This Saturday evening, Barça corrected Real Madrid (4-0) during the Clasico. A stunning performance for the team led by Hansi Flick. The German coach has given this team a second wind and seems to be building a formidable group. After the match, the former Bayern Munich technician wanted to savor this victory and congratulate his team. “We prepared for every game and we like to do things well. I always think about the image we project; today everything went as planned. It was not easy, but we must continue on this path. We defended well and we had a good match. We made a change, we focused on good defense and putting pressure on the ball. It was important to play well with the ball and also without the ball. The main thing is that in the second half we dominated the ball better. How am I experiencing this moment? It’s not about me…it’s about the team, the fans and the club. We are all happy but now we are thinking of the fans because they deserve it”.
Author of a great performance this evening against Real Madrid, Inaki Pena, demonstrated unstoppable reflexes in two face-to-face matches with Mbappé. After the match, the Barcelona goalkeeper was pleased with his team’s excellent defense, with twelve offsides. “ The coach asked us from the first day to have a very advanced line. It’s dangerous to play with so many meters behind you, yes, but we did it perfectly against the most dangerous strikers in the world in the matches against Bayern and Real Madrid. The line cannot be withdrawn and this shows us that the idea corresponds to our game. The good work is reflected in the offsides we cause “, explained the goalkeeper. Peña also emphasized that “we are very happy, we have just played against Bayern, it was a key week and it has been a great week. We must continue like this, but the road is still long, the important objectives are against the best teams in the world. We changed our mentality and the team improved a lot, it’s incredible how many goals we scored“. A great match that should stay in the back of his mind.
