Real Madrid was left with a resounding victory in the first Clásico of the season after a dominant performance in the second half in which, after receiving a penalty from Juan Martínez Munuera, the whites came back. The game ended 3-1, but Zinedine Zidane’s men had several chances to make the score even more forceful.
After the match, Ronald Koeman was not happy with the refereeing performance: “The penalty decision decided the match, I don’t understand VAR,” he said. However, his Barça team produced nothing. They made the same exhibition that they did against Sevilla (1-1 draw) and Getafe (1-0 defeat). In fact, of the possible 15 points, they have obtained seven.
The Dutch coach surprised many with his team. On the bench was Antoine Griezmann, with youngsters in the starting eleven such as Ansu Fati, who scored his only goal, and Pedri, who earned his place after a good performance against Ferencvaros but did not make much of an impact in the Classic.
The blaugrana conceded the second goal in the 63rd minute and it was a blow. There was no reaction, they were at the mercy of their opponents and Koeman struggled to react. There were no tactical changes and the first substitution, a triple substitution in fact, came in the 81st minute. Ansu Fati gave way to Griezmann, Pedri to Francisco Trincao and Sergio Busquets to Ousmane Dembele. Five minutes later, Jordi Alba, clearly tired after returning from an injury that had left him out for three weeks, was replaced by Martin Braithwaite.
They are now 12th in the table, although they have played two fewer games. His game has not improved from last season, a season that ended without trophies. In addition, they travel to Juventus on Wednesday without Gerard Piqué and with the possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo.
It’s a tough situation for Koeman, who must react before it is too late and before there are no chances of winning titles.
