BARCELONA, Sept 26 — Despite Perfect Start, Barca's Flick Sees Room for Improvement After 1-0 Win Over Getafe

Barcelona has kicked off the La Liga season with seven consecutive wins, but manager Hansi Flick believes there’s still room for growth following yesterday's 1-0 victory against Getafe. Robert Lewandowski's early goal helped Barca dominate with nearly 80% possession and 16 attempts on goal, yet they missed several chances to extend their lead.

As they sit at the top of the league with 21 points, four ahead of Real Madrid, Flick emphasized the need for improvement: "While seven wins is great, we can do better." He praised his players’ mentality and effort throughout the match.

Flick also commended stand-in goalkeeper Inaki Pena and declined to comment on reports linking Wojciech Szczesny to the club following Marc-Andre ter Stegen's knee surgery, which will keep him out for the season. "Inaki Pena is our number one goalkeeper, and I'm pleased with him," Flick stated, highlighting the need for experienced options in goal.
