Everything is going well in this Hansi Flick's Barça, which has kicked off the season like thunder. A thrashing (5-2) against Rayo Vallecano and three unassailable victories in three League matches. The rivals end up as broken toys in the hands of the blaugrana steamroller. No player has a full stomach, everyone puts on their work overalls and, hungry and united, they turn Barça into a marvelous combination of talent and effort that makes a very excited fan base happy, even though this has only just begun. Even Lamine Yamal, who had made some grimaces in the last two matches, showed a beaming smile after scoring a great goal and having a great performance at the Camp Nou. The stadium sings and dances, proud of a squad that has been reinforced with new faces like an Anthony Gordon who has landed on his feet, a Rodri who is gradually picking up pace, and old acquaintances who want to be loved again like Andreas Christensen. Also from youth academy players, like a Xavi Espart who seems to have been playing with the first team for half his life.

Solid victory for Barça in the second league match. The Blaugranas got rid of a very defensive Athletic Club with two goals from Raphinha and Fermín. Unai Simón prevented a rout. Next, some quick notes.

In life, one must have a well-defined personality and defend it. Know who you are. And Barça seems to know it on the pitch and also in the stands. With a backdrop in the form of full of estelades stands in which at times it seemed we had returned to 2017, Hansi Flick's third project is increasing the optimism of the blaugranas, adding points and raising the game. Yesterday he defeated a good Athletic Club 2-0 who sold their skin dearly, and he has already won six out of six. The new players give their all, Rodrigo already wears blaugrana when people recently imagined he would wear white and the youngsters from La Masia are asking to play.

Spectacular thrashing for Barça to open the League (0-5). Next, some immediate thoughts.

Without a center forward, but with an inspired Raphinha and a Fermín who can do anything. Without Balde, whom the club is pushing towards the exit, nor Cancelo, who has just arrived, but with a colossal Espart. Without Rodri, but with a Bernal who ensures the present and, above all, the future. Without many new faces in the starting eleven, but with an Adeyemi willing to show Hansi Flick that he did well by signing him. As Gordon would later do, author of two assists coming off the bench. With all these ingredients, Barça started the championship in a very encouraging way (0-5) against an Elche that did not manage to trouble the Catalan team at any moment. Only Gavi's injury, who left the field before the break touching his right knee which has bothered him so much in the last two seasons, marred an efficient victory.

Barça closes a perfect home season with a new victory. The azulgranas beat Betis on the day that Robert Lewandowski said goodbye to the azulgrana fans after four seasons. Here are some immediate thoughts.

Barça fell in Vitoria in the first of the three formalities left in the League (1-0). Hansi Flick presented a team rich in rotations. Next, some quick notes.

Barça culminated a historic night to remember. The 2-0 victory allows the azulgranas to conquer the 29th League in their history, the second consecutive one since Hansi Flick's arrival at the bench. The Camp Nou experienced a night full of joy in what was a party from the first moment. Rashford and Ferran Torres put the 2-0 just after the start of the match against a Real Madrid that closed a week to forget —with internal fights included— seeing how the eternal rival won (and lifted) the League right in front of their noses.

The most anticipated match of the season arrives at Camp Nou. Barça hosts Real Madrid in what could be a celebration for Barcelonism. After the surreal week experienced in Valdebebas — with the fight between Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde — Hansi Flick's team can deliver the decisive blow on Sunday from 9 p.m. If the blaugranas do not lose, they will be mathematically crowned league champions with three matchdays still to play.

Champions. Barça put the finishing touch on the League in a match with a crazy ending at El Sadar (1-2) where everything that hadn't happened until then, happened. After 80 minutes in which the duel between the azulgranas and Osasuna had been quite soporific, everything accelerated thanks to the goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. The two azulgrana strikers, questioned throughout the season, scored the goals that, if Real Madrid doesn't win at the RCDE Stadium today, will seal the League for Barça. When the title was already being celebrated on the Catalan bench, Raúl García, narrowing the gap, added spice to the end of the match in which the azulgranas defended the score with tooth and nail to feel virtually like winners of the championship that rewards the best team.

