Mundo Deportivo: Barcelona score 17 goals in four rounds, with no regrets over failing to sign Alvarez

Barcelona had previously won the La Liga title for two consecutive seasons. Mundo Deportivo believes that the sporting management led by Deco built a strong squad for Flick during the summer transfer window, and the German coach has further improved the team's performances.

Mundo Deportivo pointed out that Barcelona scored five goals in a single match for the third time this season at Mestalla Stadium. The team has scored 17 goals in four rounds, and the doubts caused by Lewandowski and Ferran Torres leaving as well as the failure to sign Julian Alvarez have faded.

Barcelona may try to sign Julian Alvarez again in the future, as the forward remains unhappy with his situation at Atletico Madrid. However, no one at Barcelona currently regrets failing to sign him.

Mundo Deportivo pointed out that Flick has used Raphinha as a 'false nine', and the player has performed well in this role. Raphinha has scored six goals and currently leads the league scoring chart; Fermin Lopez and Yamal have each scored four goals.

Fermin Lopez missed the World Cup previously due to injury and went through a difficult summer, but he has started the new season in excellent form. Yamal scored his first two goals of the season against Rayo Vallecano last Monday and then scored twice at Mestalla.

Barcelona are currently the only La Liga team to have collected all 12 points, leading Real Madrid by three points, while Atletico Madrid have already dropped five points. Real Madrid lost to Real Betis under Mourinho, while Atletico Madrid dropped points against Villarreal and Athletic Club.

Atletico Madrid stated that the club did not want to sell Julian Alvarez to Barcelona in order to avoid strengthening a direct competitor. However, after four rounds, Atletico Madrid are already behind Barcelona.
