How good is Raphinha for Barcelona?! what's up everyone and welcome back to the Gat show I mean I I can't stop laughing I can't stop smiling Barcelona this team at this very moment there is nothing wrong with saying that this team looks like they potentially could be or at least look like they are the best team in the world maybe second best next to City this is insane VI the lead not the best team but 7n in an almost 10 out of 10 performance with Barcelona four matches four wins going into the international break it is absolutely perfect for Barcelona so we got to talk about everything that's going right so far with Barcelona how they can withstand this momentum after the international break what we can expect from them we'll briefly touch on the vi the lead match players that stood out to us and then we're going to talk about the Champions League draw expectations for that and then some of these players when they could be returning from injury and what I guess we can expect from them moving forward again I'm sure you guys can notice my eyes all completely messed up I think I have a sty I'm not sure but it's completely swollen so I apologize from a Barcelona standpoint I'm so happy I'm so thrilled to make this video I hope you guys are excited to watch please comment your thoughts and opinions down below if you guys haven't already don't forget to like And subscribe and let's jump in and discuss Barcelona I mean this is insane I know they're not a great team VI the lead I mean Real Madrid beat them 3-0 and let's be honest Real Madrid it wasn't a convincing win it wasn't and one of their goals they scored was endrick and it was like a consolation goal with like two three minutes left in the match Barcelona they they just look so complete they just every time they get the ball in the Midfield it looks like they're creating an opportunity the Donnie almost signing if it if it continues like this and he's not injured it's going to be it's going to be arguably the best signing out of any team in the entire world it looks like a better signing than mbappe right now it looks like a better signing than some of these other big signings they are headed in such an incredible Direction and how much of this is attributed to flick I think it's almost all attributed to hanzi flick because I mean we knew knew that Chavi he kind of had the short end of the stick but he just didn't have the experience that flick has at the big stage with the big clubs and the big moments and it's basically the same team as last year plus Don Elmo right and then obviously cassado Bernal but this is insane and this match again it's not against the best team but the Rafia haters can we all agree that Rafia is proven he deserves to be on Barcelona he deserves to play and at this point I'm 110% behind Rafia starting as a left Winger and if they don't go out and sign one if this team is healthy they're completely fine Rafia is just the energy the runs he makes the chances he can create he had the great assist at the end of the match to Fon Torres the guy deserves man of the match I'm sure he's winning man of the match I don't know if he ended up winning it I'm sure he did I I can't hate on Rafia linal was absolutely world Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Dani Olmo is INSANE! class that one assist he had to levandowski was fantastic the other assist he had who was it to was it Donnie Elmo when he played that through ball I don't remember he had that other second assist too he like dribbled 30 yards up the pitch in the second half and then played that perfect pass I mean that was a messy pass insane he's cooking this season so far he's he has a goal or assist I think in every single match so far he had a couple opportunities I think there was a couple moments there was one situation in particular I think he could have actually shot maybe scored but he passed it instead him and Rafia 10 out of 10 performance edre was great couple great passes from pedri his control and linkup play with Donnie Elmo is literally like the best Midfield combination in the world like it's it's crazy how skilled they are in the chemistry that Dono has right now in one and a half matches played so far with Barcelona he just looks so comfortable and this isn't I I like mbappe I actually wanted to see him do well just you know Barcelona still does better than them but Louie has four goals in four matches Rafia I think has three goals now Donnie Elmo has three goals mbappe has zero in three matches in La Liga and again that could change in one match he could score two three goals but this is just crazy from an all-around standpoint I mean Bal was great in supporting in the attack the Midfield was great kabari played that perfect pass for the first goal to Rafia I mean it was a beautiful finish too this team is just so complete right now and and their attack is so fluid and quick and smooth and it's like they're keeping possession but they're also attacking and creating chances it's not this boring yep let's just keep the ball and you know we're going to play it back to to Stan we're going to dribble this way and that way and play it sideways we're attacking with a purpose which is what I wanted to see I would say it last year and the year before and they're doing it