Sensational Barca forward steals the spotlight in the first El Clasico this season

The Preseason friendly that was much awaited by football fans worldwide has just concluded, with FC Barcelona going strong past their Clasico rivals Real Madrid. Even though the match was supposed to be a highly competitive fixture, it wouldn't be wrong to conclude that the Blaugrana club dominated Los Blancos.

Pau Victor steals the spotlight in the first El Clasico this season

With a comparatively younger squad, Flick has shown what FC Barcelona has been known for over the years. The young Barcelona sensation Pau Victor led the charge right from the front, having both goals to his name. The forward was key as Barca emerged victorious over Real Madrid 2-1.

Ever since arriving in Barcelona, Pau Victor has been one of Flick's favorites and now the youngster is further cementing Flick's belief. Scoring the go-ahead goal against Manchester City in the Preseason opener and a brilliant brace against Real, the 22-year-old boasts three goals out of the team's tally of four.

Add another feat: he won back-to-back Preseason MOTMs for the masterclass against Manchester City and a demolition of Madrid's backline. In only 65 minutes of game time against Clasico rivals, Victor managed to complete every pass, win every duel, and bang two goals against Courtois while losing possession a single time.

Showing such brilliance while just starting his career at FC Barcelona, the youngster has shown promise to be the next big name in Barca's attack force. Once, he was the striker who was criticized for wanting to play for Barça Atlètic despite having offers from higher categories. And now, a year later, he scores a beautiful brace and becomes the MVP against Real Madrid. Pau is living his dream for Barcelona.

Speaking on his match-winning performance of 2 goals against Real Madrid, Pau Victor said,

""A memory I will remember for the rest of my life. I am very happy.""

Barca possesses a sensational young talent in the form of Pau Victor, who can be the successor of Lewandowski at the club. FC Barcelona would hope that the youngster continues his rich vein of form and breaks through as the first-team star of the season.
