“The are jubilating as if the Won the La Liga and Thier FLOP Striker want to Challenge me with Mistake Goal- Barcelona Manager United Hansi Flick says football less enjoyable after Real Sociedad Side Won after disallowing Robert Lewandoski goal.
Barcelona’s lopsided 1-0 loss against Real Sociedad was their second league loss of the season. One possible explanation for such loss is a lack of depth in the squad.
A few hours prior to the game, Lamine Yamal’s verified injury raised alarms.
Instead, Hansi Flick suggested starting Fermin Lopez on the right flank. However, that turned out to be the wrong strategy as Sociedad dominated Jules Kounde, who was frequently left alone as Fermin demonstrated that he lacked the innate ability of a winger to assist his full-back.
We can see that a minor change to Barca’s starting lineup may be the difference between a 5-0 victory and a loss. For a title contender, it is not good.
No broad danger, no Lamine?
Lamine did not start either of Barca’s two La Liga defeats this season. Why is that?
Without Lamine or Raphinha, Barca cannot be a significant danger on either the left or right wing. By drawing defenders to himself, Lamine makes room for Lewandowski, Raphinha, or a no. 10 to run into.
As seen against Villareal (for Raphinha) and Espanyol (for Olmo), Lamine is also capable of coming up with strange trivela assists. Lamine has six goals this season and is a real goal threat in addition to his assists.

Regarding Raphinha, we can say the same thing. Despite the Brazilian’s poor performance against Sociedad, Barca will suffer greatly without him since they lack a winger who can push, track back, score, and assist goals as well, except from Lamine, of course.
