Barça has solved a years-long debt with eight goals in four days after humiliating its two natural enemies, teams that have made its life bitter in Europe and in the League, such as Bayern and Madrid. He had no mercy on the Germans in a packed match and left the Madridistas offside to the astonishment of the Bernabéu. The synchronization and defensive concentration of the Blaugrana in the application of an invisible line, only marked by the lineman and the Var, contrasted with the inopia of the Madrid defenders. Mendy was hooked after Vinicus and Mbappé had repeatedly been left in limbo and a balanced and lively match fell blatantly in Barcelona’s favor.
The resources of the Blaugrana increase, they form a very familiar and supportive squad and they are also a team that Flick has worked hard on the training field. Nothing to do with the Madridistas, who tend to improvise, too confident in their figures, right now very confused because they cannot find the thread of the game, the root of the pass that activates their famous forwards, orphans of Kroos. It was not enough for them against the Barcelona fans with the departure of Modric. The forcefulness and efficiency of Barça put an end to Ancelotti’s box of gum and sweet dreams. The results of the classic usually leave their mark and the last one will not be easy to digest for the coach and much less for Florentino.
The sender-receiver dialogue that worked so well at Barça never existed in a disoriented Madrid. This explains why the figure was Lewandowski in a match designed for Vinicius, Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. The performance of the Blaugrana was in any case so choral and grateful that even Peña stood out and De Jong conceded. Flick has also improved the substitute goal in excellent management after the signing of Szczesny. The match plan established by the coach, both from the lineup and with the changes, was excellent in a classic that places the Blaugrana six points ahead of Madrid.
Barcelona has gained credit, self-esteem and respect because in addition to being a team that excites and mobilizes its fans, it also deserves the admiration of its opponents, including that of Madrid. He has stopped offending and indoctrinating with the banner of style, he is today much less moralistic and is better seen for his sense of rhythm and is committed to a football commonly accepted as modern, without losing identity due to his attachment to La Masia. He has not betrayed the cult of the ball, nor lost creativity, expressed in the ingenuity of youth players like Lamine, Cubarsí or Casadó, but rather he has learned to compete without chains, willing to turn each match into an adventure that engages the youngest players. increasingly numerous in Montjuïc.
The Barcelona fans are dedicated and willing to accompany the team wherever necessary, because ambition prevails over frustration, once the coach no longer puts limits on the same squad that was previously considered impossible and has put an end to a transfer policy that consisted of incorporating footballers by accumulation to cover the holes left by Neymar and Messi. Frustration has given way to excitement and right now it is difficult to put limits on a team that is as beautiful as it is effective, distinguished by its competitive tension, neat in taking care of its back and unstoppable in the face of the opposing goal, as Bayern and the team know well. Madrid. The young people of La Masia do not know what the fear of the Bernabéu is.
