Dafter three games in USAit can be said that the right wing is, today, the greatest strength and, at the same time, the greatest weakness of this Barcelona. That’s where most of the danger comes from, but it’s also where they do the most damage.
In the first two games, Raphinha presented credentials and candidacy for the starting role in this team, but in Dallas I took the floor Ousmane Dembl. The Frenchman, who had been disconnected in the first matches, marveled at his performance against the Juventus.
This was Dembl’s spectacular double
The mosquito He scored two house-brand goals. One of those in which he enters from the side wriggling and leaving rivals shattered. With him and Raphinha, the azulgranas have the right to dream.
The problem is that this dream can turn into a nightmare if the laterals are not fixed. For the club it is a priority and in the Cotton Bowl it is clear why. Xavi prob con Sergio Robert in band and the result was disastrous. He was replaced after half an hour of meeting and gave arguments to those who do not see his renewal clearly. The coach should keep his idea of having him as a center back and delete him from the full-back list once and for all.
Lewandowski y Aubameyang
In his second performance as which, Robert Lewandowski I suffered again. It’s hard for the Pole to get into the game. This time it could be because he did not have the most creative interiors in the field (Pedri, Gavi, and De Jong they started on the bench). At this stage, it is normal to think that this is part of the process. Just in case, I left a little header to say “here I am”.
Xavi he put the Pole as the battering ram and tried with Aubameyang in band. The former Arsenal player wasn’t comfortable there either.
After the break, the game was a parade of changes. Xavi did not miss his word when he said that he was going to rotate massively so as not to melt his players. Raphinha and Ansu Fati sent two shots to the post.
Millimeter precision! Raphinha and Ansu Fati, two crosses in 10 seconds

The shock also served to see how one of the greats of Europa at this point in the preseason. On a physical level, not much difference was noticed between one team and another. What is clear is that Angel Di Mara going to make war The Argentine, who was in the orbit of the Only This summer, he was the one who took the most advantage of the Catalans’ problem on the side. ly Keanof course, author of the many.
As, el Barcelona He is already facing his last stop on the American tour. He leaves for New Jersey, where he faces the NY Red Bulls. An opponent who should put up much less resistance than the Old lady.
