As i predicted Barcelona wins the game with huge scores. The thing that i can't believe it if their off-side trap is always working. There is also a moment when their off-side trap narrowly saved them like in the picture above. I think the MVP in this game is their off-side trap.
So far the Barcelona players' offside trap has been really effective in preventing their opponents from scoring goals, not only in this match but Barcelona also managed to do it in the El Clasico match. Espanyol was caught offside 6 times in this match, while Real Madrid was caught offside 12 times in the previous match. This is a good defensive system from Barcelona, but every now and then they also have to be aware that the opponent will try to avoid it.
About the game, I credit Dani Olmo. He was superb. He scored two goals and had a banger game. He really helped the club beat a low-block team. he shall always be a part of starting line up.
Barcelona would be struggled to beat Espanyol who parked the bus without him.
I think all the players played well in this match including Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and also Lewandowski. These three attackers both helped in building attacks, as did the midfielders including Pedri, Dani Olmo and Cassado. Good defense must also be given a thumbs up, Cubarsi is a good young defender in Barcelona's current center back.
