We hear the fans singing the infamous football club Barcelona anthem. And as you mentioned earlier, we saw Pedro Rodriguez, the former Barca player, a part of that wonderful era under Puardo's recently announced his retirement and is back here today and he'll be doing the honorary kickoff. So before that, we can have a look at the BA starting 11. Dangier who is back. He was not away on international duty, but he is fit enough to start this game. Chavia Spar who's just extended his contract at the club. Jar Martin, Eric and Kunden the defense, Rodrigo, Danny Almo and Gabby in midfield. Anthony Gordon, Laminal and Gabriel also big opportunity for the Brazilian up front guys but also for Gabby who who doesn't get much playing time today starting in the midfield lineup sorry with David Sia as always in goal. It's the usual fiveman defense. Kiko Feminia Jan Goodel Z Romero and Moika in front of them. Mario Martine and Francho Sereno Andres Garcia and Ramont on the flanks and up front. What looks like it's going to be a very lonely battle today for Ivan Aon as we see Rafina receiving the award for the best player in September. And the best goal scored in the month of September. They're leaving no one with any trophies looks this season. Football Cup Barcelona. They're taking absolutely everything. So for audience will know the one of the most fierest uh deries in football world which I had the privilege to play and that's for another for another story for another time. >> Well we are underway here at the Spotify cab getting the ball into the final third. Not only that they're going to get the ball into the penalty area and it drops to Jan Garia. Well, it's going to be a busy afternoon or evening you'd anticipate for David Sia, one of the best shots stoppers in La Liga. So, he'll need to be at his very best today. And he'll be in the way of heavy traffic already. It's Anthony Gordon getting onto the edge of the box looking to fire up a shot from Anthony Gordon. And it finds its way through with a bit of help from the defense. A deflection. And it's just one and a half minutes on the clock at the Spotify camp though. And it's the worst possible start for Kafi already after the international break. No suggestion of Barca having their foot off the ball. It's Barca one nil. Well, I was just saying it was is obviously the worst the worst start for the best start for Barca. We already saw the defense being very deep, very on the edge of their box. I think they was saying trying to get out those balls but again they find so many players inside Jan and Lakio there and again all the rebounds going in favor of Gordon that he chased that ball. It was he had believe not McD there but again this final shot deflection obviously leaves no chance to Dis to save that goal and uh well is the first goal Gordon has scored in the season. They started very well with a lot of four assist I think it is in the first goal of the season probably in the um in a way that now Anthony Gordon turn of pace from the Englishman who now looks up to find Gav who's got a bit of space inside the penalty area falls to Leine and it set up nicely for him and he sliced it high over David Sodia's goal almost another assist France Gordon. A wonderful ball whipped in. Not sure he even brushed that ball. Oh yeah. I'm not sure. Rod finds himself sometimes in in areas in spaces where he needs to take the risk and doesn't lose it. >> Here he is again. Eric's going to think about the shot. Had some venom on it. almost yanked back the hand of David Surya. >> Yeah, the ball makes up like a funny movement there and Dana's given it straight to Lamine will try and get there. That's a brilliant block from Nemana Goodell. That was going straight into the bottom corner. >> I think we'll go for the first touch. cross. It's a wonderful flick on header into the hands of Leia. For a moment there, it looked like it was >> Yeah, the angle looked like the top corner. >> Well, this could be a chance now. Dat >> Ivan. Drop of the shoulder from Ivan. At the very least, an attempt on target from his first touch let him down a little bit. He had the advantage with the body. Gabri defending which was also an advantage, but Anthony Gordon quick feet, quick combination actually breaking down with Rodri, but how quickly they win it back again. Shavei Espar joining the attack this time. Danny Almo trying to apply the pressure. Zed Romero giving it away. Careless. Gabrio Jesus has scored. Well, when opportunities to start are scarce, you better make the most of them. And that's what Gabrielle Jesus has just done. I'm just going to dribble my way out of trouble. Clear it. Clear it. Clear it. Clear it. CLEAR IT. CLEAR IT. OKAY, DON'T. Just do that. That seems like a fun thing to do. and then get yourself back in a position where you can go defend if you're S Romero given the fact that you turn the ball over and you think he does that. No, he sure doesn't. He stops defending. Goodelli slay. Gabriel Jesus finds a space. David Sia leaning towards his left cannot come back to his right. Two nothing Barcelona. Gabrielle Jesus in his first start with his second La Liga goal from club Bruge in Belgium. >> I thought you were going to go with Club Buga. >> Well, you can you can use that version too. >> You know this is a judgment free zone. I'm just I was expecting Buger. >> Well, I like to keep you on your toes, Ellie. I hear you. >> Shabby Espart winning that back and then Gabrielle Jesus having the rug pulled from underneath him and a booking Feminina is a former Barcelona youth team player. His core argument is it's my first foul, which it may very well be, but Gabrielle Jus is now going towards goal in a dangerous position. You Daniel, you dangle your leg in the manner in which he did there. It impedes the progress of Gabrielle Jesus. It denies uh an attacking opportunity for Barcelona. I think it's a good call from Jesu Mansano. Kikovia, regardless of whether it's your first foul, it's worthy of a yellow card. We questioned would they pick up where they left off and they didn't take long to answer that question. Less than 90 