Hi community!
Ancelotti was fearful before the game and paid for it with a ridiculous performance by his team. He announced a "low and compact block" and refused to go after Barcelona from the start. What is it about Flick that when he sees him, Carletto short-circuits. The Italian gave his rival the field, the ball and, it seems, even the aggression. While one team was biting, the other was watching. Madrid's plan was incomprehensible. Either Ancelotti explained himself very poorly or the players didn't pay any attention to him. And there is the result: a rout of the kind that does a lot of damage and one that resurrects. Barça, which was brilliant, is back on cruising speed.

Barça's rout was not even greater because Flick put a semi-retired goalkeeper in the goal and played more than half an hour with ten men after his expulsion. Because Ancelotti was not looking for a reaction at half-time, but rather to minimise damage.
Camavinga had his worst game in a Madrid shirt. Completely overwhelmed from the start by the lack of help from the players up front, he was finally brought down by the penalty on Gavi, an action that also denotes a lack of concentration. The Frenchman was so out of the game that he even tried to get out of the game by seeking a second yellow card, which Gil Manzano pardoned with the same arguments that the CSD used to grant the precautionary measure to Dani Olmo.
Barça's reaction to Mbappé's goal came from Lamine Yamal, who is not far from winning the Ballon d'Or. His progress continues unstoppable and against Madrid he had another great game. The boy is on his way to becoming a nightmare for the white team like Messi was. His goal in the 1-1 draw is absolutely brilliant.
Flick again opted for the Pole from the start, in what was a clear concession to Madrid. Szczesny, who was retired and sunbathing in Marbella, is not fit to play in a team of Barça's level. Unsure throughout the match, he could not have come out worse in the play that led to his expulsion. His red card deprived Barça of an even bigger rout.
See You soon!
