Revenge accomplished. Barça has humilliated Bayern Munich, which has swallowed the arrogance with which they had arrived in Barcelona.
Not every day is a party and this Barça is a different one. In addition, Hansi Flick is on the right side and now humiliations change direction.
Barça has given a thorough beating to a Bayern Munich that seemed looked small next to its rival.
Nobody will Ask for the Ballon d'Or for Raphinha. Marketing is Biased in Madrid's Favor
The match ended with cheers from the crowd after the 4-1 scoreline, with goals from Lewandowski and a hat-trick from Raphinha, who has been huge this season.
Nobody will ask for the Ballon d'Or for him, because the marketing behind these things is controlled from Madrid. However, nobody can best the performance that the Brazilian from Barça is offering.
It wasn't just Raphinha. Barça put on a show of teamwork. An excellent Pedri, a decisive Fermín, a brilliant Lamine Yamal, an effective Casadó, etc.
Barça has obliterated Bayern and settled the score. Flick has earned the forgiveness of the culers in turn.
Raphinha, the MVP of the game thanks to his hat trick, has sent a taunting message to Real Madrid.
He did it three days before the classic, taking advantage of the euphoric state he was in after the victory against Bayern.
The Champions League Finalists
This is what he said to the Movistar+ microphones:
-"A very happy night. I'm very happy with what we did. I think we played a very good game as a team.
"This is the most important thing. We have achieved our second victory in the Champions League. We have to think about Saturday's match and prepare well."
"This match could have been a Champions League final. Having been able to win this way in front of our fans is quite special."
"I think what we're doing on the field answers any questions."
"I'll stick with the three goals; All four, rather. Robert's goal was quite important."
"El Clásico looks like it will be a very good match. It is one of the best in the world. I think that what Madrid did yesterday and what happened today shows that it will be a great match."
