MADRID, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski netted a rapid double early in the second half, setting the stage for a dominant 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, ending the hosts’ 42-game unbeaten streak in LaLiga in an electrifying Clasico on Saturday. The Polish forward struck twice within three minutes, followed by 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, who became the youngest scorer in a Clasico, before captain Raphinha completed the rout late on at a shocked Bernabeu.
What a powerful message from Hansi Flick!
Just a week ago, there were still skeptics regarding Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, even among those close to the Camp Nou. Some suggested that the team had yet to face a genuine challenge.
However, after a convincing 4-1 victory over Bayern in the Champions League and a 4-0 win at the Bernabeu, there can be no doubt about the German coach’s capabilities.
Given how low the team’s morale was at the end of last season, one could argue that no other Barcelona coach has made such a remarkable impact in their first three months at the club.
