BARÇA'S WINNING AT G.SARAY IS IN THE SPANISH MEDIA
The Spanish and Catalan press made headlines about Barcelona's 4-1 victory against Galatasaray in Istanbul. Here are some of those headlines...
Marca: And Yamal said 'Enough'!
Ten official matches and ten wins. There can be no better number to describe the course of this Barcelona team, which started the season like a roller coaster. They scored 43 goals in these matches. It doesn't matter to them whether Raphinha, their best player on the pitch so far, is on the pitch or not; They can even afford the luxury of not having a traditional striker at forward, as is the case at Rams Park, because the goals are flowing like a flood. They struggled more than expected, falling 1-0 down at half-time, but Lamine's masterful performance in the first 20 minutes of the second half decided the match. Does this team have a limit? Having survived the hell in Istanbul, the team will face two very tough away matches against Betis and PSG before El Clásico, where their true potential will be tested. If they get through these matches successfully, we may be talking about a season that will be remembered for a long time.
