goal.com

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says the club still needs a natural striker despite a 5-0 win over Elche in their La Liga opener. Raphinha scored twice in a makeshift centre-forward role, with Fermin Lopez also netting twice and Karim Adeyemi scoring once. Flick said he will discuss potential signings with sporting director Deco before the transfer window closes. The German coach praised the clean sheet and goals but acknowledged the squad's attacking limitations. Barcelona now prepare for their first home game, hoping their current forwards can compensate until any late transfer business is completed.
