Barcelona have had a dream start to the season under their new manager Hansi Flick as they claimed their third win in three games in La Liga which puts them at the top of the table by 2 points. The star of the game against Vallecano turned out to be new signing Dani Olmo who came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal for Barcelona in the 82nd minute to help Barcelona win the game after the two teams were tied with a score of 1-1. This came after Barcelona were finally able to register Olmo as a player after failing to do so in the last two games.
Marc Bernal, 17, was also injured during the match and had to be taken off the field.

“That’s why [Dani Olmo] “The team is in our team. The first few minutes were not good for us, we didn’t press well, we couldn’t make combinations, but in the second half the team and Dani played a great game. When you look at the results of the last few years we expected a difficult game, but tonight we managed to win.

“It’s a sad victory because Marc Bernal is injured and it doesn’t look good. We have to wait and see how serious it is. We won, it’s good, but when you look at the dressing room nobody is happy.
