Barcelona is worth watching now

Lamine Yamal is the inspiration of Barcelona.

In an era where football is becoming increasingly sterile, driven by calculation, budgets and the ruthless caution of coaches, Barcelona has chosen a different path. Not the easy one. Not the safe one. It is the path of risk – and of spectacle.

Even though the financial problem has not been completely solved, even though the possibility of registering new players is still questioned by La Liga, Barca continues to present an image... very Barca: bold, creative, and inspiring. It is a risky choice, but for those who love beautiful football, it is also the promise of an exciting season.

Football is about feeling - and Barça don't want to lose that

You may win, you may lose. But the most important thing is that the fans leave the stadium with their hearts beating, their eyes sparkling after a match that has exploded with emotion. That is why Barcelona refuses to enter the pragmatic cycle, where victory is supreme but memories fade.

The club’s renaissance journey is not just about trophies. It is about bringing back its identity. The club’s leadership has repeatedly stated that they will not trade the DNA of attacking football for short-term results. And when watching recent friendlies, when witnessing young players like Fermin, Cubarsi or Yamal playing fearlessly, we see something very similar to the Pep era – a time when Barça played with a clear philosophy, regardless of the circumstances.

Many young players have the opportunity to be used by Barcelona this season.

Barca are not the only club in financial trouble in Europe, but they are perhaps the only one that dares to "live with the flood" by... playing football that makes viewers unable to take their eyes off. While many clubs choose to shrink, tighten their budgets and switch to pragmatic football to survive, Barca choose the opposite: to go all out and show off.

Putting faith in young talent rather than spending big on signings is a risk. Changing tactical philosophy with Hansi Flick, who has never coached a Spanish club, is also a risk. But that is what makes this season so appealing. No one knows how far Barcelona will go, but everyone believes they will deliver something special.

This is not a perfect team. The defensive issues have not been completely resolved. The captaincy saga is still being debated internally. And of course, the failure to sign Dani Olmo or other young talents is still a headache that has not been solved. But in the midst of this chaos, Barcelona has maintained a proud spirit: to keep moving forward.

Dream come true

There is a question that every Barca fan is asking themselves: can the club recapture its peak? The answer is probably unknown, but one thing is certain: this team still dares to dream.

And the dream here is not just empty words. It is a dream that is nurtured at the Ciutat Esportiva training ground, where young players train every day in the belief that they can be the next Xavi, Iniesta or Messi. It is a dream that is rekindled by the speed of the ball, by the way the team attacks with the strong belief that “beautiful football still has a place in this era”.

Under Flick's hand, the team is worth watching.

The return of some former players like Thiago in assistant roles, or the close connection between the lines in Flick's playing style, are also signs that the team is looking for a balance between the glorious past and the challenging present.

There will be defeats. There will be games where they are criticised for being “naive”, for “forgetting to be pragmatic”. But that is the price of staying true to your identity. Because if you lose what makes you different, what is Barca?

When Barca take to the pitch next season, they will not only be fighting for three points, but for a footballing ideal that they believe is worth preserving. And that is what makes the club, even if it doesn’t always win, so integral to footballing history.

Barcelona this season embodies a fascinating paradox: the more uncertainty they face, the more they play as if they have nothing to lose. They may not be the favourites for every trophy, but they are certainly a team to watch, to talk about, and – most importantly – to feel.
