The Barcelona and Brazilian football legend, the famous Rivaldo, shared his thoughts on the problems Barcelona is facing. He also commented on the state of Real Madrid and the chances both teams have in the most important competitions.After Barcelona’s 4-4 draw against Atletico Madrid, the Brazilian praised Hansi Flick’s attacking tactics. However, what concerns him the most is the team’s vulnerable defense.Barca and Atleti share spoils in spectacular eight-goal thriller of the season!“It is important to pay more attention. I think Flick must correct the defensive errors if he wants to have a chance of winning titles this season. Luckily, the team was able to score four goals against Atlético, but conceding four is worrying. Barcelona are playing very well but I don’t remember the last time they conceded four goals in this way . Therefore, I think it is necessary that these errors are not repeated in the next matches, which will be decisive for the success of the season.”Rivaldo: “Lewandowski, Yamal, and Raphinha have everything to be a historic trio at Barcelona. The way they play shows the team is united, connected, and without egos.” pic.twitter.com/WLXpRKa7h1— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) February 5, 2025 The 1999 Ballon d’Or winner also spoke about the match itself, which was more than exciting, and what can be expected from both teams in the second leg.“Everyone likes football matches with lots of goals, but surely when there are so many it is because there were many defensive errors . A match of this level has the creativity of some of the best players in the world, but a result like this is surprising. Luckily for both teams, it ended in a draw. But what if one team had been more successful defensively? It could have been 4-0 or 4-2. A game like this, which ended 4-4, shows that everything is still open . For me, both Barcelona and Atlético have a chance of winning and qualifying. In other words, a 50% chance for each of them, even though it will be played now at the Metropolitano. The first leg showed that, that the tie is very even”, added Brazilian.Ancelotti: “He can reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo”Finally, Rivaldo did not hold back when discussing Barcelona’s biggest rival, Real Madrid. He specifically highlighted Los Blancos’ attacking trio and the work Carlo Ancelotti is doing on the bench.“They have gone through some difficult moments this season, but it was known that sooner or later the team would find its rhythm . Ancelotti has managed to put the pieces together, knowing how to place each player in their position. The players are relaxed and happy . Mbappé, Vini and Rodrygo are at a great level. And for me, they are once again a strong candidate for the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey. I congratulate Ancelotti for managing this team, with so many stars”, concluded Rivaldo.##NAJAVA_MECA_8737244##
