Previously I said that Ancelotti needs to be aware of the tactics implemented by Hansi Flick, because he will certainly take advantage of Real Madrid's weakness which is not strengthened by several important players who are still injured. In addition, Real Madrid's game has not reached its best level, which in the end Madrid's game often relies more on the individual skills of its players. Leading first with a quick goal created by Kylian Mbappe could not last long, Barcelona replied with a goal created by Lamine Yamal. After that, Barca easily widened their lead by scoring several more goals. IMO, even though Barca fell behind first, their mentality has been tested enough and was able to turn things around. In the Real Madrid camp, based on statistics, their players did not play compactly, Valverde, Camavinga did not play a good role as Madrid's pivot. In defense, almost all of their defenders played chaotically and as we saw Barca was able to convert 5 of their chances into goals. Well, nothing is impossible in football and as we saw Real Madrid lost with a landslide score.

I think that Real Madrid doesn't need Mbappe but Mbappe needs Real Madrid. Mbappe is not a player whose arrival will make a team unstoppable, he has a different style, he heavily depends on playmakers and depends on the pass to then go quickly on front and score the goal. A player that really makes a difference is Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo and a few other ones.

Yes, Hansi Flick seems to be a good coach for Barcelona. He is a good strategist and is never satisfied with the result. I think that with Hansi Flick, Barcelona will achieve a lot of success. I just hope that he and the whole team will take care of Lamine Yamal. If they manage to keep him loyal and take care of him, he will be a successful player for a long time. Barcelona heavily need player like Messi and Lamine has the potential. He isn't Messi but he is doing very well. I hope they won't play him a lot because if he plays a lot, his body will tear quickly.

I haven't watched old games of Barcelona but I grew up with Messi. I mean, the squad of Barcelona and Real Madrid of season 2010-2017 was the squad that was making El Clásico enjoyable. There was a big tension between teams, there was a big rivalry between players, it was amazing.

The loses from Barcelona has been showing Real Madrid required a lot of improvement especially on their defense because conceded 5 goals is serious alert for Real Madrid and luckily Barcelona at that time got the red card because if this incident didn't happen possibly Barcelona will scores more goals in the second half and Ancelotti has been concern for the right side because after Dani Carvajal injured right side is became an the weaknesses of Real Madrid

Ancelotti recently asking to Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez to buy the players this January but it seems Ancelotti will have to be disappointed because this winter Florentino Pérez confirmed will not buy the players and i think this is bad because Real Madrid still playing at several different competitions this season so it's too risky to rely on the current squad which mostly some of the defender still got the injured

Real Madrid have not found their best form this season so I am not surprised by their defeat and from the overall performance of Real Madrid this season I think they are not stronger than Barcelona although Barcelona also could not maintain the consistency of their performance.

Yamal really became a nightmare for Real Madrid in the final match, the young Barcelona player continued to show a very impressive performance and I think he became a player who made a difference in Barcelona's front line so they could be more creative in developing attacks.

Overall Real Madrid's performance was bad in this match, very disappointing indeed but that is something that Ancelotti has not been able to solve since the beginning of the season and it continued until the match.

I was not prepared for Real Madrid's defeat at all. I was supporting Real Madrid as the favourites to win the match, but they lost the match miserably. I was more surprised than I was surprised by Real Madrid's loss, but I was more surprised that Barcelona's off-form team won the match by a huge margin of 5-2 against a strong team like Real Madrid. I don't want to give credit to anyone for Barcelona's victory, they all performed very well as a team. I guess Lamine Yamal will travel the world one day, maybe one day he will be able to build a fanbase like Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo. I am not comparing him to stars like Messi, Ronaldo, but he will be one of the best players of his time.

On the other hand, the performance of anyone other than Real Madrid's goalkeeper is unacceptable to me. Their defense, in particular, was a complete failure. They were saved from a worse score only by the great performance of their goalkeeper. Real Madrid's weak defense is definitely a cause for concern and they must look for a strong defense. Otherwise, it would be wrong to expect anything consistently good from them.

I'm wondering what they often bottled the games against Barcelona. Real Madrid is strong, yes, but their biggest weakness was Barcelona. Although they perform with the full squad, they're still getting shitty result. It's hard to accept the lost. It's enough to see how Ancellotti is still stubborn by playing with his current squad without adding new player.

