Barcelona manager Flick anticipates a promising season from Rashford
Barcelona are in high spirits as they prepare for their upcoming LaLiga match against Levante. The Catalan giants have been in fine form, winning six of their last seven matches against newly promoted teams and five consecutive away games against such teams.
Raphinha, who recently reached a significant milestone of 100 goal involvements for Barcelona in all competitions (55 goals and 45 assists), will be a key player for the team. His impressive form was evident in the club's recent 3-0 win against Mallorca, where he scored the first goal for Barcelona in a LaLiga season since Ronaldinho in 2007.
Meanwhile, 18-year-old Lamine Yamal has also been making waves. Despite criticism regarding his celebration after scoring a stunning goal against Mallorca, Hansi Flick, Barcelona's coach, defended the youngster. Yamal's performance has earned him a regular starting position on the flanks, a position he shares with Raphinha.
Marcus Rashford, on a season-long loan from Manchester United, also made his LaLiga debut for Barcelona in their win over Mallorca last week. Although he did not score a goal, he created two chances for his team. Hansi Flick believes Rashford has a lot to offer Barcelona this season, but his playing time may be limited due to the form of Raphinha and Yamal.
As for Levante, they have not won any of their last five matches against Barcelona in LaLiga since November 2019. Their recent form has been mixed, with two home wins in a row but failing to win three or more in a row at the Ciutat de Valencia since January 2021.
Jeremy Toljan is a player to watch for Levante in their upcoming match against Barcelona. Opta's win probability gives Barcelona a 70.5% chance of winning, Levante have a 12.4% chance, and the probability of a draw is 17.1%.
Barcelona's impressive run of form and the form of Raphinha and Yamal suggest they will be favourites to extend their winning streak against Levante. However, Levante will be determined to break their losing streak against the Catalan giants and give their home fans something to cheer about.