seconds in fact. Kundai trying to get the wrong side of Moa who wasn't about to let him but he's going to pick up a yellow card for his troubles. >> Got himself in a bad position but Jules Kundai. Yeah, it's a little give and go action, but you need this little bit of magic from Laameya Malin in order for Johan Moika to be out of position once he got himself behind Jules Kundai decides that nah, I'm not going to be able to cut out the danger. I'm going to take the foul. And now an opportunity from Barcelona coming from a wide area. Danny Almo delivers and good climb to meet it by Jules Kundai. Well, they have taken it short just to make sure there was time. And the shot might be on here. It's deflected. And just a couple of awkward moments for the Barcelona defense right as they were waiting for the halime whistle, but no damage done. wanted the first half to be extended. All >> now they want a corner. >> Now they want to stay on the attack. It took him 49 minutes to go on the attack. Now they want to stay on the attack. >> So you're saying there's a chance. >> It's not a 0.0% chance. It's >> slightly higher than that as we we get underway here. Barcelona >> now going from right to left. Of course, they're trying to continue this amazing home streak of wins going. They've won 22 in a row. Remember, they won all 19 home league games last year and they've won the first three of this campaign. >> Airborne just fine. He just hanging in the air. That's a problem. >> Uh they just couldn't hang. So, this is what happens when you start getting older as a player. It's a it's a mistime jump to begin with. And so then you have to hang. And if you don't have the hang time, then he was always on the way down as he was trying to hit the ball. No chance he was going to be able to make the contact that he wanted. >> 52 result in the end. That's a good looking cross, but too close to Jan Garcia. Taff at least flexing their attacking muscles a little bit as Gordon does the same at the other end and gets there first. That was met by Seria. and Seria on the receiving end. Gordon had every right to go for it and did get the ball first. I think that's what he's trying to tell the referee to see what David Sora did or didn't do. He did not get to the ball first and it is essentially the contact that happens with the momentum that both Anthony Gordon and Sodia were carrying. Seems like an incidental contact and then because David Sodia is laying on the ground sprawl on the ground complaining of a a touch then Jesus Mansano makes the call and and then decides that it's a foul. Wonder how much longer the ownership situation could continue there. It's become untenable but we've said that about other ownership situations in in Spain before. Exhibit A would be Peter Lim and Valencia. Alias Javi Esparage releases Danny Almo who couldn't quite find a way past Sora. Good save in the end by the keeper. It's great combination play and it is a good look from Shiaoi Espar. Perhaps the ball gets a little too far for Danny Elmo where now he's trying to find that shot to come across. Fem replacing Gabby >> and Danny Almo, the man to make way for Pedri, >> who by the way, in case you didn't know, hasn't scored a goal for Barcelona in in league play since March. >> And that will continue now. What will the gap be by that stage is the question. It was six points at the start of play. It's going to go to nine. Real Madrid will have a chance to answer immediately as they kick off against Via Real in about an hour's time as Gordon gets bowled over and there's a booking because of it for Barcelona whether it's Anthony Gordo Lamin or J Kund those sort of out toin runs in which they get on the wrong side of typically in games that matter you wouldn't do that if you're a national team coach, right? Typically, Yamal lovely service and there it is. Jules Kundai does have his goal. He's playing against his favorite opponents. He becomes the Frenchman with the most appearances for Barcelona tonight and he marks it by finding the back of the net. >> They recycle the ball off to Lamina once again. And nobody picks up Jules Kundai. A lot of ball watching going on from Hafe. And he is wide open. The ball is massaged by Laminyan. Put into a dangerous area. Het optional defending at the back post. And from my kind of range, Jules Kund just get a touch on it. Get a touch on it. Get a touch on it. He does. Three nothing Barcelona. It's not going to make a jot of difference at this stage. Goal has been given has been booked presumably for protesting a little too much. Very early on, I think we both knew and everybody watching got the sense that uh-oh, this could be problematic for Hafra. >> Yeah, Famine Lopez picking up where he left off before the break. Kian Mbappe riding a bicycle and taking video of himself to put up on Instagram. >> At least he didn't uh blank out Ali Moreno from the photo doing so. >> Oh, that's a good looking cross, Lamin. Well, almost giving us an answer as to why he's still out on the pitch, but but not quite. Yeah, it's good work on the left hand side by Karim Dei. >> A lot of pace in in this cross and if you're Hamza del Karim, this is the sort of chance that you at the very least have to put on target. Eventually falls to Lameyal who tries to bend it to that back post. And yeah, you're right, Karim. >> This close, just not close enough right here. Can they match what Barcelona have done? The uh games against Vale always tend to be mighty entertaining, don't they? And we will see if this latest edition follows suits, but a perfect return for Hansy Flick and his man Alli. It's this was a glorified training session. Honestly, Adrian, it was over before it started. Two minutes in, Barcelona already up. Hafen knows that they're limited in the attack. They don't have enough to go and score goals. They've only scored four goals so far this season. And then after that it was really up to Barcelona how much they wanted to push this. It was indeed a glorified training session. Barcelano continue their perfect start of the season. As for Hafe, yeah, you got to start scoring some goals.