They're really need a new fuckin RB and a good midfielder. Playing with Vasquez and Tchouameni will never work.

it goes to show the difference between both teams, it showed that Real Madrid are a team of individual talents meanwhile Barcelona are more like a unit, they combined very well against Real Madrid and that was why it was very easy for them to get an equalizer very quickly in the first half and took the lead and could also withstand Real Madrid despite the red card suffered by Barcelona goalkeeper in the second half.

In fact, the final was balanced for both teams. We could say that Real Madrid and Barcelona had equal chances before the final, some people even saw Real Madrid as the favorite, but that was not the case in reality. Barcelona was the sole dominant player in the match. They achieved results in most of the positions they went to the Real Madrid goal. Also, the Real Madrid goalkeeper saved a few important positions. There could have been worse scores. It was a dream night for Barcelona and they celebrated the championship to the fullest.

El Clasico today is no longer the same as before. Sometimes Barcelona loses by a big score to Real Madrid and vice versa, sometimes Real Madrid loses by a big score to Barcelona. Every time these two teams meet, for some reason one of the teams is always in less than optimal condition which makes the match sometimes a little unbalanced. But if Real Madrid played with their full main squad without any injuries such as their back line players, then I think the match could be more intense. But yeah, right now we can't really have high hopes given Real Madrid's current condition. Even though some of the injured players have recovered, they still cannot return to their best performance. On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​unexpectedly, this season they are in very good performance even though the team in the last transfer market only brought in young players.  But the results are truly amazing.

This victory was very much needed for Barcelona. The victory in this match has definitely boosted the confidence of Barcelona players. In the last 5 matches in La Liga, we have not seen a better performance from Barcelona. In the last 5 matches, Barcelona has won only one match and lost three matches. Barcelona has lost the top spot in the table due to losing these three matches. After the victory against Madrid, it is expected that we will see better performance from Barcelona in the coming matches.

Real Madrid could not play well against Hansi Flick's great match strategy. Madrid lost against Barcelona by a big margin in both the matches. However, Barcelona has lost its dominance in La Liga. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to regain the top spot in the table. Barcelona will have to win consistently in the upcoming matches.

It is obvious that Barcelona with Flick is a very uncomfortable opponent for Real, because Real's game can be called quite satisfactory, with the exception of a few unsuccessful matches, but they have twice suffered very heavy defeats against Barcelona. Flick should be happy with this result, although Barcelona for some reason cannot maintain stability in the game, sometimes they play simply masterpieces, the final was exactly like that.

In this match, Real Madrid game pattern was quite bad, starting from a very vulnerable defense to a goalkeeper who appeared less than optimal, so Barcelona could take the opportunity to create goals, not just once but even up to 5 goals, which is extraordinary. I thought it was going to be a fun and thrilling match, but it was a massacre.

Yes, Mbappe's performance since joining Real Madrid has not lived up to many people's expectations. Because many people think that Mbappe's arrival will make Real Madrid an unbeatable team this season. But it turns out that all these assumptions do not match the reality. Because in reality this season Real Madrid has actually experienced a significant decline in performance. Therefore, Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid has not had any impact so far. Maybe Mbappe needs more time to adapt well to Real Madrid. Because it seems like Mbappe is very slow to adapt to Real Madrid. So with this, the best performance has not been seen until now.

But if, for example, Mbappe is rested first by Ancelotti, I don't think that's a good way to go. Because if, for example, Mbappe is rested for several matches, this will make his adaptation process even more difficult. Maybe instead of resting, Ancelotti would be better off trying to rotate Mbappe to a wing position. I think that would be better. Because it could be that moving Mbappe to the wing sector will make him much more comfortable, rather than being a center forward. And apart from that, currently Real Madrid has a poor defense. So Real Madrid concedes very easily this season. Therefore, Ancelotti's task will be more difficult this season.

Quality of Barcelona and Real Madrid are not too different but by losing two matches with big defeats by Barcelona, Real Madrid actually have very big problems, technically, humanly and mentally when facing this opponent. These defeats are very terrible for pride of Real Madrid and they can not consider it as nothing important. However, the season is only a half of it and titles in La Liga and Champions League will only be known when this season ends in May, next five months.

Real Madrid lost this cup to Barcelona but they have two other bigger titles to fight for, La Liga and Champions League, as well as a lot of time and matches to take these trophies.

