“They can never be like us”

Victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu has always been a special pleasure for Barcelona. This time the Blaugranas won with a convincing score of 0:4, recalling those classic games when the superiority of the culés welcomed the arrival of Barça.

Pique is happy that Barca is working again

Goals from Robert Lewandowski, who scored a brace, as well as those from Raphinha and young prodigy Lamin Yamal, demonstrated the strength and dynamism of a team that, in addition to quality, demonstrated the formative character that has characterized the Catalans for decades. . In fact, the performances of Marc Casado and Pau Kubarsi, two of La Masia’s newest gems, made it clear that this project is still in great shape.

Flick, who clearly relies on the youngest players, has been instrumental in getting Barca back to playing with the intensity and quality that made them famous worldwide. His commitment to youth is not an emergency resource, but a clear strategy that reinforces the values ​​of identity and pride that, as Pique points out, many see as setting Barcelona apart.

This victory, as a tribute to the past, recalled those handyman that Pique enjoyed so much during his time on the Bernabeu pitch. That open-handed celebration that once symbolized a resounding victory and Barca’s hierarchy appears to be heading for a repeat.
