A new season starts for the FC Barcelona this Saturday, but is not any one for a Barcelona group that is living a market of signings estival inigualable that has achieved that it return the illusion to the Spotify Camp Nou after several years in which the disappointments and tropiezos were the bread of each day. The history, at least of beginning, aims to be very different for the Barça in this course and the Ray Vallecano presents like the first proof of a team culé that has a lot for offering... And show.

The Madrilenian visit the Spotify Camp Nou this Saturday 13 August, from the 21:00 hours, with reason of the first day of LaLiga Santander 2022-2023. It supposes a party of a lot of requirement for the Barça, remembering that the past course were not able to win to the team trained by Andoni Iraola, neither with Ronald Koeman (1-0, in Vallecas) neither with Xavi Hernández (0-1) in the feudo barcelonista. The Catalans have an occasion for reinvindicarse and initiate the season with victory and, especially, good feelings.

In any case, of face to the crash is worth it to remember that the Barça has achieved to win in his debut in League in twelve of the last thirteen seasons (with a defeat), whereas the group of the capital of Spain has not premièred with triumph in the last four years, the two last with defeat. The Barcelona are accustomed to initiate the course with the right foot and proof of this is, for example, the goleada 4-2 in front of the Real Sociedad does almost a year to première adding three points in the championship.

The Barça arrives prepared

The Barça has left very good feelings in the party of preparation, with a balance of four victories and two ties in the parties of pre-season, in which the picture trained by Xavi Hernández confronted to teams of maximum quality like the Real Madrid or Juventus. The last crash, against Cougars (6-0) raised, completely, the illusion of the barcelonismo, that went viewers of a 'show' of the Barcelona starred in the first-half by Robert Lewandowski and Pedri González, those who played to his antojo and generated, between the two, three of the four goals in the first 45'.

Precisely the society that are forming the two is one of the points that more important can be for the Barça in this beginning of season. The big reading of game and capacity to combine of the of Tegueste will be the ingredient 'extra' so that Lewandowski can dominate the attack of the Barcelona. Hay Big expectations with both in the next months, place are two of the players called to lead the reconstruction of the Barcelona group in the next years.

The Polish forward has the focus of attention, in concrete, by the big quantity of goals that comes annotating by year. Without going further, in the 2021-2022 with the Bayern of Munich signed 50 targets to his name and finish being the Boot of Gold of Europe. Like curious data, Lewandowski annotated at least a goal in his first party of the season in the last seven years. In this period registered 10 goals (in seven parties) in the Bundesliga.

Doubts in the alignment?

Xavi Hernández would not have a lot of interrogantes regarding the alignment by which will bet against the Ray. It is predictable that the Barça will go out with a 4-3-3, although the trainer has glided before the possibility to play with three head offices, and that the protagonists are many of which already played against Cougars the past week. It fits to stand out that the club has achieved 'in extremis' the registration in League of all his signings and renewed, to exception of Jules Koundé, and the trainer egarense will be able to have all his staff for the crash.

In room of press, the ex of the To the-Sadd confessed in the previous of the crash that the team is prepared to confront to the Ray and litigate by LaLiga, although it is conscious that they are not the favourites to win it: "we Have done very good signings, but this has to show . It is necessary to win. Has to show in the field, with game and results. It will value us by the performance. Of here to say that we are the favourites to win... The favourites are the valid champions, are candidates".
