After 4 consecutive league games without a win, Barcelona finally delivered. Maybe Valencia was not the strongest rival (19th place currently) but 7-1 was still very impressing.
Right now Barca has the best attack in the league with 59 goals scored, which averages to over 2.8 goals per game. Unfortunately for them, it's the points that counts, not goals. Points-wise they're still 7 behind Real, as Real didn't have any problems defeating Valladolid (3-0), so I have very little hope for them to stop Real from defending their title.
There are rivals and Hansi Flick is competent, he was expected to lead the team to be in the very first spot on the La Liga table but why are we not seeing them occupying this spot? They need more time to exert excellent performance to elevate themselves among their oppositions. We wouldn't want to watch the current epic superb form of Barcelona because they're one of the best teams in Europe. We've watched them climbing and banging goals for the club, this is really one of the thrilling moments for them. Barcelona big win of 7-1 against Valencia was huge surprise and they're ontop. Always climbing and fighting their way to reach the very top.