Hard-fought victory for Barça that could be worth a League (0-2). Fermín and Rashford resolve the paperwork in a well-contested clash in Getafe. Below, some immediate thoughts.

Just past the 40th minute of the league match between Barça and Celta this Wednesday, and almost simultaneously with the moment Lamine Yamal fell to the ground injured after scoring the only goal of the match, a Barça fan suffered cardiac arrest that chilled the atmosphere at the Camp Nou. A 56-year-old supporter collapsed in the stadium's side area. The match was interrupted to attend to the affected person, as per protocol in such cases.

Three golden points for Barça in a match marked by Lamine Yamal's injury and a first half that lasted 67 minutes (1-0). La Liga, closer. Next, some immediate thoughts.

"The extraordinary thing is that it seems normal." With this slogan, Barça celebrated the men's league in the 2018-19 season. The team then led by Ernesto Valverde had just won their eighth league title in eleven seasons. At that time, the first women's team only had four league titles to their name. Since then, the blaugranes have been crowned champions of the domestic competition in the next seven seasons and now have eleven league titles. The latest one, this Wednesday after beating Espanyol 1-4 away. With more than ten points ahead of Real Madrid and with four matchdays left to finish the competition, Barça already has the second trophy of the season in their trophy cabinet, after the Spanish Super Cup.

"The extraordinary thing is that it seems normal." With this motto, Barça celebrated the men's league in the 2018-19 season. The team then led by Ernesto Valverde had just won their eighth league title in eleven seasons. At that time, the first women's team only had four league titles to their name. Since then, the Blaugranas have been crowned champions of the state competition every season and now have eleven league titles. The last one, this Wednesday after winning 1-4 on Espanyol's ground. With more than ten points clear of Real Madrid, and with four matchdays left to finish the competition, Barça already has the second trophy of the season in their trophy cabinet, after the Spanish Super Cup.

A little more than two weeks before the classic, Barça takes for granted that it will have to seal a league title that cannot escape it in any way without its great star. We will have to wait for the tests that Lamine Yamal will undergo this Thursday, but with barely a month left until the end of the competition and with a World Cup just around the corner, the feelings at the end of the match against Celta did not invite optimism. With a penalty goal, just before suffering an injury to his left leg and the stadium freezing over because a fan suffered cardiac arrest, the Rocafonda winger did what will probably be his last service of the season for Barça. The victory (1-0) against Celta dyes the League a little more blaugrana on a complicated night at Camp Nou.

Barça has La Liga within their grasp. In a very tough match against Atlético de Madrid, the Barcelona players secured three golden points that extend their lead over Real Madrid to seven in the standings with eight matchdays remaining. Here are some immediate thoughts.

Barça can now start putting the bottles in the fridge to have them nice and cold for when it's time to celebrate. The first episode of the trilogy of duels against Atlético de Madrid served to hit the waterline of two Madrid teams at once. Lewandowski's saving goal sinks Real Madrid in the standings and, incidentally, harms an Atlético that has already understood that Barça wants to win everything just before the Champions League duel. The Whites look up and find it hard to see an indomitable Barça that knew how to react before halftime, when it seemed they could also lose. The competitive gene of this team is beyond debate. A team that faces challenges and overcomes them. It seems there is nothing to scare a team destined to win the League after winning a match that, at times, seemed like it would end in a draw in a second half where there was no energy left in the players' legs.

Barça's hard-fought victory against Rayo Vallecano (1-0). The Catalans have made the most of Ronald Araujo's goal. In the first half, Joan Garcia had an inspired performance, preventing four certain goals from Iñigo Pérez's team. Here are some immediate observations.

Lamine Yamal is in a celebratory mood. Three moments of brilliance from him secured a victory against Villarreal, the third-placed team in La Liga, just before facing their most difficult task: overturning a Copa del Rey tie against Atlético de Madrid that seems lost. A utopian challenge, if you stop to think about it. But when Lamine Yamal smiles like he did against Villarreal, anything can happen. And if you add Pedri's magic, it's perfectly understandable to have a license to dream. Football isn't an exact science, but if you combine Lamine's brilliance with the Canary Islander's delightful play, the result is usually good news for Barça.
