Hansi Flick’s young FC Barcelona has dominated Real Madrid this season like never before and sets up a historic Clásico record. Where should that lead?
Hansi Flick typed his temples on the side of the side with his fingers: play with head! His professionals from FC Barcelona had just made a 3-2 3-2 from a 0-2 against Real Madrid within a quarter of an hour. Did you see your trainer, did you take his gesture true? Soon they shot the 4: 2.
Barça can’t help it, it always plays forward. Spanish and European football gave the most spectacular matches in the chord as can otherwise only be seen for several years. A 5: 4 in Lisbon after 2: 4. A 3: 3 and a 3: 4 against Inter Milan in the semi -final series of the Champions League, which was already considered a historically. And four victories against Real Madrid.
A poker of 16: 7
Four victories, such a poker within the same season there had never been rivalry in 123 years. Four Clásicos, four victories, total ratio 16: 7.
4: 0 away in the league, 5: 2 in the SuperCupfinale, 3: 2 in the cup final, now on Sunday at the end of the round a 4: 3. Only a 4: 3, you had to say. Because against a fleep, in Barças vertebrae of the first half in phases, almost resistant Madrid should have been higher.

But because this barça always plays with enthusiasm and not always with reason, it became even tight in the Olympic Stadium. The defense line remained adventurous, even on a tour and against such a counter -strong team like Madrid with the triple goal scorer Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior.
Nobody talks about Messi anymore, everyone’s talking about Flick
The fans love this style, in Barcelona the team is as popular than for many years. Nobody talks melancholy by Lionel Messi or Andrés Iniesta anymore, all indulges in the football of Lamine Yamal and Pedri. Nobody misses coach Pep Guardiola or Luis Enrique anymore. Everyone raves about “San Hans-Dieter Flick”, as it was christened on a fan poster.
This Hansi Flick later admitted that things are sometimes different for a trainer with such a playing style: “It’s not always fun, sometimes I suffer”, ” he said about the hurrafoot ball of his young eleven.
Lamine Yamal and Raphina cheer after a goal in Clásico
But above all, Flick was in a really good mood. In view of the narrow success, he did not have to talk about the referees, who make his otherwise admired team more life than most opponents. As with the European Cup in Milan, all disputed decisions fell on Barcelonas Schausberg Montjuïc in favor of the rival. Anyone who thought of the intimidation campaign that Real had again launched this time against the referee of the match about his club channel.
Ancelotti leaves Madrid in summer
Despite these circumstances, Flick has succeeded in a brilliant, unimagined wax release. A year ago, Real added the superstar Mbappé to his master and Champions League winning team under large pomp. Meanwhile, according to his unsuccessful era as a national coach, Flick took over Titelloses Barça in the season. But now it is Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid, who takes his hat after the season and becomes Brazil’s new national coach. And it is a flick that had to leave the European stage under great applause, but should also win the league nationally after the cup and Supercup.
There are still two points for the championship, there are still three games, and on Thursday in the derby at the local rival Espanyol could be ready. Or even on Wednesday when Real doesn’t win his home game against Mallorca.
Flick gets the very best of mood when he talks about the future of his team, about the “journey” that “It’s not over yet.” Flick does not escape that his team gets too many goals. In the feeling of success, he could admit it more clearly on Sunday as never before: “I know that we still have to improve a lot, especially on the defensive”he said: “We have to be more stable.”
“We still have a lot Potential for improvement “
The good thing for him: he can now tackle it soon. In view of the brutal rhythm of play, there was no opportunity for this over the past few months. Now she will come, especially since Barça does not take part in the new club World Cup. “We want to get better” repeated patch smiling: “And we have a lot of potential.”
Barça already shoots most of the goals in Europe. With Lamine Yamal, 17, it has a century striker in its ranks. With Pedri, 22, probably the world’s best playmaker. Unthinkable if this team also learns to defend well.
