This match was not surprising at all, even most Madrid fans turned off the television because the first half alone showed who the champion was. This is an El Clasico that is not as expected, the strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid has a significant difference. When entering the second half it was just a bonus round for Barcelona is just a playground. Don't get me wrong that honestly this final is not balanced.
Of course it was a surprise where most people predicted Real Madrid to win. It is true that most Madrid fans turned off the television and I also fell asleep after watching this game. No one imagined that Real Madrid would play so badly, Barcelona performed so well that they have to be praised. In PLPL Classic matches, Barcelona will get a lot of attention by performing well compared to Real Madrid and they play strong and strong. This final was a lot more interesting I would say especially here the Real Madrid fans suffered a lot and those who were Barcelona fans were happy, Barcelona maintained their great performance and their dominance which led to them winning the trophy.
To be honest. Before El Clasico started, I also favored Real Madrid to win this final match, the reason is quite simple because Barcelona is in its worst performance in the last few matches plus the financial crisis. And in terms of player quality, both teams are also balanced, even Real Madrid is better in my opinion.
However, after seeing the Line up that Ancelotti played in El Clasico yesterday, it made me doubtful, and it was proven that Real Madrid was slaughtered by Barcelona. It is very clear that Real Madrid lost because Ancelotti made a mistake in playing the line-up, even though Asensio played quite well in the semifinals but Tchouameni and both of Real Madrid's left and right defenders were very bad. The worst is Mendy even though he often doesn't play well, Mr. Ancelotti still plays him. It's really confusing even though there are still players like F. Garcia who play better and can help Real Madrid's attack.
Ancelotti's weakness is like that, if he likes a certain player, those 11 players will always be the starter unless they are injured or very tired. even though there is Arda Guler who can be a playmaker, then Ceballos and Modric and there is still Ascensio as a defender. But he chose inconsistent players like Tchouameni. The two El Clasico defeats should be a lesson for Ancelotti to immediately eliminate his ego and give trust to young players, because if they do not improve soon, it is not impossible that Real Madrid will be without a trophy this season.
