Two great wins, two clean sheets, two tough opponents, and seven goals. Barcelona have come flying out of the gate under Ronald Koeman, winning six points against two traditionally tricky opponents, Villarreal and Celta Vigo.
Ansu Fati has been deadly in front of goal while Lionel Messi has been inspiring, but in truth the whole team looks much more in tune and comfortable. Even going down a man against Celta, away in the rain, didn’t seem to trouble Koeman’s men too much.
Philippe Coutinho has flourished since returning from Bayern Munich, where his stock had actually dropped.
