Has FC Barcelona been at its very best as compared to the club's last few campaigns?

FC Barcelona currently stands as the table toppers of La Liga, being in the first spot with four wins in their first four matchdays. For context, this has been the first time the club finds itself comfortable with the complete 12 points in the first four games after the 2018/19 season. More importantly, the way they have conquered the first four matchdays has been simply one of a kind.

Has FC Barcelona been at its very best as compared to the club's last few campaigns?

Even though the club has been playing top-notch football since the first game against Valencia, it seems that finally, the club's efforts have started reciprocating in the results. Barca's recent dominating display of a 7-0 scoreline against Valladolid was something the Culers hadn't witnessed in recent times. Thus, the question arises: has FC Barcelona been at its very best as compared to the club's last few campaigns?

Since the Hansi Flick era began at the Catalan club, significant improvements have been witnessed in various aspects. With improvements in training routines, player injury recovery, and match training, the German manager's tactics have been straight to the point from day one. And now, it feels that the squad's efforts are getting reflected in their fixture results.

What has been the most astonishing part of this setup's success has been the club's brilliant show despite the unavailability of stars like De Jong, Araujo, and Gavi. As Flick has been saying from the very start, he prefers focusing on the available players rather than waiting for the return of key players for results. This German mentality has been what has distinguished the club's new scheme, unlike the previous campaigns.

Not to forget, following the club's ideology of including youngsters in the setup and giving them key roles, Flick has been quite successful in managing talents like Yamal, Pedri, and Cubarsi to their very best. No surprise, the trio has emerged as the pivotal players in the club's new campaign so far.

Moreover, what sets Flick apart is the manager's humility to remain stuck to the ground and his ability to help his players follow the same. Just a few games into the new La Liga season, Flick has been regarded as the club's best signing of the transfer window, having established hopes in the hearts of Culer fans that the club would fight for major trophies this season.

Overall, it is clear that since the iconic Messi era ended at FC Barcelona, it is the first time the Blaugrana club has been feeling this confident in their performances, with the players willing to give everything to the club's overall betterment.
