He scored first and then assisted. João Félix scored first and then assisted Robert Lewandowski. It happened on Saturday against Betis and it was repeated against Antwerp, in the Champions League, big words, although the candidness of the Belgian team, debuting in the competition, denied that the highlight was the European one. It was not, although Barça has a pending score to settle with its own history after the destruction perpetrated with two eliminations in the last leagues.
João Félix scored first, needing as he is to expel the mists that hung over the relevance of his signing, whose authorship is attributed more to the president than to the coach, as if it responded to the convenience of compensating for other issues before sports issues. The Portuguese became imperative when Ansu Fati and Abde asked to leave. Before or after Felix’s arrival was agreed?
Nobody in Barcelona remembers Dembélé. Not even Lewandowski, who continues to receive passes, now from the Portuguese.
João Félix scored first to reduce the seriousness, or morbidity, of the response. It doesn’t matter anymore. Or it doesn’t matter now, for the moment, with the Portuguese scoring one goal after another – it’s true, there are only two games –, opening the scoring for Barça to settle in the League and return with its head held high to the Champions League. Welcome to the rental of the striker misunderstood Diego Simeone, something perfectly understandable given what the player offers and what the coach asks for.
Marco first João Félix because Gündogan discovered him alone in the area, in a vertical instinct that forwards like him have and not midfielders like Pedri and Gavi, who are more about arriving than being in the area. João was there when Raphinha raised his head, like Gündogan an hour before, and found him again only for him to head near the post and score the second goal.
João Felix scored first and scored later by gathering three goals in two games, a record that Ousmane Dembélé never achieved. Not a human being remembers Dembélé in Barcelona. Nor Lewandowski, the first beneficiary of the French winger’s crosses, happily returned to his country to give show at the Parc des Princes.

João Félix scored first and Lewandowski didn’t care because on Saturday he then received an assist from the Portuguese. Before thinking about how curious the coincidences are, he looks to see if he repeats himself, he received another pass from his new teammate to score another goal. One more. There are now 92, the most in the Champions League, with the top two in the ranking missing (Cristiano Ronaldo, 141, and Lionel Messi, 129, sitting in front of the TV) and the Pole’s pursuer, Karim Benzema (90), who is counting tickets in Saudi Arabia.
João Félix scored first and Barça scored a win like the ones they scored against Viktoria Pilsen last year (five goals at home and four away). Two worthless defeats –sorry–, against the weakest rival in the group, which, in fact, may now be Antwerp. The triumph of Montjuïc will need the endorsement of the following, against Porto and Shakhtar, who this year is from Hamburg and not from Donetz.
