Barça accelerates climate change | Relief

Climate change has never been more evident than today in Montjuïc as Hansi Flick’s Barça transformed the autumn night. The curtains and blinds are lowered on one of those spring nights that the cooler misses so much. Raphinha said that on the eve of the game there was no revenge, that today was a different story. but it was enough for the Brazilian to come out with a V for Vendetta mask to remind those who dared to denigrate him that even he himself does not know what he hides under the mask. A bit like Barça, who rushed onto the field not believing that the score was 1-0, not believing that they could play the way they ended up playing. What is this Barça hiding?

Hansi Flick understood the club from all its depth, even without speaking Spanish. Not understanding the environment, the commotion brewing, or whatever was being said that was affecting the team so much. Only with a sincere intention to restore everything that Barça must do consciously, without resorting to fears or traumas, even with the risk that this entails. While some were whispering that “oh 2-8”, “oh these defeats”, Flick placed the defensive line 50 meters away and ripped out everything that was tormenting him from the player’s memory. From the 20th minute onwards and after Pedri and Lamin Yamal started to interact, neither player doubted that they were the better team. And in football, it’s not only what it is, but also what you feel that matters. Flick is a master of making the second win over the first.

This Barça is a beautiful paradox. This is because in the childhood of Kubarsi or Lamina, children still at the age of a baby and sleep, they gain competitive experience that should not exist, the knowledge of how to resolve difficult situations of tension and inferiority that destroy the mind. In a logical world, it wouldn’t make sense for a teenager to constantly dribble with one of the best athletes in the world of football like Davies, but there’s no immutable axiom about Lamine because he’s just a gamer. You look at this and understand everything. Tree of Truth.

The game changed in the 20th minute, it was at this moment that Pedri began to attract, hide and record, understanding that if a rival puts pressure on your man, then the only way out is talent, deception and expectation. The man who was said to make horizontal passes and that football had “passed him by” in 2024 turned the sport into a simple child’s game with support and feints that shut down Bayern into hitherto unseen spaces have not disappeared. become obvious. Good players do logical things with precision, great players, those who go beyond the limits, make the unthinkable simple. Pedri and Lamin, each in their own language, turned suffering into fun.

Mark Casado decided that the resemblance to Kimmich should go further. The best way to achieve this is to play like the German in front of him, leaving Joshua, who came in full of energy, a shadow of what he is. Casado is a Dementor, and Kimmich had to suffer from this: he was running out of strength when the young player began to run, bite and play smart. Now it is a small engine of infinite energy that moves and thinks quickly and never ends up where it shouldn’t be. Welcome back Gavi, Casado put on the suit and told Kimmich that maybe the next step would be for him to be someone who should look like Mark. Football moves very quickly.

Everyone asks something about football. Some always win, no matter the cost. To another company. I ask for entertainment, so that it excites me and allows me to use matches as paperweights of time, so that when I look back in 15 years, I remember that October 23rd as a match between Barça and Bayern, and there the result was never surpassed, and yes , what the game leaves in your body. And this Barça of Flick inspires by doing worthwhile things. I don’t care what this team wins at the end of the season; already in the fall I felt spring allergies again, that indivisible sign of football that lives.
