You have to love him like this...: the hot notes of the Barça-Racing

BarcelonaBarça overcame Racing de Santander (7-2) with a scandalous rout and continues to count all its matches as victories: six in six matchdays. Below, some quick thoughts:

Another great merit of Flick. The team, in the German's third season, continues to exhibit offensive exuberance and is on its way to becoming the best Barça under Flick. After a good transfer window and with Raphinha performing like an angel to solve the hot potato of the center-forward position, there is another crucial area in which the Catalan team also excels. It is the good atmosphere in the locker room. Here, there are two key factors: the core of homegrown players that make up the team and have been playing together for a long time -especially those from the 2007 generation: Lamine, Cubarsí, Bernal, Espart...- and the coach's good right hand: "He is very worried that there shouldn't be a toxic atmosphere", explained Adeyemi, regarding the management between starters and substitutes in an interview with ARA.

You have to love Cancelo like this. Surely there is no better attacking full-back than Cancelo. He scored two absolute screamers, the kind that make you rub your eyes when you see them live and are worth watching again on replay. The Portuguese player was starting for the second time this season and showed the best, but also the worst: he was very soft on Racing's first goal. As long as the team keeps scoring, his lukewarm defense will be forgiven. If it weren't for these shortcomings, Cancelo would be a legendary full-back. The one who still has it tough is Alejandro Balde. In the shadow of Espart and the Portuguese player, the academy full-back was able to play his first minutes of the season and the fans chanted his name.

Szczesny, thank you, but that's enough. Joan Garcia twisted his left ankle in a freak incident at the transition between the pitch grass and the surrounding surface and could not come out to play in the second half. It is nothing serious, but it bothered him and caution was chosen. Szczesny, Tek, returned to the scene. Surely in the conditions he least wanted, in the rain and unexpectedly. And his performance was quite unfortunate: he gifted a goal and did not look secure at all. He did Barça a great favor when he agreed to come when he was already retired, he is highly appreciated in the dressing room and has had good performances, but Joan's replacement must be Livakovic.

Racing, to the First Division. Beyond the resounding result, it is worth celebrating that historic teams like Racing have returned to the First Division. As well as Deportivo de la Coruña. Furthermore, illustrious footballers who are living a second youth serve in their ranks. In Racing's case, Sergio Canales, where he stood out before Madrid signed him and Barça also wanted to do so. In fact, in a recent interview on the YouTube channel El camino de Mario, he explained that the Catalan side had already wanted him for their youth academy. "I went with my parents to La Masia and I wanted to stay. I saw the facilities and I fell in love with them. But they had their life here (in Santander) and they said they couldn't mortgage everything". And, in the case of Dépor, an energized Aubameyang.
