World Sports: Barcelona s recovery is just one point away from the top spot, La Liga wins three consecutive games to escape a bad October

World Sports reported that Barcelona returned to the Nou Camp and their condition has improved and is approaching the top of the list.

After experiencing last year’s “Bad November” and this year’s “Bad October”, Barcelona has finally ushered in a recovery. Despite three defeats in October (against PSG, Sevilla and Real Madrid), a narrow victory over Girona and a somewhat unreal victory over Olympiakos (6-1), Barcelona are having a sweet moment. Especially after Real Madrid's draw at Elche last week (2-2), which left Barcelona just one point away from the top spot.

Entering November, although the team once faced the absence of as many as seven players, under the leadership of head coach Flick, Barcelona achieved three consecutive victories in La Liga, two of which were big wins: a 4-2 away victory over Celta Vigo and a 4-0 home victory over Athletic Bilbao. Even the failure to win in Bruges (3-3) in the Champions League cannot overshadow the team's current good momentum, with Barcelona just two points behind the direct qualification to the knockout stages.

In addition, some key players are also in excellent form. Lewandowski became the first scorer at the new Camp Nou last weekend. He has scored four goals in the last two games and has become the team's second scorer, second only to Ferran Torres (9 goals) who performed equally well. Phelan won the starting position through unremitting efforts and performed well during Lewandowski's injury, and was even regarded as the first choice by Flick in some cases. Last Saturday, with Rashford absent due to the flu, Phelan performed well on the left and scored two goals.

In addition, after receiving radiofrequency treatment, coupled with intensive training with a physical therapist and gym exercises, Yamal gradually got rid of the impact of his groin injury and regained his form. Fermin chose to stay in the face of Chelsea's transfer pressure and eventually won the starting position, surpassing Olmo to become the core of the midfield. His positive attitude and goal-scoring ability were recognized by Flick.

Eric Garcia also showed his versatility, playing as a defensive midfielder against Athletic Bilbao and involved in two goals. Now, De Jong is back from the ban, and Rafinha and Rashford are about to return. Only Pedri will take some time to fully recover.
