These newly advanced teams from the lower division are creating surprises. Barcelona was fully dominating the match but effective defense and counterattack made Barcelona nearly lose it. Atletico Madrid was too made to share the points with Elche. It's not that these teams would come in and just take the lead but the difficulty in playing them for larger teams could be due to their lower exposure to that team and their strategies. With teams playing each other more, they'd be more ready to handle the teams like they do to other teams they are used to.
I never imagined Barca went down 2 goals at the first half, but glad Pedri added a goal for them before ht. The still went down 1 goal in the second half, but adding more goals after Olmo in. Their whole setup is just terrible. Placing Raphinha as CAM is the problem. They played far better after Olmo in and replace Raphinha's position.
Just never play Rashford again. He's plague for the club. Putting Raphinha as LW is already best. I hope they won't be doing this crap experiment in the next game. Their bettors were almost losing the hope for them.
