Someone here once said, it's easier to win an 11 men team then a 10 men team, that's exactly what played out against Madrid.  The lesser the number of team members,  the more conscious the player are to making sure they don't suffer more loss than  they would,  Barcelona understood they had a man down and so they hand to lock in on their defence while advancing the attack and making sure to probably utilise opportunities when they see one which was their edge in this game and they had victory,  Madrid literally have to consider improving because the decline is becoming something of concern.

Didn't see those numbers, but it was obvious from the game that Barcelona even in the minority played better than Real Madrid.
I wouldn't blame Vasquez for Barcelona's failures, cause Tchouameni played worse than Vasquez and his foul on Gavi is hard to explain at all.
Real's problems after the departure of Kroos have only grown and it is obvious that Kamawinga and Valverde can not create chances like Kroos, and Modric has apparently gotten old and only Bellingham is still trying to create chances in the center of the field for the strikers, but it is clearly not enough and yesterday it was seen how much Barcelona is superior to Real in creating chances and creative play.

Mbappe also seems not to be able to play consistently yet and after the goal his activity dropped, and Vinicius on the left flank was lost and was not noticeable the whole match.

It wasn't Real Madrid defenders who played so badly, they had trouble keeping up with Barcelona excellent play with a deadly attack, for the second time this season Real Madrid had to lose to Barcelona with a score of 4-0 and 5-2. Barcelona finally managed to win their first trophy of the season and also the first trophy for Hansi Flick during his time in charge of Barcelona. The match was a bit tense after Szczesny red card, but Real Madrid could not catch up despite Barcelona playing with 10 player.

Losing by one goal is a very common thing for any team, but if a team that is not too strong loses by one goal to a team that has been proven to be strong like Atletico Madrid, it must clearly be said to be extraordinary for a team like Osasuna. Because every save from the goalkeeper and other players will always be an important value for them even though it ends with no points after the match is over. And now Atletico Madrid has returned to first place in La Liga with a one-point lead over Real Madrid who is currently in second place.

I didn't think there would be 7 goals in this match, I mean this is quite a crushing defeat for Real Madrid because they had to lose 2-5 to Barcelona.
At first they were quite confident because they could create a quick goal in the 5th minute through Mbappe. However, Barcelona was able to turn things around to 4-1 before the first half, I was quite surprised how weak the defense built by Real Madrid was.
Even at the beginning of the second half Barcelona was able to add 1 goal and that made Real Madrid's situation even more difficult. Hope reappeared when Barcelona got a red card, but indeed chasing 4 goals is not easy to do even with the advantage in the number of players.

Nah…. It could have been worse without a red card and that was the keeper making the defense much more weaker, you will notice that it was only after the red card Realmadrid was able to get another one in by Rodrygo so all they could do was focus more on the defense they already secured the lead with 3 goals margin.. if szczesny wasn’t given that red card then we could be talking about 7-1 that would have been so embarrassing.
Hence I did said it both of them have equal chance to win, Realmardrid loosing means Barcelona played extraordinarily, Real Madrid wasn’t bad themselves just that they couldn’t meet up that yesterday  (so you guys should stop blaming Ancelloti )

We watched a magnificent final match. Here is a final worthy of El Clasico. The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona ended in an unpredictable way. Barcelona scored four goals in the first half. I think very few people in the world thought this. The die-hard Barcelona fans may have imagined this score and everything happened as they imagined. It was a magnificent final match and despite being 40 minutes behind, Barcelona did not give Real Madrid a chance to equalize. They fought very well. Barcelona should be congratulated. Before the match, many people thought that Barcelona would have difficulty against Atletico and would succumb to Real Madrid in the final, but things did not turn out that way at all. It was the most enjoyable match I have watched recently.

