So far, FC Barcelona has remained quite discreet. The game developed by Ernesto Valverde's team was serious against Deportivo Alavés (3-0) and then Valladolid (0-1), but lacked consistency over the duration of the matches. This Sunday, in a staggering match of the 3rd round of La Liga, we found a scintillating Barça and particularly effective offensive, and Huesca was the cost (8-2). Conversely, if we had to note a black spot, it would be the two goals conceded, the first two this season in the league. But if it is necessary to go through to see the Blaugranas let go and offer such a beautiful show, then socios will undoubtedly accept to present some defenses in return.
On his Camp Nou lawn, FC Barcelona pulled out all the stops, while leaving their little hour of glory to the visitors, who managed to sign the first goal of the game (0-1, 3rd). And then the festival started, and the scoring machine did the rest, relentless and great. Even if a semblance of suspense was still palpable at rest (3-2) ... The second act was largely won by the defending champion, on the score of 5-0. A double from Lionel Messi (16th and 61st), another from Luis Suarez (39th and 90th + 3 penalty), a csc (24th), Ousmane Dembele (48th), Ivan Rakitic (52nd) and Jordi Alba (81st) have propelled the Catalans to the top of the points standings with Real Madrid, but with a more advantageous goal difference.
In the end, all the stars participated in the party, and Lionel Messi could even afford a hat-trick if he had not left his Uruguayan counterpart the penalty kicked late in the game. The former Red Liverpool may find little by little the confidence and efficiency somewhat lost in recent months ... In the end, among the offensive talents, only Philippe Coutinho remained silent. But the performance of the Brazilian international was nevertheless of high quality, and his influence in the game, like his exceptional pass game, have largely contributed to the Barcelona demonstration.
