Hansi Flick’s initial success at Barcelona took a hit in September.
After a strong start to the season with five consecutive wins, Barcelona faced defeat in the Champions League against Monaco. They also lost their main goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, to a long-term injury, followed by a disappointing loss to Osasuna, conceding four goals to end the month.
Despite these setbacks, Barcelona managed to lead La Liga going into the October break. Based on a poll of over 20,000 Barcelona fans in 90min’s dedicated WhatsApp channel, here are the standout players from the past month.
Raphinha has impressed at Barcelona, scoring five goals in La Liga so far, including a brace against Villarreal in September.
Playing in a more central role under Flick’s guidance, Raphinha has adapted well to the team’s style and tactics. His work rate and intensity have made him a key player for Barcelona, earning praise from fans and the coach.
On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski has found success by focusing on scoring goals rather than pressing high like his teammates.
Lewandowski’s ability to find space and finish chances has been crucial for Barcelona, allowing him to thrive in the attacking third without the defensive responsibilities.
Previously living near Barcelona’s dressing room, Lamine Yamal has quickly risen through the ranks at just 17 years old.
Yamal’s skill and flair on the field have impressed fans and pundits alike, with his creativity and talent shining in every game he plays.
Whether it’s his dribbling, shooting, or playmaking abilities, Yamal continues to amaze spectators and earn recognition as one of Barcelona’s rising stars.
However, injuries could pose a threat to Yamal’s promising career, as he has already faced setbacks that forced him to return early from international duty.
