Simplicity is genius; The rise of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona

I’m still lost for words, as I expect are many other culers.

Barcelona came, they saw and they absolutely destroyed Real Madrid. Yes, destroyed.

Let’s not forget the narrative and the hoo-ha surrounding the lead up to Saturday’s El Clasico.

How Jude Bellingham was going to find the form that had deserted him so far this season, how the pace and trickery of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr would see Barca put to the sword... yada yada.

Well, clearly those of a Los Blancos persuasion didn’t countenance on the superior tactical skills of the quiet mastermind Hansi Flick.
