"Barça" scored 7 goals, "MU" victim of a comeback. Matches of the day
Spain: "Barcelona" does not know what stopping is
"Barcelona" – "Racing" 7:2
João Cancelo, 8 (1:0). Raphinha, 25 – penalty (2:0). Gueye, 30 (2:1). Villalibre, 36 – own goal (3:1). Raphinha, 42 (4:1). Zabiri, 65 (4:2). Raphinha, 67 – penalty (5:2). Gabriel Jesus, 79 (6:2). Yamal, 89 (7:2)
"Barcelona" knows no limits this season. The team is winning all matches in La Liga, simply crushing its opponents. This time, the debutant "Racing", which stood in the Catalans' way, conceded 7 goals. Yet, this team had started the season well, collecting 7 points in five rounds.
Flick is not planning to rest the main leaders for now. Only in the defensive line were Cubarsí, Koundé, and Espart given a rest, but in attack, players like Yamal, Raphinha, Olmo, and Adeyemi continued to take the field. Raphinha scored 3 goals and became the clear leader in the top scorers' race with 9 goals, having a 9+3 record in the goal+assist system (a total of 11 goals including goals in the UCL). Yamal, by scoring a brace, could have risen to the second place behind him with 8 goals, but failed to convert a penalty (he has 7+5). Gabriel Jesus, purchased from "Arsenal" at the end of the summer transfers, also managed to open his goal tally in La Liga on this day.
In general, "Barcelona" is currently the highest-scoring team in Europe this season: in 7 matches (6 in La Liga, 1 in UCL) they scored 33 goals and conceded 6 goals. In five of these matches, at least 5 goals were scored.
At the same time, the team has not yet been tested by a serious opponent, and in the next round, they will travel to "Sevilla".
"Atletico" – "Osasuna" 4:0
