Na serious matter we dey talk today o! Barcelona don decide say dis season na all or nothing as dem dey prepare for La Liga clash dem go face Rayo Vallecano on August 31. After dem goof for Champions League last year (we still dey cry for dat semi-finals wey dem lose to Inter), now dem don gather plenty fire to snatch all di important trophies wey dey on ground like hungry person wey see rice and beans.
Dis weekend, Barcelona don do wetin dem sabi best—come back to win against Levante, wey dem fit even use as representative for di ‘Comebacks for Dummies’ book. Dem start di match like say dem be ordinary team as dem find demself 2-0 down before halftime. But na when dem sabi say e no dey easy, dem come jaga jaga di match come back to 2-3 thanks to Pedri wey no gree make dem shame am and Ferran wey be like tiger wey dey attack! And no forget di ultimate slap to Levante, dem defender Elgezabal touch di ball enter him own net. Na wetin we dey call sweet karma!
Next match dey come waka, and na away match to Rayo Vallecano. Na dem dem dey look to carry dem early point for di table, but na no joke matter be dis as Rayo dey try maintain dem position for di league. But Barca no go wan hear story, dem go go try pull all di pressure, no mercy ni! Hansi Flick, di coach wey sabi change di game tactics like say na him dey run di show from behind, go set his squad based on di fire wey e get. Na also di first home game for dem during dis season go come up soon.
As dem dey fire di next five matches, Barcelona players dey sharpen dem skills like say dem wan enter Olympic games. Di first match at home go be against Valencia wey dey struggle small small. Na di perfect chance to flex dem offensive muscles wey dem power for di current transfer window. And for di last match of dis month, dem go face Real Oviedo, wey don climb back to La Liga after 24 years. Dem go wan show say dem go fit remain strong and solid because dem don tire to dey follow dem for relegation zone like dem dey run marathon!
So, make we see how dis wahala go play out. Barcelona dey ready to claim dem thrones back, and we fit dey expect plenty gbas gbos as dem dey throw away any team wey wan stand for dem road. Na only time go tell, but one thing we know be say, dis season go sweet pass sugar!
