Barcelona didn't have an easy job at all though. It was like they were waiting for Valencia to score to start performing better.

Lewandowski was on his very good day that he scored two goals. It is good to see him being beneficial for his team. Because he is one of top earners in the squad now. Therefore the expectations are bigger as well.
I still believe it could be his last year at Barcelona on one hand. He is 35 and has 2 years left on his contract. If he plays much extra this season then maybe the team could consider keeping him for one last year.
Barca played their usual possession game. It wasn't easy to create chances but they did. Lewandowski showed a good game. Yamal also showed his contribution.
Securing the first 3 points is quite important for Barca, especially with their new coach. Of course, in the first few games, the focus will be on assessing how well Flick can maximize the team he has.
Just hope Barca has a better and more consistent game.
Barcelona game still looks like when Xavi coaches who prioritizes ball possession and also short balls to pressure opponents, I personally when I saw the match I didn't see any significant difference or change in Barcelona's way of playing under the coaching of Hansi Flick unless they were more daring to shoot from outside the penalty box.
Barcelona managed to win their first match over Valencia, but for some reason I think that if Barcelona has not shown a game that does make them worthy of being favored to win the league this season, Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal are still Barcelona mainstays in scoring goals, but the main problem seen in the match is Barcelona defense which is a little bad when under pressure from the opposing team.
I hope Hansi Flick will soon find a solution to strengthen their defense before facing an aggressive team in attacking in their next match.
