Barcelona is enjoying a remarkable season under German coach Hansi Flick, who has transformed the Catalan team into a formidable force that rivals fear facing.
In their latest match at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Barcelona triumphed over their traditional rival, Real Madrid, winning 4-0 in the eleventh round of the Spanish League.
According to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Flick is thrilled with this decisive victory and the high performance of all the players. The standout performer for Flick was Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, whose substitution was crucial in turning the game around.
Flick was surprised by the immediate impact and quality De Jong brought upon his entry, effectively neutralizing Real Madrid’s midfield with his composed passing and ability to handle pressure.
The report also noted that Flick approached De Jong after the match, assuring him that he would remain in the starting lineup following his outstanding performance against Real Madrid. De Jong is set to replace Spain’s Fermin Lopez in upcoming matches, as Flick believes that the trio of Pedri, De Jong, and Casado will form the best midfield combination in Europe.
