FC Barcelona closed a spectacular week with a historic win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid (0-4). The victory against the 'merengues' ratifies the culé supremacy as the best team in Europe
Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona is, without a doubt, the best team in Europe today. The wins against Bayern Munich (4-1) and Real Madrid (0-4) show the superiority of a team that, since the arrival of the German coach, has developed a very offensive and attractive game, at times giving up possession to bet on verticality and tactical order.
In that sense, the culés resolved a very complicated week with authority and good football. The 'little hand' against Sevilla last Sunday (5-1) was the perfect preamble to two stellar performances by the team, a blow on the table nothing more and nothing less than against their 'black beast' of the last decade and the current champion of Europe and LaLiga.
The defeat against Bayern, a blow on the table in Europe
Against the Bavarians, Barça started winning before the minute was up thanks to a great goal from Raphinha, but suffered the siege of the German team in the first 20 minutes, losing the advantage and leaving some doubts in defense. However, after Robert Lewandowski scored 2-1 in the 36th minute, there was only one team on the field.
Raphinha sealed the culé rout with two more goals in the 45th and 56th minutes to definitively put away the European ghosts against a Bayern that ended up completely outclassed in Montjuïc. In this way, the Barça team arrived at a better time for the first Clásico of the season, where a Real Madrid team that had been undefeated in the League for more than a year awaited.

The beating at the Bernabéu ratifies the superiority of a Barça in a state of grace
After a fairly even first half, where the culés showed off impeccable defensive work (Madrid was offside 8 times in the first 45 minutes), Barça unleashed its offensive arsenal in the second half. The introduction of Frenkie de Jong for Fermín López gave the team more freedom in the center of the field and, after the 0-1 score scored by Lewandowski in the 54th minute, Barça was a real storm.
'Lewy' himself, with a header, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha sealed a 0-4 that could have been a much worse beating for the 'merengues'. In Kylian Mbappé's first Clásico, the whites fell into the offside trap 12 times (Bondy's, 8 times) and left the Bernabéu whistled and 6 points behind the LaLiga leader. In Europe, there is no better team than FC Barcelona at the moment.
