FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu with a lethal victory that they managed to achieve in the second half (0-4). The white team overflowed in defense and a much more offensive Barcelona, constant and determined to win, simply did not allow any respite. Gerard Piqué, former player and legend of the Barcelona entity, was one of those who was happy with this victory.
They almost got ‘the little hand’
The former culé footballer issued a statement on his social networks. The little hand almost happened again (5 goals) at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he was present and then held that festivity that remained in the memory of all football fans in the world.
Gerard Piqué’s message after the victory
“We are unique. They can never be like us. With all the young people of La Masia. What a recital. How proud,” he said in his message through his official X account (previously called Twitter).
The former player of the Spanish national team, also referring to what has been the new bet of the technical director German, Hansi Flick, for the culé team’s youth team. The German has placed his trust in ‘La Masía’ throughout the season and they are responding to him on the field, as is the case with midfielder Marc Casadó, who was vital for the Blaugrana’s victory in the white fiefdom and has become a regular man in the starting 11 of the debutant coach on the Catalan bench.
Barça risks and Madrid remains offside
Hansi Flick did not change at all his risky plan of playing with the defensive line quite advanced in a duel that took place in the facilities of the legendary Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Once again he showed that this works and proof of this were the two goals disallowed by Real Madrid’s French forward, Kylian Mbappé, and who also had several offside occasions. The White House club fell into the German coach’s ‘trap’, with up to a total of 11 offsides, a situation that the merengue team could not correct during the course of the match.
Of them, eight were in the first half of the match, and six by the French player Kylian Mbappéincluding his disallowed goal in the 30th minute. With eight, Real Madrid equaled its highest number of offsides in 45 minutes of an official League match for 11 years.
Lewandowski in killer mode
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski with the invaluable help of Ferland Mendy managed to score a couple of goals to reaffirm the good moment he is currently experiencing in LaLiga and the Catalan club. The Frenchman was stuck when Real Madrid put forward pressure and the Pole was able to stand alone in front of the merengue goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, to make it 0-1 in the 54th minute that changed the match.
Neither in defense nor in attack could Real Madrid get it right. And this took on much more weight when in the 66th minute, Mbappé saw another of his goals disallowed due to another offside, his seventh in the Clásico.
Those of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti conceded two goals in two minutes, the same period in whichTen minutes later, Lewandowski forgave a 0-3 lead that would end up coming in the 77th minute against a Real Madrid that was simply dejected and without any response, with a soft jaw when it came to conceding goals that does not characterize it.
Asking for the time to end the meeting
What’s more, with 0-4, lost on the pitch, the white team ended up asking for time so they couldn’t concede five goals.. “The little hand” that the Barça fans loudly and excitedly asked for in the stands of a Santiago Bernabéu that saw their team lose a classic 0-4 for the second time in two seasons, could not be achieved, but the result speaks for itself .
