Barca can do well without Raphinha. The problem is they can't score as good as last season. We missed the Barcelona we used to see, who score a lot of goals in every game.
Lamine Yamal can play there. He used opportunities pretty good so far. Barca had too many injuries this season but other than that, they don't dominate attacks and score a lot of goals as their tradition. I think they need better transfers but financial situation is still poor. For sure they need another role player, they can't win all matches with only Lewandowski's goals.
The absence of Raphinha might not be felt so much, because Lamine Yamal's performances have been promising. The team's struggles in attack could be attributed to injuries and a lack of dominance in attacks. This Barca team is indeed not Barca we used to know with traditional style involves scoring a lot of goals in every game.
They need to have a diverse set of contributors beyond Lewandowski, because it could indeed enhance their chances of winning matches consistently. While it's a tough situation, there's hope that Barcelona can find solutions and improve their attacking prowess, either through developing existing talents like Yamal or making strategic transfers when possible. It's a challenging period, but football often involves cycles, and with the right adjustments, Barcelona may regain their scoring prowess.
