The Spanish are merciless to Real Madrid. They did not forget about Wojciech Szczęsny

This match will undoubtedly go down in history. As many as seven goals in El Clasico, plus Wojciech Szczęsny’s red card and a concert by Raphinia. Barcelona won 5-2 and left Saudi Arabia with their first trophy this season.

“Ancelotti can thank Szczęsny for saving him from a historic defeat,” writes “Marca”. The newspaper refers to the fact that only the Pole’s red card stopped Barcelona’s attempts to score more goals, so it ended with “only” five goals.

“What is it about Flick that makes Ancelotti faint when he sees him? The Italian gave the pitch and the ball to his opponent. While one team bit the grass, the other watched. Madrid’s plan was incomprehensible. Either Ancelotti explained himself poorly or the players did not pay attention to attention. And this is the result: a pogrom that causes much destruction and leads to rebirth,” we read in “Marka”.

Of course, it was Barcelona who received great praise above all else.

“It was complete Barcelona”

“It was a complete Barca, able to control the tempo of the match when necessary, not falter after Real’s opening goal, play on the counter-attack and, what’s more, all three strikers scored. Playing like this, this team can achieve anything “- writes a commentator of “Sport”.

“Superchampion Barcelona shocks Madrid,” writes “Mundo Deportivo” in the headline.

“Barça arrived in Saudi Arabia in a tense atmosphere, waiting for the registration of Olmo and Pau Víctor, but will leave not only with re-registered players in the squad, but also as Spanish super champions. (…) This title could mark a turning point in the second half of the season ” – we read further.

In turn, “AS” draws attention to the circumstances in which Barca achieved this success. It’s about the organizational and financial chaos it has to deal with.

“This Barcelona has its advantages, it is able to go in the opposite direction to the madness of its president and the political and administrative mess (…). Barca defeated Real Madrid, which had an ineffective defense and a weak attack.”
