Dani Olmo returned to his usual position at Bar\u00e7a as an attacking midfielder and scored a brace against Alav\u00e9s (2-0). The Terrassa native played the full 90 minutes for the fourth time in 25\/26<\/h2> \r\n

FC Barcelona<\/strong> secured their fourth consecutive victory in LaLiga EA Sports<\/strong> on a perfect afternoon for Dani Olmo<\/strong>. Against Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> (3-1), the Terrassa native scored the two goals that sealed the Blaugrana comeback, a result that allowed Hansi Flick’s team to regain the lead<\/a>, pending what happens on Sunday in the Girona-Real Madrid match (9:00 PM CEST).<\/p>

Pablo Iba\u00f1ez<\/strong> put the visiting team ahead before the first minute of the match, but Lamine Yamal<\/a> equalized in the 8th minute. 18 minutes later, Olmo scored the second, taking advantage of a brilliant pass from Raphinha<\/a> from the left, after a long ball from Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/strong> to set up the Brazilian.<\/p>

Dani was close to sealing his brace in the 70th minute, but missed the target on a cross from the flank by Kound\u00e9<\/strong>. In the third minute of added time, the ’20’ finally sealed the score, beating Sivera in a one-on-one after a through ball from Lamine to cap off a lethal Bar\u00e7a counter-attack<\/p>

Olmo scores 3rd league goal and takes a step forward after Ferm\u00edn’s injury<\/h2>

For the 27-year-old player, the two goals against Alav\u00e9s allowed him to reach 3 in LaLiga 25\/26, where he also has a couple of assists in 12 appearances. Saturday’s was, barely, the fourth game of the season in which Olmo completed the 90 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>

In this regard, the midfielder seems to be regaining the confidence lost in recent months, where Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/strong> seems to have won his place in Flick’s XI. With the Huelva-born player out for the next two weeks due to a soleus injury, Dani seems to be taking another step forward to re-establish himself in the Bar\u00e7a lineup.<\/p>

So far, the Spanish international has played 16 of Bar\u00e7a’s 19 games this season. However, he only started in 8 matches<\/strong>, including the clash against the Vitoria team. Barring any surprises, he will repeat in the starting XI next Tuesday against Atl\u00e9tico, also at Camp Nou.<\/p>

On Saturday, in addition to his brace, he recovered 5 balls and created an equal number of scoring opportunities. He also **won 9 out of 15 individual duels (60%)** and, with the ball, had an 84% passing accuracy (43\/51)<\/p>

Flick, satisfied with Dani Olmo’s awakening<\/h2>

In the post-match press conference, Hansi Flick praised Dani Olmo’s performance, whom he considers a very talented player, although at times he lacks clarity in his decision-making on the field.<\/p>

“Sometimes, he wants more and to take that next step before the first. He also overthinks things, I’ve told him. I tell him to enjoy the game because he’s very good,” argued the Bar\u00e7a coach.<\/p>

Olmo, for his part, also praised Bar\u00e7a’s reaction despite being surprised by an early goal. “The team handled the situation very well, we stuck to our plan. I think we dominated and in the end we managed to win,” he told ‘DAZN’ at the end of the match.<\/p>

Regarding his performance and goal-scoring “baptism” at Spotify Camp Nou, he added: “Very happy with the two goals, it’s a dream come true to be able to play here, especially to score and help the team win<\/strong>“. With his brace against Alav\u00e9s, the Terrassa native has accumulated 15 goals and 9 assists in 55 games as a Culer.<\/p>
