The morning after the night before, and Barcelona are left to lick their wounds after a Clasico defeat that, whilst not devastating, has exposed the Catalan club’s shortcomings once again.
After a midweek defeat in Paris, where Barca were eventually overrun despite commanding much of the game, they succumbed in another big match. Sunday night’s performance was yet another reality check for Hansi Flick and his squad.
Yes, they are improving, but no, they’re not yet ready to feast at the top table of European football. Jose Mourinho showed just how easy it is to dismantle Flick’s swashbucklers, simply by cutting off the supply lines out wide, playing neat and compact, and hitting Barca on the break.
