"As per Mundo Deportivo, even though the team is at the top of the league standings, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick wants more from his stars and is not entirely satisfied with what he has been seeing from his team. The German tactician made it clear after the 3-1 win over Alaves that last season he saw control and intensity that are now missing, and he wants more solidity with the return of vital players after injury."
"The gradual return of important footballers to the starting eleven is a key element in improving the team's play. Raphinha created two goals against Alaves, Joan Garcia's return to goal brings security, as he showed on Saturday, and Pedri offered half an hour of pure quality after a month out. Dani Olmo scored twice, and Lamine Yamal added a goal and an assist while remaining a constant threat. All of this will help lift the team's confidence."
Barcelona moved to the top of the La Liga table after a 3-1 win over Deportivo Alaves and finished the matchday one point ahead of Real Madrid. Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Girona, their third consecutive La Liga draw, preventing them from reclaiming first place. Hansi Flick is not entirely satisfied and demands more control, intensity, and defensive solidity as key players recover from injury. Gradual returns are boosting the squad: Raphinha created two goals, Joan Garcia returned in goal, Pedri offered 30 minutes of quality, Dani Olmo scored twice, and Lamine Yamal had a goal and an assist. Barcelona must win a major match after defeats to PSG, Real Madrid, and Chelsea, and the upcoming Camp Nou clash with Atletico, who have seven straight wins and sit three points behind, is strategically crucial.
