The start of the season for FC Barcelona has been so far perfect. They lead the league table and they are the only team that has won every game despite still dealing with financial issues. The sole piece of unfavorable news is the recent injury of the young star Marc Bernal, who just suffered an ACL injury in the last game against Rayo Vallecano.

The young star had an incredible start to the season. He has started every single game for the team and Hansi Flick is in love with him. "We will miss him a lot," Coach Flick said. Barcelona has to now find a replacement within the current squad as they cannot access the market. Marc Casado is shaping up to be the new defensive midfielder.

Hansi Flick is having a direct impact on the team and the results are a reflection of his hard work behind the scenes. He has changed the shape of the team from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1. Raphinha is now occupying the number 10 position and he is doing a great job, especially in defense. Lamine Yamal is keeping the level we seen in euros, and Lewandowski is on a streak towards the goal.

It looked like it was going to be an easy path for Real Madrid after the signing of Kylian Mbappe but they are struggling after 1 win and 2 draws. FC Barcelona has to take advantage of this situation in case Los Blancos begin to find their groove.

The late addition Dani Olmo has perfectly fitted the team. It only took him 10 minutes to score on his debut and give Barcelona their 3rd win in a row. There are high expectations on the player and now even more after a promising debut. Is now Hansi's job to make the Spanish young star an important piece of the team.

The first international break is coming and the standards are defined. Is this just a piece of luck or is it tonic for the season? The reality is the facts and the facts say that FC Barcelona is the only team to have 9/9 points. Everybody is on the same page and good results will help the team recover financially in the long run.