Although this defeat is very painful, but stay calm, this is not the end of everything and we should not blame anyone because Ancelotti and Madrid's struggle is very long. There is still competition in the UCL and La Liga this season that Madrid will fight for and in my opinion this defeat is commonplace that has happened in the past and is not entirely Ancelotti's fault.
I understand very well how Madrid's defense performed poorly but the best defender was injured and it is impossible for Ancelotti to force it all.
Hopefully this time the defeat that occurred yesterday gave a strong signal to Ancelotti to get a quality defender to strengthen the defense which is currently in the spotlight for fans. Hopefully Ancelotti does not make mistakes in the transfer market this month.

No need to blame Ancelotti for the bad game, this season is difficult for Real, first of all because of the injuries of the defenders, the consequences of this have been following Real since the beginning of the season. Yesterday in the final, if you want to find the culprits, it was the Real defense line that cannot stand against Barcelona. But the season does not end there, it was only the cup, and there are still many La Liga matches ahead.

Barcelona used more of counter attack to break Madrid defense. Madrid only have attackers but they dont have a good defense. Since Cavarjal got injured, their defense has been very porous. I am speechless and don't know what to say, because I didn't expect such humiliation the second time this season. Looks like Madrid is not as strong as I thought.

The thing is there is no fan or soccer enthusiasts that have sympathy for Real Madrid that won't be very much angry with what played out in that match yesterday, I think Barcelona was a bit aggressive, the numbers of goal was as if they were playing basketball, honestly I was not expecting such numbers of goals in that match, reason being that the two teams are big teams who will not want to concede much numbers of goals in such remarkable event but it turns out to be a different thing, I think if not for the red card shown to Szczesny Barcelona player they would have scored more goal or goals as the case may be, if Barcelona can still beat Real Madrid consecutively with the level of players in Real Madrid then there is a problem, Barcelona was so impressive, the goals were jsut coming like a joke, i think Barcelona deserves a  kudos, they performed really good and they deserve what they got, congratulations to them for convincingly winning one of the biggest club in the world back to back this season.

I couldn't stop thinking since the match ended,
is this real?
How could it be?
It's sad to see all the way through the game, i thought when Barcelona were down to 10 men, it would be easier for Real Madrid to win but what happened was unbelievable, Real Madrid were completely slaughtered with only 10 men, it's so embarrassing. A lot of people thought they were going to win this game, i agree with you, what if Barcelona had played with 11 men, maybe worse would have happened to Real Madrid, i still can't accept it.

If anyone is to be blamed for Real Madrid's loss against Barcelona is Carlo Ancelotti, Ancelotti is out of energy and it's time for him to leave Real Madrid, how can a coach see Lucas and Tchoumeni and Mendy as defenders, the 4 goals that were score in the game is a defensive error and it all comes from the position of Lucas and Tchoumeni, Barcelona players are good but if Real Madrid has a good defenders Barcelona will not be able to score goals like 5 goals, Real Madrid has conceded 9 goals against Barcelona this season.

If Real Madrid wants to win a trophy this season they should sign another player and also find a way to sack Ancelotti because the coach doesn't think before he chooses players who are going to start a game for the team, I know all Real Madrid players did not play anything yesterday but as a coach, you have to know that if a player is not doing well he should be removed immediately but he refuse, I was not surprised by the defeat because Real Madrid is not in a good shape and the coach don't want to win the team a good trophy this season If Real Madrid president and the board did not sack Ancelotti and buy another player then as a Real Madrid fan don't expect anything from the team.

After W. Szczęsny was given red card in the early hours of the second half I was expecting Madrid to take advantage of  11 against 10 to either narrow the lead by Barcelona or even equalise and start a comeback but it seemed Barcelona even became more possessive and Madrid could do nothing to remedy the embarrassing defeat the experienced at King Abdullah Sports City.

I felt the sorrow in the eyes of Madrid fans. It was hurting watching their prestigious club at the mercy of Barcelona who dominated the game play in the first half, secured all the goals the needed to win the match in the first half and gave defensive measures their all in the second half just to win a well deserved trophy. I wish this two clash again for copa del rey finals.