now and I I can't say anything else other than I am shocked with how well Barcelona looks them and City I I would think look the two best in the world right now and I don't think you can really say otherwise I mean Liverpool looks pretty good too but I mean Barcelona looks fantastic and again we'll have to wait and see if they can keep up this momentum in the consist see against some of these better teams I think they play jira next in La Liga obviously that's a tougher opponent than they just played in VI the lead heading into the international break you couldn't ask for anything better now the thing is with the international break it also could be good because Eric Garcia is already back I thought it was going Huge injury updates on Gavi and Frenkie de Jong! to be another few weeks Christensen maybe he can come back in a couple weeks now again we have to see if we can register him there are talks about Frankie dong the thing with Frankie that's frustrating is they're saying everything looks good but they're also saying we hope he doesn't need surgery so how can you not know if he needs surgery like it doesn't make sense because I feel like I think he's training but it's like if he needed surgery how would you not know this month's prior so it's like they're saying Frankie's close to being ready to play but he also might need surgery so make that make sense so again there could be a chance flick said that if he doesn't need surgery that he could be playing in a month less than a month Gabi could be back in four or five weeks I mean this team looks this good without Frankie Gabi or aruo let's just put that into perspective so there could be two or three players that are important players in the squad back in a month and a half and imagine how much better Barcelona's going to be that's more Squad depth and then heading into the Champions League that's even bigger so it's already looking good and it could start looking even better with Barcelona once these players start returning I mean imagine this team with Gabi and aruo and Frankie D young I don't know how much better they can look but it's going to be even better now last is the Champions League draw I'm happy with it FC Barcelona's revenge on Bayern Munich! I'm glad we're playing Bayern I want to play them I want to beat him we haven't beaten bayron in in years we get embarrassed by Bayern levandowski is going to want revenge Flick's going to want to win this team is playing at home I don't particularly think this is a stronger Bayern Squad again I think they're a very good team but in terms of the last like 10 years this is probably one of the weaker sides they've had leroyan he's kind of coming off a poor season NAB is always kind of injury-prone seems like he's a little inconsistent we'll see how Alis does I think their defense is a little shaky they got rid of mazeri they got rid of delict I don't think Kim and Jer UPA Mao were that consistent or honestly that great to be completely honest they have that right back I forgot his name but he's very fast but he's not the best defender obviously Harry Kane and muala is tough but Kane's not fast I think our defense can handle them and with the techical ability of Donnie ELO and pedri and if they're healthy I think they can control the Midfield and they can give a very very difficult time to that byon defense and I I mark marking my calendars that match in El Classico everyone's in the live stream and we can just enjoy the match and finally be the ones laughing at those teams instead of them laughing at us this this is barca's Revenge season revenge on Real Madrid revenge on Bayern Munich they're going to make a statement this year in the Champions League draw I think they can easily win four five of those matches and I think out of Dortmund and bayron you have to win one of them and I think out of Benfica and uh Atalanta you have to win one of them because they're going to be young boys I don't have it up right now but they should be able to at least win four matches draw the rest I mean there's stuff happens they'll probably lose one maybe two but with the way this team plays and if the team is back and completely healthy there's no reason why this Barcelona team can't five or six of those matches I think it's extremely doable so let me know what you guys are thinking right now where are your heads at how do you think the rest of the season can go I mean again it's such a long season there's so many matches to be played I don't want to jinx it but injuries could happen they probably will happen are we going to get gab and Frankie back could there be a surgery for Frankie and if they come back how long is it going to be until they're 100% can Barcelona actually beat Bayern can they beat Real Madrid so there's a lot of ifs ands or buts this is a perfect start to the season we have flick to thank for for so much of this that's happening and that's going well for Barcelona so let me know your thoughts about this down below if you guys have made it this far in the video thank you guys so much for watching I appreciate the continued support don't forget to join our live streams and our watch alongs that we've been doing for pretty much every single match and I hope to see you guys back here next time on the the G retro
