Barça lost a match against Real Madrid that they seemed to have control over, but which they let slip away due to small details of the game. This has been explained by several of the most influential players in the Barça dressing room, who have expressed their criticism of certain aspects of the team's game

The FC Barcelona in the party of the past Saturday against the Real Madrid faced a meeting complicated. Although there are not alarms after the defeat, since the season hardly begins and there is a recent precedent (campaign 2022/2023) in which it lost the first party against the whites and even so it won the trophy of LaLiga, is evident the desazón in the changing room by the defeat by the minimum in front of the eternal rival.

It is comprehensible that any defeat weigh, but the fact that it have been in a Classical and in a party that the culés controlled from the first minutes, so much at stake as in the marker after the goal of Ilkay Gündogan to the minute six, but in which the merengues, by means of Jude Bellingham, attained to turn into annotation two of the three finish between the three sticks, generated greater frustration.

What has been missing him to the Barça according to the veterans of the club?

As it informed in 'SPORT', varied of the veterans of the Barça coincide in an idea on why escaped them the party: "it was missing a point of maturity from the minute 60". This approach has all the sense, since after a first-half arrolladora of the Catalan cast, with a goal of the German midfield player and a shot to the stick of Fermín, deserved to have a wider advantage.

However, in the second half the approach of the FC Barcelona desmoronó. The changes of Ancelotti worked very well and, lamentably for the Barcelona, the changes of Xavi, that in theory were hit, did not answer of the suitable way. This, added to the 'sablazo' of the English midfield player to the service of the whites that empató the party and produced of unexpected way, bent the scales in favour of the Real Madrid.

In front of this, the most experienced players, led among others by Gündogan, the one who has been the more autocrítico up to now, coincide in that the team had to show greater intelligence to face the last half hour of game. They stand out the need to control the party by means of pauses and long possessions, a resource that have thrown in fault in several occasions to close the meetings.
