What a weird first game of the season for my young Barca team.
Against Athletic we start like a wild hurricane. First goal comes after two minutes and is an own goal by Unai Nunez after his namesake Unai Simon saves a header by Langlet from a corner just to direct it into Nunez back.
The second goal comes only 5 minutes later when Griezmann gets on the end of a great team move and lobs it over Simon. This is followed by 50 minutes of insane chance wasting on our end, Griezmann misses a penalty and 2 one on ones with Simon just for us to concede a long shot screamer by Raul Garcia in the 61st minute.
At this stage I already think this is going to be one of those stupid games I'll end up drawing after completely dominating the whole game. In the 75th minute after Griezmann wastes another quality chance I have seen enough and sub him of for Moukoko, which I brought in for €66M in the summer and he succeeds where Griezmann so miserably failed and scores only 3 minutes after coming on.
Another own goal by Atheltic and Moukokos second goal end up making it a clear 5-1 win.
Oh yeah second season transfers for Barca, I got rid of Busquets, Trincao, Pjanic, Agüero and Depay. I only brought in players 18 or younger. 3 newgens and Moukoko, with Moukoko being by far the most expansive at €66M the rest cost between €3M and €12M.
All in all I feel we are currently in a excellent financial position with a balance of €500M. I wonder if any of that money can be used to pay off debt?
