We Are Too Quick To Judge Barcelona, The Proof Is Blaugrana Started The Season Better Than Last Year With Messi
JAKARTA - The doom and gloom that has enveloped Barcelona in recent weeks is slowly over. Ronald Koeman's men won 3-0 over Levante in La Liga on Sunday night.
In the first five matches, the Blaugrana appeared less convincing and put Koeman on the edge.
In fact, going into their sixth game, Barca is now off to a better start in La Liga than last season, when they had Lionel Messi.
Barcelona has collected 12 points from their opening six games, while last season they had eight points with the same number of games.
It's also the same story in terms of goals. This season Memphis Depay et al scored 11 goals, while last season at the same point only 10 goals.
One aspect that has decreased slightly is defense. Koeman's team has conceded six goals this season, one more than last season.
