The 1-0 victory over Sevilla gave Xavi Hernández’s team a perfect record at the Estadi Olmpic Lluis Companys this season in all competitions: five games played, five victories. Five has proven to be the golden number for FC Barcelona so far this season. The blaugranes’ current residence in La Liga and the Champions is a true “fortress.”
The victories at Montjuc have occurred in a variety of ways, with Barça coming out on top in each match thanks to comebacks, displays of aggressive football, and displays of spirit.
Ferran and João and João
Barça defeated Cádiz 2-0 in a routine La Liga match in the blaugranes’ first official match of the year at the Estadi Olmpic. Pedri and Ferran Torres scored the goals. Ferran scored Barça’s first goal from a free kick in more than two years during the team’s 5-0 victory over Betis, also in La Liga. Newcomers Joo Félix and Joo Cancelo had their starting Xi debuts against the Andalusians as well, and both players reacted by netting their first goals for Barça in the triumph.
The first match of the Champions League group stage was against Antwerp of Belgium. In the 5-0 triumph, Lamine Yamal made history by becoming the youngest Barça player to ever compete for the team. Gavi also scored his first competition goal to cap off an outstanding individual performance.
The spotlight is on Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski, a Polish striker, scored against Antwerp and was a key component of Barça’s 3-2 comeback victory over Celta at the Estadio Olmpic. With only 10 minutes left in the game, the Galicians had a 2-0 lead before Lewandowski scored twice in four minutes to tie the score for the blaugranes. Barça’s home winning streak was preserved by Joo Cancelo’s late goal, which also completed an incredible comeback.
Fermn, a rising star, wins victory five
An own goal from seasoned Sergio Ramos gave Barça the La Liga victory over Sevilla on Friday at the Estadi Olmpic. The former Real Madrid defender turned Lamine Yamal’s header past his own goalkeeper in a match where another youngster, Fermin Lopez, stood out after replacing the injured Raphinha in the first half. Currently, five out of five, with the upcoming battle at home on Sunday, October 22, when Athletic Club visits.