I was very annoyed by the performance of Madrid's defenders in this match. They don't know what their job is. Madrid's defenders played very badly. As a result, Barcelona's players easily broke Madrid's defense. I don't think Barcelona had a very strong attack. If Madrid's defenders had played well, Barcelona would not have scored more than 2 goals in the first half.

Barcelona conceded 4 goals in the first half because of the defenders' poor performance. After conceding 4 goals in the first half, Madrid had no chance of comeback in this match. Even then, Real Madrid tried to score. But Barcelona's defenders were very aware. So Madrid could not take any advantage in this match. Barcelona defended well in the second half even with 10 players.

It was truly surprising that in this match, Real Madrid suffered a very heavy defeat against rivals Barcelona. Even though many people expected this match to be a revenge match for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona. But instead of avenging their previous defeat, Real Madrid actually experienced an even more painful defeat in this match. Maybe this will definitely be a serious blow for Ancelotti, because he certainly didn't expect that his team could lose so easily to Barcelona. Maybe it's true, for now Real Madrid will definitely focus on Laliga, because currently Real Madrid is at the top of the standings. Therefore, Ancelotti will definitely try to keep Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Apart from that, Barcelona's victory in this match was certainly an immense joy for Hansi Flick. Because the trophy he won was his first trophy with Barcelona. So this will certainly be a matter of pride for Hansi Flick. Because he was immediately able to present a trophy for Barcelona in his first season as coach. This will certainly be a big motivation for Flick or for the Barcelona players to be able to play better in all the competitions they are currently playing. Because if you look at Barcelona's current potential, I'm sure Barcelona can get more than 1 trophy this season.

The performance needs to be stable till the end of the match especially in a game against Barcelona, I don’t see Barcelona superior to them in any way but how manage did they lose to Barcelona in such manner in a Final match.
After scoring first I expected more from them, i expected them to take control of the game and score more goals but they actually dissappointed us all by losing to Barcelona, a lot of gamblers actually predicted Real Madrid as the winners.


Congratulations to Barcelona on winning their first trophy under Hansi Flick i don’t know how they did it but they won against a team with an explosive attacking force that consists of Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo and were able to contain them and only concede two goals against them. They did well and they were the better team in the game all round, Real Madrid defense was not good enough because Tchouameni was not a natural defender so he couldn’t give his best performance as Center back. Real Madrid should make up for this trophy lost in the League by winning the La Liga title.

It's painful, and i can understand it. However, Real Madrid deserved this. They play like shite, especially Vasquez, he's pure liability to the club in this game following how poor he was defending the right side. This pretty obvious Madrid has to buy Trent from Liverpool.

They have to replace Vasquez, otherwise, their opponent will always exploring the loophole on the right side.

As for the game, Barcelona dominated the game in the firsthalf. They have more possessions, more passing and shoots. It's really unacceptable Real Madrid played like a mediocre club in this game.

Maybe it's not just you, there are many Real Madrid fans who were very disappointed after watching yesterday's match. In fact, something unexpected can happen at any time in a football game. It is true that Real Madrid went ahead in yesterday's match, but they could not maintain their consistency. This match was full of excitement, while watching that match yesterday, I thought maybe we were enjoying the previous El Clasico match. A Barcelona player received a red card, which weakened Barcelona a bit. If that player had been on the field, Real Madrid might not have scored another goal after 60 minutes. Real Madrid have currently lost two consecutive matches to Barcelona, and in those two matches they were badly beaten by Barcelona.

I never saw it coming. This would be the second time this season that Barcelona has won Real Madrid with such a huge goal difference. What exactly is the problem with Carlo Ancelotti and his players? Real Madrid has a star studded squad and yet they can’t compete with Barcelona even with a one-man advantage.

Real Madrid poor defense has contributed the most to their losses so far this season. I expect Carlo Ancelotti to be active in the transfer market in search for good and quality defenders that can fit in perfectly well to fill the void of injures players and also to be able to bring stability to their defense.
