Raphinha and Yamal picked up right where they left off. Watching Yamal in Barcelona after Messi is an incredible joy. When Mallorca went down to nine men, Barca slowed the tempo way down. They probably don't even put in that little effort during training. Yamal finished the game with his signature goal at the end of the stoppage time. It was a great start for Barca.
Mallorca's new mascot looks cute. When I saw it on the shirt instead of a sponsor, I looked it up. I'm sure it caught everyone's attention.
This clearly says how Raphinha is the best pair for Yamal. So it's official Rashford's bench is now having seatbelt. I don't see a reason not to always put Raphinha as a starter. So he's clearly irreplaceable even by Rashford.
Rashford will only replace Raphinha if Raphinha has fitness problems because it is clear that Raphinha will not be replaced when he is fit, but initially I thought that in this match when Lewandowski was not in the list, his position would be replaced by Rashford because he could also be placed in that position, but Torres' name came out as a starter, maybe Flick still didn't trust him enough. What is clear is that this match was a good start for Barcelona because they won very easily.
