The new Barça is already doing its own thing

In just five LaLiga matchdays, the new signings for Barça have shown their worth. With the exception of Iñigo Martínez, the other additions have had significant roles in the team’s early season.

In the recent match against Betis, the ‘Joaos’ made their debut as starters and had a remarkable presence and undeniable responsibility in the culé triumph. In the first goal, Cancelo stole the ball in two-thirds of the field, and that same play ended with Joao Félix finding the back of the net after receiving an assist from Oriol Romeu, another new face who has quickly settled into the starting lineup and proven to be essential to Xavi’s tactics.

Joao Félix was also involved in the second goal, elegantly letting the ball pass through his legs to provide a ghost assist to Lewandowski. In the fifth and final goal, Cancelo reemerged as a key figure, creating an incredible solo play before striking the ball into the back of the net. This way, the Portuguese full-back marked his debut goal with Barcelona, following in the footsteps of Joao Félix.

One of Barcelona’s most outstanding signings in the summer transfer market has been Ilkay Gündogan. Although the German midfielder did not step onto the field against Betis due to back discomfort, he has already made an impact in the early stages of LaLiga with two assists.

The same number of assists, two, have come from the boots of Lamine Yamal, the youngest player in history to debut for the first team. The young winger, while still aiming for his first goal, has proven to be a game-changer in Barcelona’s offensive plays. His speed and self-confidence have been instrumental in the team’s victories so far this season.

Furthermore, it has been gratifying to witness the new signings quickly and effectively adapting to the team’s dynamics. Both Joao Félix and Cancelo, along with Oriol Romeu, have demonstrated a swift connection and understanding on the field, which is very promising for Barcelona’s future.

These early positive results are encouraging for the club’s supporters, who hope that the investment in new talents and coaches will pay off in the pursuit of titles. The promising start to the season has generated an atmosphere of optimism and expectation surrounding Barcelona, as they aim to reclaim their status as one of Europe’s top clubs.

It is notable how the arrival of these players has brought a sense of freshness and new options to the team’s style of play. Joao Félix’s creativity and skill, combined with Cancelo’s speed and precision in defense, have added a new dimension to Barcelona’s attack. Meanwhile, Oriol Romeu has proven to be a versatile midfielder capable of winning back balls and contributing to the offensive game.

The signing of Ilkay Gündogan has also been a wise move. His experience and quality in the midfield bring balance and vision to the team. Although he hasn’t been able to showcase his worth on the field due to physical discomfort, his presence is expected to be crucial in the development of the season.

In summary, Barcelona’s start to the season has been positive thanks to the performances of their new signings. The presence of Joao Félix, Cancelo, Oriol Romeu, and Gündogan has injected quality and freshness into the team. The results so far are promising and create positive expectations for the remainder of the season. With the continuation of this level of play and the development of chemistry among the players, Barcelona aspires to be a contender in all the competitions they participate in.
