Xavi’s Barcelona remembered … Xavi’s Barcelona, ​​​​who even celebrated in the “Santiago Bernabeu” and with in the Clasico 4-0 on the unrecognizable Real showed his true level of play.

Pierre Emerick Obameyang with two goals and Ronald Araούjo and Ferran Torres with one scored from the 51st minute, although the “Blaugrana” are wrong about their reach and could punish the unacceptable evening of the possible Liga champions with more goals.

She was brought in by her trainer

Carlo Ancelotti chose a 4-1-4-1 formation with Rodrigo in front and Tony Kroos pushing from behind and Vinicius on the left using his speed. On the left he placed Federico Valverde, a player who performed well in Clasico but in a different line-up and in different conditions. Xavi’s only change was to prefer Ronald Araούjo to 38-year-old Danny Alves over Vinicius.

Unlike in previous years, Barcelona were the ones who grabbed their opponent’s throat in the opening minutes. Only the “Merengues”, who, despite their role as hosts, lined up with the completely black appearance, did not offer any resistance. They left unexplained gaps in the center and defense, which were exploited by the visitors’ fast players.

4-0 is unfair to Barcelona

Obamayang scored in the 29th minute after a four-on-four from Vinicius that saw the Brazilian call for a penalty (the VAR showed he wasn’t) and a little later Araούjo’s header made it 2-0. Both goals from the assist of the active Usman Dembele, the first Barcelona player with two assists in the 1st half of the Clásico by… his coach in the famous 6-2 13 years ago.

Thibaut Courtois saved a major score on at least two occasions, but by the 51st minute the score was already 4-0. At the start of the 2nd part, Torres failed in a unique foursome, but in 47′ he got his blood back. In the 51st minute, Real’s entire defense stopped believing Obamayang was offside, Gabonezos thanked him and hung Courtois to make it 4-0.

First win in three years

Ancelotti had withdrawn Kroos for Eduardo Camavinga and Danny Carvajal for Mariano Diaz, but Real’s image hasn’t changed at all. After the 4-0, Barcelona were the ones who came out comfortably in the opponent’s big space and missed chances. Obamayang could score a hat-trick, Torres could score another goal, and when Memphis Depay came on as a substitute, he could also become the top scorer. All of this forced many Real fans to leave the field in the 60s.

The arrival of Lucas Bathketh and Marco Asensio evened things out somewhat, with Xavi giving Danny Alves the opportunity (at left-back) to return to that field to make his 400th appearance as a Barcelona player. Real didn’t even react to the Catalans’ attack and now Ancelotti is reported to respond if just Benzema’s absence is enough for that image.

Barcelona went 13 straight games without defeat, won the Clasico after three years and five straight La Liga defeats, proving that maybe the goal situation would be completely different if they started the season with Xavi.
