Barcelona beat Galatasaray 4-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night to maintain their perfect start to the new season.
It was another impressive match by Hansi Flick’s side and one in which the manager raised a few eyebrows with his starting XI.
The Spain star started Dani Olmo as a false nine, explaining before kick off that he thought his World Cup winner could help his team control the match.
“From all the games we have looked at before, we know that they are going to put pressure on us; we have to control
them with the ball,” he told Movistar.
“That’s why I’ve put Dani as a ‘9’, he can also control the ball, that’s what it’s all about. We also have to manage the load of minutes, since the next game is on Saturday; it must be managed.”
Barca scored four times in the match, and could have had a few more, but Olmo couldn’t find the back of the net despite having some good chances.
So today’s Barca Blaugranes Question of the Day is:
