Goals still flowing for Barcelona over the international break

Goals continue to find the back of the net for Barcelona during the international break, despite the three-week hiatus from domestic football. Many of the Catalan club's stars have taken advantage of the break to play for their respective national teams. Lamine Yamal has been a standout performer for Spain, scoring a goal against England and adding two more and an assist against Croatia.

Pedri, who has mainly been on the bench for Spain, has still managed to provide an assist and the midfield talent will likely be well rested during the international break. Spain's national team is in the same Nations League group as England, where Anthony Gordon has proven his goal-scoring prowess for the Three Lions, netting twice for England in two games.

Raphinha, Hamza Abdelkarim, and Joao Cancelo have also added to the tally for their national sides, with Raphinha scoring a penalty against Australia, Abdelkarim netting his first goal for Egypt against South Sudan, and Cancelo scoring a cheeky dink against Denmark. Summer signing Karim Adeyemi could soon join them in celebrating his return to the Germany set-up with an assist against the Netherlands.

Manager Jurgen Klopp played down missed chances for his players and praised Adeyemi's contribution, calling him a "wonderful guy and a very pleasant person." With another round of fixtures for most international teams ahead, Barcelona's players have another opportunity to shine and demonstrate their talents on the world stage. Most importantly, Flick will be hoping that all of his players return fit, healthy, and eager to face some crucial fixtures at home and abroad in October.
