will of course have to be wary of them this season, but it looks like Barcelona will still need some time to see their new signings adapt well. Raphinha, Lewandowski and Dembele are a trio who will be in good form this season, but they haven't proved much especially in the first game of the season.
Well, I think you're absolutely right, for now Barcelona is seen to be the team that has been best strengthened, and they have done everything to acquire high-level players with little money, this is something that promises, but the question is in that Xavi manages to manage these players and that they understand each other on the pitch, even though Barcelona has to achieve results, otherwise I don't know what will happen to this team if things don't go well for them, in another order of ideas is It is possible that Real Madrid is very aware of these new strategies, and perhaps for now the best thing they are going to concentrate on is winning the league again, obviously with the UCL in mind.
My belief is that Barcelona lost the first match because they simply did not play as well as they could have due to being rusty in the first match. Otherwise, I think that they will be able to improve their performance in the second match as well. In my opinion, Xavi is capable of managing the players well, and I am confident that he will do so efficiently. In particular, he has had the opportunity to work and play with some of the greatest players in the history of the game. There is no doubt that Barcelona is determined to play both for the La Liga title as well as for the title of the UEFA Champions League. However, if we take things from a more realistic perspective, I don't think Barcelona is likely to be able to win the Champions League.
