One of Barcelona's most special bright spots this season has been their impressive comebacks. Coach Hansi Flick, although he has only been in charge for less than a season, has won all 4 matches against Real Madrid.
In the El Clasico match in round 35 of La Liga, Blaugrana continued to have an emotional victory over their arch-rivals. They came back to beat their opponents 4-3 despite being 2 goals behind. Not only 3 points, Barcelona also affirmed their mettle and spirit of not giving up.
Under the leadership of Flick, Barcelona is not only an unlikely team to be defeated but also shows a beautiful and dedicated playing style. The German has successfully combined Barcelona's tiki-taka tradition with modern elements of German football, creating a unique and unpredictable style.
Even in the defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League, Barcelona still showed an impressive spirit. Despite falling behind early, they persevered with their attacking style, pressing and creating countless opportunities. This performance received praise from experts, despite the unsatisfactory final result.
Notably, in the second half of the match, Barcelona showed a completely different face. With an outstanding ball possession rate, the Catalan team continuously put pressure on Inter's goal. Robert Lewandowski had two unfortunate missed situations, while Raphinha also created dangerous breakthroughs from the right wing. Statistics show that Barcelona has created an xG (expected goal) of up to 2.8 - three times higher than their opponent.
Barcelona's fighting spirit is also shown through impressive pressing numbers. They have successfully approached Inter 47 times, forcing Inter to lose the ball 23 times. Pedri and Gavi ran a total of more than 24km in the match, demonstrating their tireless efforts.
Barcelona's recent performances have not only brought confidence to fans but also painted a promising future. The winning streak against Real Madrid under Flick is the clearest proof that Barcelona are on the right track. The team possesses the perfect combination of experienced stars and promising young talents.
Flick's extraordinary achievement against Real Madrid deserves respect from even the most demanding people. "Meis que un club" - Not only a club, but also a symbol of an attacking, beautiful and never-ending football philosophy.
Despite not being able to win the Champions League, fans can still be proud of a Barcelona that is loyal to the philosophy of attacking football.
