Maybe Ronald Koeman should have been given more time, due to a number of injured players in Barca at the time, maybe his sacking was not handled well, but no one can claim that Barcelona would look and play like this under the Dutchman. President Juan Laporta made a fantastic call and changed one Barca legend with another one and it worked. After just 140 days at the helm of the Catalonians, former Barca midfielder completely changed the club: the atmosphere is great, the mood is different, his team is playing offensive football again…oh, and they are winning in El Clasico again. Pardon, not only winning, they are dominating. Or maybe humiliating is the right word when you beat great Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu 4-0?Xavi’s coronation in El Clasico, as ruthless Barca embarrass Real on their soilAfter Sunday’s derby, the situation at the table is pretty much the same, as Real is 9 points ahead of Barcelona, who are still third (but can surpass Seville), and Madrid has advanced in the Champions League knockout stage while Barca is playing in Europa League but…The momentum definitely belongs to Barcelona, after a long time. Xavi has brought joy to the supporters and his players destroyed their bitter rival on their ground. It was 4-0 in the end, but it could have been more. “It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen Real Madrid do in my life. In 24 years that I have been coming to the Bernabeu, it is the first time that I have left before my time” said one of many fans who left the stadium in the 55th minute, fearing that 4-0 won’t be the final score. Congrats @FCBarcelona 🤛🏼It was a pleasure to watch this amazing performance tonight. Chapeau 😉👏🏻 https://t.co/zTJT1EmDp1— Thomas Müller (@esmuellert_) March 20, 2022 And coincidentally, Xavi agreed with Real’s fan. „We have struck a blow on the table and we have said that we are coming back. We have been much superior to Real Madrid, we have been better and we could have scored more goals. We played a spectacular game at their stadium. we always work for this, but it’s true that we didn’t expect such a great result or to be so superior, and we also arrived very tired after the return from Turkey. We will celebrate, but then we will think about Sevilla. We have to keep working, since we’ve won a game, but it’s not a title. It is a day to enjoy, I am the Barca coach, but I am a Barca fan and these experiences are spectacular. We had a time without joys like this and we have to enjoy them” said Barca coach after the game. Hello from the finished player 🔵🔴 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/MUPmsznoup— AUBA⚡️ (@Auba) March 21, 2022 Even their opponents took to the social media to congratulate them, along with former players, who were all thriled with that they saw. ’It’s official, Barca is back in business’ said England’s legend Gary Lineker on his Twitter. And another player had it’s day in the social media. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks and plays like a 22 year old since arriving in Barcelona and he showed his skills with two goals and the assist in El Clasico. The Gabon striker became the first player to be directly involved in three goals in his first appearance in El Clasico in all competitions in the 21st century and he was quick to post a tweet to all who doubted him, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta in particular. Barcelona are back in business, but so is Auba.
