FC Barcelona launched its Liga season without sweating too much on Saturday evening. Faced with Mallorca, in a duel that promised to be rather complicated, the Blaugranas quickly made the difference and, in a match still marked by the controversy, found themselves 11 against 9 from the 35th minute of play, while they already led 2-0. Suffice to say that behind, in this context, the Barcelonais have managed rather well and were not too embarrassed by their opponents.
A good start of the championship therefore for the Pedri band which wishes to defend its title, while the individuals of the team are already at the level, like an already brilliant Lamine Yamal. All the Catalans were therefore rather satisfied last night, except one: Hansi Flick. Indeed, the German coach was surprisingly grumpy when he appeared in front of the journalists after the match.
Hansi Flick did not like the match
The German tactician explained that he did not appreciate the match. “I cannot say being satisfied. With two more players, we should have better controlled the meeting and created more opportunities ”he first explained, before continuing: “I didn't like the match. With an advantage of 2-0 and two red for them, the team played 50%, and I did not like that. We can do better. We had to control the ball and the game. Playing 50 or 60% against nine players is not possible. We have to play faster, do better in certain situations ”.
Suffice to say that in the locker room, the players of FC Barcelona have surely also received a beautiful shouting. Anyway, with this success, the Spanish champions in title are already putting pressure on Atlético, which moves to the Espanyol this evening at 9:30 p.m., and especially on Real Madrid, which will welcome Osasuna on Tuesday evening. Already first in the Liga ranking, Barça will no longer want to leave its place.
