The two great weapons of Xavi's Barça to shine in Europe
After the disaster of the past course where the Group Phase was not passed, the Champions League returned to an excited Camp Nou. The new Barça of Xavi received the visit of the modest Victoria Pilsen and a real tribute was given.
The culé team won by a clear 5-1, developing a great game and returning the smile to a crowd that vibrated in the stands. Circumstance that did not occur in European territory for a long time.
On the field of play we were able to observe the stellar performance of several players, which warm up engines for what will be the great trial by fire: Bayern Munich on German soil.
But, of all of them, there were a couple of footballers who stood out above the rest and who have become the main weapons of a FC Barcelona that wants to recover the lost place in the old continent.
Dembele has been reborn
The Frenchman already finished the previous campaign in a sensational way. However, this start of the season has once again shown that he can be one of the brightest players in the world. Against Viktoria he did everything he wanted, he only lacked the icing on the goal.
After the shock is over, Xavi Hernández was full of praise and even compared him to the best Neymar:
“Está feliz, enjoying, happy, it's important to me, for the group… makes a difference, attend, brand, it is a dagger and it is in a good moment. I don't want to throw flowers, but the capacity he has in one on one is at the level of the best Neymar. He has to dare more to shoot on goal and score. He is a good boy and he has to take advantage of these characteristics. Está para marcar las diferencias y lo está haciendo”.
Lewandowski
The Polish striker is more than fulfilling the expectations created when his signing was discussed. In his debut with the Barcelona shirt in the Champions League he was the most decisive scoring a hat-trick.
already accumulates 8 goals in 5 matches dressed as a blaugrana, demonstrating that it was the key piece that the culés were missing to, truly, intimidate rivals.
robert is like that, is insatiable, how do you train, improve the team, aid, humility, how do you order, works, Pressure… I'm running out of praise because it's not just the hat trick. how it works, how he knows how to dominate the tempo of the match. In addition to making the difference with goals, It gives us many solutions in attack. If he is not the best, the two best will be with Benzema, is also Haaland. But, no comparison, it is at a level that is a spectacle. Un orgullo”, Xavi affirmed again.