Carlo Ancelotti is very flexible with his tactics and player choices and this is a match with everything bad for him and Real Madrid. You can say he chose bad tactic and players for a debut squad in this match, but players with their terrible performances and easy collapse are responsible for this big shameful defeat too.

Modric is very old and only able to play limited minutes each match, and perhaps Ancelotti wanted to use Camavinga because he is younger and stronger and can help Real Madrid to cover their midfield better. It works in some matches and Camavinga can provide quite well balance between attacking and defense too. Modric at his old age now, only can do well in attacks and it isn't enough for this final match.

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.

Yes, I really agree with you, this kind of score line isn't unusual with Real Madrid Vs Barcelona games, most times even when Barcelona are not in form they still know how to beat Real Madrid and Real Madrid on the other hand, when they are not in form they somehow find a way beat Barcelona with a 1 or 2 goals margin. Barcelona always has a higher margin scoreline against Real Madrid if they want to beat Real Madrid.

Although, this past season and this season, Real Madrid hasn't played with their full back line, it's either this person is injured or one thing or the other. I have noticed it's only Rudiger that's injury free from that Real Madrid defense line. Last season Real Madrid won Barcelona home and away and also in the Spanish Supercopa De Espana, this season maybe Barcelona wants to do the same thing, they have already won Real Madrid away from home and also won them in The Supercopa, lets see what happens when they play the return leg.

With Real Madrid's defeat yesterday, I think this proves that Barcelona can still be better than Real Madrid and can overtake their ranking in the standings, even though they are 5 points behind, I think there is still a chance for Barcelona to catch up. I myself was enthusiastic to watch the match between the two teams yesterday and I did not expect Barcelona to embarrass Real Madrid again after yesterday they lost with a landslide score of 4-0.
Currently, there are lots of meme images involving these two big teams because of the results of yesterday's match, including my friend who is a Barcelona fan in his current status full of Barcelona, ​​he even teased a friend who is a Real Madrid fan by saying "The opponent disappeared from the lane". This is funny to me because there is competition apart from the competing teams.

I don't believe that Carlo Ancelotti is going to make things change, I have begun to doubt Carlo Ancelotti that he is out of energy to coach Real Madrid players, the reason why I said that is because of the way he coaches the team this day, in the match Between Barcelona and Real Madrid you will know that Ancelotti is out of energy even from the lineup, Ancelotti did a big mistake that he did in the first game of El Clasico, Starting Tchoumeni and Lucas in the defensive position is the worst decision for Carlo Ancelotti, Ancelotti doesn't trust young players and in the game against Barcelona, he should use some young players to make the team balance.


In the match, I prefer starting Modric in the game and later after the second half he should bring Camavinga, instead of removing Vinicius from the game Bellingham is the one to come out and Brahim Diaz to be in the midfield because he is very strong, Ancelotti doesn't trust some players and I also think that he like some players that is why he always play them in every match even when the team is losing, there is a news that some players are not happy with Carlo Ancelotti and that will make Ancelotti lose his job because when players are angry with a coach they won't perform well.

Predicting the final match is always difficult because both teams are strong teams and personally, it is actually very difficult for me in that match to determine who will win. but luckily I bet on Barcelona winning because I had a feeling that if Yamal played then Barcelona's strength would be better and also at that time there was news that Olmo would play. I was sure that Barcelona's mentality would be stronger and fortunately my guess was proven right.

It is true that at that time the Barcelona players did not expect the results to be more satisfying because the Barcelona players also knew that the team they were going to face was not just any team because of the many star players at Real Madrid. It's true that matches with results like this rarely happen, but if you look at the history of Elclasico match results, there have been quite a few scores that ended with a fantastic score, like in the last Elclasico match in Laliga, Barcelona won with a score of 0-4.

But of course Real Madrid's defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup is not the end of everything and of course Real Madrid still has many opportunities to win other trophies such as in Laliga or others, but what is certain is that Carvajal's injury has really affected Real Madrid.

To be honest, all this time I have been surprised by the assumption that when a team loses in a match, especially the final, many of us think that the competition is not prestigious, even though the fact is that the coaches actually fielded their main squad in the match to win it, but if they lose, of course the fans will say: not a prestigious trophy , but regardless of whether the Spanish Super Cup is prestigious or not,  But we can see how Madrid and Barcelona are trying hard to win the match to maintain their pride, because so far the two teams have a long history and a very strong rivalry, so every meeting they always end in a high-intensity game and also controversy.
