With just one win after 4 games in the Premier League, Newcastle fans can't be too pleased. The bad form from the end of the previous season, Newcastle carried over to the preparatory period, in which they were very unsuccessful. Counting the two games from the end of the season, they have played 12 games so far, in which they recorded only the one mentioned victory. In the other games, they recorded draws, but it is noticeable that defeats were in the lead. It seems that the problem surrounding Isak's departure from the club affected the whole team a lot. Wissa, Ramsey, Thiaw and as a replacement for Isak, Woltemade came to the team. Wissa is injured, Woltemade won the team against Newcastle with his goal and he still needs time to prove himself. On current form, Newcastle really couldn't have asked for a tougher team to face in the first round. Their recent performance in European competitions does not work in their favor at all, considering that they do not have a single win in their last 7 games. As for Barcelona, from what was shown in the opening games, it seems that they continued where they left off last season. Flick simply cultivates a style of play that is offensive and fast, regardless of the opponent, which befits a team like Barcelona. Of course, the absence of Yamal due to injury will have a big impact on their game, but judging by the last game in the domestic league, they can manage without him. As much as Yamal is a top player, with players like Raphinh, Pedri, Lewandowski, Rashford, Olmo, Lopez, they give Flick various options in attack. Many expected that Barcelona would advance to the finals last season, because they absolutely deserved it with the way they played during the season. However, they were defeated by Inter in an incredible match. I believe that it will be one of their motivations in this season and that we will be able to see it from the first game. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised by this odds on them and even if their victory tonight is in question, I really think they have more than a great chance to remain undefeated in this match.

在英超4场比赛后仅取得一场胜利，纽卡斯尔的球迷不会太高兴。从上个赛季末开始的糟糕状态，纽卡斯尔一直延续到预备期，在预备期他们非常不成功。算上从赛季末开始的两场比赛，他们在12场比赛中只取得了1场胜利。在其他比赛中，他们取得了平局，但值得注意的是，失败的情况居多。似乎伊萨克离开俱乐部的问题影响了整支球队。维萨、拉姆齐、蒂奥以及代替伊萨克的沃尔特马德来到了球队。维萨受伤了，沃尔特马德用他的进球帮助球队战胜了纽卡斯尔，他还需要时间来证明自己。以目前的状态，纽卡斯尔在第一轮真的不可能遇到一支更强的球队。考虑到他们在最近的7场比赛中没有一场胜利，他们最近在欧洲比赛中的表现对他们一点也不有利。至于巴塞罗那，从首场比赛的表现来看，他们似乎延续了上赛季的状态。弗里克只是培养了一种进攻和快速的比赛风格，不管对手如何，这适合巴塞罗那这样的球队。当然，亚马尔因伤缺阵会对他们的比赛产生很大的影响，但从上一场国内联赛来看，他们可以在没有他的情况下进行比赛。尽管亚马尔是一名顶级球员，但他拥有像拉斐尔、佩德里、莱万多夫斯基、拉什福德、奥尔莫、洛佩斯这样的球员，他们在进攻端给了弗里克多种选择。很多人都期待巴塞罗那上赛季能晋级决赛，因为他们在这个赛季的表现完全配得上。然而，他们在一场不可思议的比赛中被国米击败。我相信这将是他们本赛季的动力之一，我们将从第一场比赛中看到这一点。老实说，我对他们的赔率有点惊讶，即使他们今晚的胜利是有疑问的，我真的认为他们有很大的机会在这场比赛中保持不败。
