In his final iteration 2024/25, El Clasico refused to disappoint.
It was a campaign of extraordinary duels between Spain two Behemots. Two routes in Barcelona followed a great Copa del Rey final last month, and it was goals in Catalonia Sunday afternoon.
Travis Scott was present because of the extremely significant victory of Barcelona because the hosts used to use mercilessly a Real Madrid Defense that conducted most of the competition in honor of the American rapper.
This was an open football match as you’ve ever probably seen. There were seven goals, but it could have been at least 67. It seemed that each attacking sequence had resulted in a moment of note, and only rarely the struggle was allowed to get involved in the air.
In the end, Ship’s triumph 4-3 He left them on the verge of glory of La Liga, until 2024/25 confirmed that the season of sensitive disappointment was in the Spanish capital. Here are four things we learned from the game.
Last season La Liga and Champions League Double seemed like the beginning of the Real Madrid overwhelming period in Spain, and many suggest that the rich became just a richer by adding, probably, the best football players in the world in their ranks in Kylian Mbappe.
The Frenchman, individually, performed well after a rather slow start. His hat-trick means that he is now running Robert Lewandowski on the Pichichi ladder with 27 goals of La Liga, but Mbappe’s goal reward is likely to be the only honor of Madrid Garners from what was bitterly disappointing campaign.
Even master Balancer Carlo Ancelotti failed to get this set of players to be coated. While Madrid have Capacity for punching as a collective, such cohesion has rarely prevailed. As a result, they often manifested a rather separate shape, and Acelotti’s old -fashioned ideals fade compared to the exciting principles that this Barca team adheres to.
Sunday’s defeat means that the last year of Ancelotti will end without a domestic silver accessories or a Champions League, and at Xabi Alonso is that Madrid works with telepathy that has launched Barcelona to the promised country in this term.
The only thing missing Yamal’s performances Against Inter Tuesday was the final touch. While the Spaniard prevented the extraordinary Yann Sommer on several occasions in the middle of the week, Yamal was also guilty of making finishes that did not fit the quality of his overall effect.
However, the teenage superstar did not allow them to discuss a potential problem in the last third on Sunday. In the midst of another divine representation from perhaps the best in the world, Yamal achieved another Barcelona with an emphasis on effort.
The wing ran into the release of Ferran Torres with the greatest intention, a subtle bending the ball next to the desperate Thibaut Courtois. Even on Tuesday night, Sommer would have a chance.
You doubt it is a kind of goal that will make yamal habit of scoring.
The goals were so relentless in Montjuic that they seemed to lose value. We are not really sure how ‘fun’ this article got the level of defense on the screen.
Flick’s aggressive defense line seemed good when Barcelona was fresh, but this season was a syllable, and their energy -free energy level no longer favors the high line success. They acknowledged at least twice in five of their previous seven trips in all competitions, and at least three in four. If Borja Iglesias has triggered a mess against this pale Barcelona team, what did you think Mbappe and Vini Jr would do?
The zone approach meant that Madrid had often made their way without touching. After traffic, the hosts were immediately vulnerable. Now it is not possible to deny that Flick’s aggressive line was crucial for their success this season, helping their ability to suffocate and maintain, but Barcelona’s fire defense displays are asked whether such an approach is a long -term sustainable.
However, although there is a method of Barca’s madness, Madrid was without a single idea of stopping the home side to win on Sunday Clasico. They did not train well from the possession of most of the second term of Ancelotti, and Mbappe’s arrival worsened his trouble without the ball.
You can pass, around and through this Madrid background.
Rodrygo has long been foreseen as an undervalued fourth horseman of this attack by Real Madrid, but the Brazilian seemed to fall out of affection before Potential summer emigration.
After missing the 3-2 win over Celta Vigo due to an apparent illness, Rodrygo, who played more than 3,200 minutes in all competitions this season, returned to Accelotti’s team for Clasico but failed to go to the field.
Something is not quite fine. Ancelotti turned to Victor Munoz’s debutant to replace the injured Vinicius Junior’s final stages, despite the fact that Rodrygo was available. There was talk of a potential departure this summer, and Acelotti’s sudden tendency to Ard Guller suggests that the Brazilian star may be on the road from the Spanish capital.
It felt like a special indicator.
