Barcelona enter the new La Liga season without an established first-choice striker, with coach Hansi Flick still working to replace the outgoing Robert Lewandowski. Ferran Torres is also not fully settled as a direct long-term solution, leaving Barcelona facing a clear gap in their attacking lineup.
Both outlets frame the situation as a practical dilemma for Barcelona’s preseason and early league fixtures: how to structure scoring roles and maintain goal output without a traditional focal point up front. The discussion centers on the club’s transition period after Lewandowski’s departure and the challenge of adapting to new attacking patterns under Flick’s approach. The question is whether Barcelona can cope during the opening stages of the season, either by redistributing goals among existing forwards or by using alternative positions and rotations in the final third.
