Sept 26, V7N -Barcelona have started their LaLiga season impressively with seven consecutive wins, but manager Hansi Flick still sees areas for improvement, as shown in their 1-0 victory over Getafe. Despite dominating the game with 80% possession and 16 attempts on goal, Barcelona only managed to secure a narrow win through an early Robert Lewandowski goal. Flick emphasized that while the winning streak is "perfect," there is still work to be done to improve aspects of their game, particularly finishing off opportunities.
Barcelona sit at the top of the LaLiga standings with 21 points, four points clear of rivals Real Madrid. Flick acknowledged the resilience of Getafe’s defense but expressed pride in his players for their determination throughout the match.
Flick also praised stand-in goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, who filled in for the injured Marc-André ter Stegen, and avoided commenting on rumors linking Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny to Barcelona. Ter Stegen is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery, and reports suggest Szczęsny could be brought in to provide experience. However, Flick reiterated his confidence in Peña, Barcelona's current number one, stating that he is satisfied with the young goalkeeper's performance.
