The additional 3 points strengthen Barcelona position at the top of the standings, Alaves could not provide resistance that could trouble Barcelona. Hansi Flick squad looked very dominant in the match, with Lewandowski appearing impressive thanks to the hat-trick he scored today. This is the second victory after Barcelona last lost to Osasuna at the end of September, and I think they are back on track. In addition, Lewandowski currently leads the list of top scorers in La Liga with 10 goals, under Hansi Flick control, Lewandowski has found his sharpness again.
I see Barcelona performing satisfactorily in La Liga, the appointment of Hansi Flick as manager has given a significant boost to the team development. However, the challenges will be even tougher as the season progresses, Barcelona must be able to maintain this good performance to continue to lead the standings. Madrid will continue to try to press from below, which overall can be interpreted as a competition for trophies. Meanwhile, several injured players seem to be able to return to the squad after the international break, which is good news for Hansi Flick.
Barcelona should have played like in the match against Alaves, they have players with quite good quality. plus, Flick's touch makes Barcelona more enjoyable to watch. last season Lewa had a hard time scoring goals, this season he has started to show his sharpness as a pure striker again. Lewa has scored 10 goals in 9 matches and two assists in La Liga. currently, Lewa is leading the top scorers for the time being. talking about Barcelona's two previous defeats, the match against Monaco in the UCL and against Osasuna in La Liga, if there were no obstacles Barca should have won the match. in the Osasuna match, Flick tried to make a difficult decision to rotate his team even though it was high risk. however, now Barca has returned to its winning ways. well, the challenge is the long term. I mean, Barca will play match after match in various competitions and that will certainly drain the players' energy. Flick inevitably has to maximize each of his players, so don't be surprised if later there will be a lot of rotations that Hansi Flick will do when Barcelona competes. but if Barcelona players have recovered, Flick is more free to explore his tactics and strategies. moreover, Barca has talented players.
