Barcelona again showed itself because they were underestimated in the previous season and it was the deepest wound for the team that was big in the 3rd best standings last season, however we need to appreciate Barcelona this season, they showed that they were not like last season with Hansi Flick, they managed to improve their quality and vision in season ii with very ambitious, the victory over Alaves made them back far above the table and it was a very extraordinary step, while Real Madrid as a rival seems quite overwhelmed at the beginning of the season.
Not many people underestimate Barcelona apart from fans of rival team Real Madrid, but that's normal. Barcelona has been on a good track since the start of the season until now, but unfortunately they lost points in their previous match against Osasuna. If Hansi Flick is able to maintain Barcelona's performance in the first half of this season, then Barcelona has a big chance of leading the standings until the end of the season.
But I'm not as optimistic as other people, Barcelona is still very unstable considering the many young players in it. If Lamine Yamal, Pedri and several other players are missing for any reason, then their performance will suffer. You can see how Barcelona performed against Osasuna, it was so bad and had difficulty keeping up with their opponent's game. Imagine if some of these main players were injured, I'm sure Barcelona would very easily lose points.
