An attack made up of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, supported by the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Malcom and Munir El Haddadi - combined with a midfield trio of Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Arthur Melo - with the likes of Arturo Vidal and Denis Suarez on the bench have been very effective when it comes to controlling games and wreaking havoc on opposing teams so far this season.
Ter Stegen and Jasper Cilliesen are two of the most impressive goalkeepers in Spain at the moment while the likes of Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba, and Sergi Roberto form a decent defensive line with players like Samuel Umtiti, Thomas Vermalean and Nelson Semedo to their support.

Barcelona philosophy and approach towards the game under Pep Guardiola further fueled the burgeoning love for the sport, and he has been a Culer ever since.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo. The 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where Messi's brace led to La Albiceleste lifting the cup left a lasting impact on him. His love for Messi also sees him follow Major League Soccer apart from Europe’s top five leagues.
