FC Barcelona's start of the season has been stupendous. Although the Monaco fixture disrupted the club's morale a bit, the unit emerged better than ever, defeating Villarreal 5-1 at the Ceramica. Be it the club's defensive compartment, their energized midfield, or the front three's goal spree, the club has looked complete in all aspects so far.

FC Barcelona stars once again make up the majority of La Liga's Team of the Week

Recently, after delivering a marvelous performance against Villarreal, the club has been rewarded with four of its star players being named in Marca's La Liga Team of the Week. Lewandowski and Raphinha comprise the majority of the attack force, and with Pablo Torre coming in the midfield and Ter Stegen in the goal, the club has dominated the Team of the Week.

Barca's number nine, Robert Lewandowski, who scored two times in the matchday against Villarreal, was instrumental in laying the foundation of the club's win. Although, unfortunately, he struck a penalty to the post, being short of his first hat trick this season, the Polish legend looked extremely good on the frontline, deservedly winning the POTM.

Similar has been the case with Raphinha, who completed his brace in the second half within the first 10 minutes, sealing the victory for the club. Not only for his 2 goals but more importantly, the way he stepped up after Barca's Captain Ter Stegen was forced off was commendable, being crucial in getting him the Team of the Week mention.

Although the club's stars, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, stood instrumental as usual, much praise needs to be given to Pablo Torre, who made it to the Team of the Week at his debut start of the season. With his 2 goal contributions, with the first one being a beautiful pass to fetch the go-ahead goal for Barca, Torre stepped up perfectly in Olmo's role against Villarreal.

Barca's number 1, Ter Stegen's inclusion in the Team of the Week just showcases how brilliant the German looked in the fixture, even though he played only 45 minutes. Making some big saves against a competitive Villarreal, Ter Stegen was crucial in keeping the scoreline in Barca's favor till halftime.

Overall, the inclusion of four Barca stars has been a significant achievement for the club, apart from their main aim of winning major titles this season. Although the club has faced a major setback with Ter Stegen, out for around 8 months, the Blaugrana club would try its best to continue with the same momentum.
