It's not just Real Madrid who will kill it! How much stronger has Barça become with the Portuguese twin?

With Felix and Joao Cancelo in the final minute of the summer window, Barca are arguably winners in the transfer market. Although it will take time for the new signings to join the team, the successful appearance of all the newcomers against Osasuna is also a milestone this season.

Lewandowski created a late-minute penalty to help Barca beat their opponents and continue their winning momentum. The debuts of Cancelo and Felix also have many highlights, and perhaps Barca will get better and better in the future.

01. Felix played hard: his movement helped Barca

a. Felix's selection: Still very smart

Felix came on in the 80th minute of the game and played almost 20 minutes including injury time.

Because Barca quickly won the penalty and the opponent received a red card, the space for the subsequent game was enlarged, and Felix was able to create more highlights on the move. He has a good sense of position selection and his use of space is commendable.

Especially this time on the counter-attack, Felix used Lewandowski to attract central defenders in the middle, and he ran at the back of the weak side on the left side, which was a very good opportunity.

Felix had more than 3 passes like this, but Gundogan missed at least 2 passes (and another time was Felix, who was vacant after a lateral shift, but went straight out of bounds).

It can be seen that the one who retreated to the center circle of the side and reached for the ball was Felix, and when Gundogan got the ball, Felix stepped forward at high speed and just happened to throw off the opposing midfielder.

Unfortunately, Gundogan's passing quality was a bit low, and he could not take advantage of the lack of personnel here after the opponent's central defender was sent off, allowing the returning Osasuna midfielder Moncayola to break the ball.

b. Felix plays hard: it feels average under his feet

Felix played very aggressively because he only needed to play 20 minutes, he had a physical advantage, and he had a lot of range and frequency of his fights.

Try 5 one-on-one confrontations in 20 minutes, an example. However, in terms of the feeling under the feet, it is still slightly worse. Coupled with insufficient rapport with teammates, some opportunities were wasted.

Barca's winning goal, although Felix did not have the ball involved, but he suddenly turned over in the center circle, still disrupted Osasuna's defensive position, and also gave De Jong more space to pass and handle.

Because Felix cut forward early, there was a pause in the opposing midfield, which also made De Jong's front open. The overshoot landed well, and Lewandowski stepped forward, leaving Felix, who was originally in an offside position, a front.

The opposing defender was a little distracted, reacted and wanted to make a move, but he was fouled. Experienced Lewandowski went down to win a penalty while creating a red card to also secure a 2-1 victory.

After 11 to 10, Felix's threat became much greater. With more space, his runs and passes are good.

This time, he went straight to Rafinha, who went directly into the box, but unfortunately the inverted triangle cross was blocked out of the bottom line.

02. Cancelo's technique and attack: Very helpful for Barca

a. Cancelo shows technical superiority

Compared to Felix who relies more on hard work to help the team, Cancelo shows a great technical advantage.

13 successful 14 passes, and a wonderful pass (unfortunately offside). The only flaw is in defense, a bit the feet and head. Especially when the opponent plays high, Cancelo is a little unable to find the defender and his accurate position.

The signature adduction midfield, Cancelo's technique is very good, so it is enough to temporarily take on the role of a central midfielder at Barca.

Ferran Torres went to the wing, which also gave the attack a better position and layering. At the same time, Cancelo's passes are of high quality and can attack directly.

Also this time, after Cancelo picked up the ball in the corner of the box, he sent a wonderful pass with the outside instep that almost helped Lewandowski complete the goal.

Lewandowski didn't feel good in front of goal, and this time his shot was saved by the goalkeeper. However, Cancelo was also offside when he received the ball, so this time the attack was blown invalid.

Not just once, Cancelo also had a good over-the-top ball into the box to find De Jong. However, when in the position, the referee blew De Jong for a foul.

b. Cancelo's defense: Not good

Barça fans will definitely love Cancelo, his style is very much in line with the traditions and characteristics of the team.

After the game, the young fans rushed into the stadium to ask for their shirts, which is also a good illustration of this.

Garvey caused the opponent to fall to the ground in this confrontation, and the source was Cancelo's header in the free-kick defense. In this area, Cancelo had several suboptimal headers.

Of course, this is also related to the opponent's center Bukimir. At the same time, Osasuna's style is also relatively tough, which is not common in La Liga.

03. Barça's defense is embarrassing: Inigo Martinez made a big mistake in his debut

Compared with the performance of the two Portuguese stars, the debut of Spanish central defender Inigo Martinez was more embarrassing. He played more than 10 minutes after coming off the bench, but there were a lot of slots.

Throughout the second half, Barca had just one shot on goal, compared to six opponents. If it weren't for the inefficiency of Osasuna players (except for Avila's world wave), Barca would really be in trouble.

When Barca conceded the ball, Balder, Romeu and Conde happened to be on the line of three, and neither of them really interfered with Avila, but blocked the view of goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

The biggest problem is Romeu, he did not move in time, and Conde behind him, as a central defender, is naturally unlikely to easily step forward, just watch the opponent hit the world wave.

After Bukimir's appearance, Osasuna was much more offensively threatening. This time, Felix made a mistake in front of the ball and was broken, and then the opponent counterattacked, directly looking for Bukimir with a long pass, and the disadvantage of Barca's central defender was still obvious.

The biggest slot came from a defense in injury time. Inigor Martinez couldn't keep up with the opponent's start when defending Bukimir against the opposition.

He had a more pronounced blocker behind his back, but experienced Martinez then quickly let go so that the referee didn't blow the penalty immediately.

VAR suggests a foul, but according to the replay, it can be seen that although it is a foul, it is outside the box. According to the rules, non-penalty kicks and non-red cards cannot trigger VAR retroactivity, allowing Barca to escape.

Conclusion:

After all, this game is the debut of a number of new signings, and to finish with a victory is the best result against Barca. After all, Lewandowski's shooting efficiency has been a bit low lately, which has caused a lot of problems.

After Felix and Cancelo are integrated into the team, I believe that Barca will have more changes, and the problem of unsightly scenes will gradually ease.
