Barcelona's impressive start to the season has seen them score 17 goals in their first four La Liga matches, with five more added in their recent 5-1 win over Feyenoord. Trainer Hansi Flick is pleased with his team's performance, but also believes there is room for improvement. "We work very hard and have a lot of quality on the ball," he said. "We play as a team and control the game. That's the style we want and I think the fans enjoy it."
Flick also praised his young players, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, who have been in excellent form this season. Raphinha has scored eight goals in five matches, while Yamal has scored one goal. Flick believes Yamal deserves the Ballon d'Or, saying "he is a special, great player. He deserves it, yes." Raphinha has also been impressed with Yamal's performance, saying "I know Lamine. I know when he's struggling. I tried to cheer him up and tell him he would score, so he wouldn't get out of the game. I'm very happy he scored. I'm sure he needed that goal."
Barcelona's next step is to continue their intense and high-quality training, with Flick saying "we need to look at what we can improve on."
