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's success in securing 3 points from Valencia is a good first step for them at the start of this season. It was not easy to beat Valencia, but the Barcelona squad which had 5 young players in it managed to win an important victory. Hansi Flick is good at handling a young team like Barcelona now, he can combine it with several experienced players such as Lewandowski, Raphinha, Iñigo Martínez and others.
The match statistics also prove that Barcelona has an advantage in the quality of its play. They excel in possession of the ball and also kicks towards goal, they also have a passing accuracy of almost 90%. Not sure if Barcelona can be underestimated this season, but I believe the Real Madrid squad has greater strength.
