On Saturday night, it was Barcelona that took the crown jewels in El Clasico, following an unequivocal 3-0 triumph over Real Madrid in Dallas.
Goals from Ousmane Dembele, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres guaranteed the gloating privileges for Barcelona, and Real Madrid will be disheartened to have lost, particularly taking into account the chances that they had, and afterward they failed to take.
Dani Carvajal captained Real Madrid on the evening, and he conceded that he and his partners had an extremely challenging night against Barcelona.
“We started the game poorly. We grew into the game but could not finish our chances.
“The result determines the success. I think we did many things well. We are adapting to a new system. In the end, we didn’t succeed in front of the goal.”
Carlo Ancelotti has decided on a 4-4-2 diamond system during pre-season, and it has worked for Real Madrid against AC Milan and Manchester United together. In any case, it positively didn’t have all the earmarks of finding lasting success against Barcelona, and the players and training staff will expect to figure their issues out in front of the new season.
