Well..apparently not 
I told you to look at goals conceded this season and shots on goal. In the league it's 0 goals and against Atletico it was 1 goal and Atletico had barely any other chance in the second half. They play very different than last year, center backs are more involved in playmaking, wingers play more outside on wings, fullbacks move inside....it's not that they are more defensive, but they play less gungho and the team plays more compact. But anyway, they scored 7 against Levante.

Neymar is not starting because he is not ready. He had an operation in summer, then he missed half of the preparation and he lost around 6 kg after operation.
I don't know how else I should explain this to you. In previous years you had the wingers moving in. Now they play much wider and the fullbacks and the midfielders are supposed to come in. It helps for pressing and avoids space behind fullbacks but it gives you a lack of presence in front of the goal. Also, apart of Levante, they played two of the more solid teams in Spain away, so no matter who plays, it was going to be difficult.
