Real Madrid defeats Barcelona with two goals in El Clásico: tremendous anger from Flick and a disappointing performance from Barcelona’s trio

In one of the most exciting matches in the Spanish League this season, Real Madrid succeeded in defeating its traditional rival Barcelona 2-1, in the match that was held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the tenth round of La Liga. A match that ended with a well-deserved victory for the royal team, continuing its brilliance in the competition and rising to the top of the league standings with 27 points, while Barcelona’s balance froze at 22 points, remaining in second place.

Massive anger at Fleck

The match witnessed intense tension within the corridors of the Catalan team, as coach Hansi Flick was watching the confrontation from the stands after he was sent off in the last round against Girona. It was clear that Fleck was unable to contain his anger after an unacceptable performance from the team’s trio who caused the defeat. The German coach was unprecedentedly angry, especially with the poor performance of some of the players he was counting on in this fateful confrontation.

Lamine Yamal: Worst match of the season

One of the most controversial things about this match was the disappointing performance of rising Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who played his worst match of the season. Yamal, who had provoked Real Madrid players with fiery statements before the match, completely failed to perform at the level expected of him on the field. The pressures of these statements were evident on his performance, as he seemed unable to find spaces or provide accurate passes, to be a burden on his teammates in attack. The player is expected to face severe accountability after this lackluster performance, especially in light of the statements he made, which increased the tension in the match.

Pau Coparsi: A clear gap in defense

Spanish defender Pau Coparsi, whom coach Flick was counting on to strengthen the defense line, performed substandard in the El Clásico match. Coparsi is going through a difficult period with the Catalan team, and it seems that he is suffering from a technical crisis after the departure of his former defense partner, Inigo Martinez, in addition to his failure to regain his usual level. In the match against Real Madrid, Coparsi revealed clear gaps in Barcelona’s defense, which made the team vulnerable to repeated pressure and attacks, especially from Real Madrid’s attackers. In the absence of coordination and understanding in the defense line, Real Madrid took advantage of the spaces and its movements were characterized by intelligence and speed, which led to increased pressure on Barcelona’s defense.

Conde: Tragedy on the right flank

Jules Conde, the French full-back, was also one of the players who fell in the El Clásico test. At the start of the match, Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior’s runs on the left flank were a nightmare for Conde. The French full-back failed to effectively control Vinicius, who posed a constant threat throughout the match, taking advantage of his great speed and individual skills. Conde failed in several defensive interventions, allowing Vinicius to control the pace of play, which negatively affected Barcelona’s defence.

Real Madrid stops Barcelona’s winning streak

This defeat is a major blow to Barcelona, as it was their first El Clásico loss of the season, following a run of four consecutive victories over Real Madrid last season. Although Barcelona entered the match with optimism after its good start in the league, the team found itself facing an organized team, supported by a strong squad and distinguished performance from its players, especially in the attacking line.

The result and its consequences

With this result, Real Madrid’s score rises to 27 points in first place, strengthening its position at the top of the Spanish League table. While Barcelona remains in second place with 22 points, it hopes to recover quickly from this defeat before entering the upcoming decisive matches.

The next challenge will be big for Barcelona and its coach Hansi Flick, who will face many questions about his future with the team, especially after the defeat that carried with it many tactical and technical failures on the part of the main players.
