Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was thrilled as his team delivered a stunning 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in Saturday’s El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Robert Lewandowski led the charge with two goals early in the second half, powering Barcelona to a memorable win and extending their lead at the top of La Liga to six points.
Barcelona ended Real Madrid’s 42-game unbeaten run in La Liga, just one game short of matching their own all-time record, making the victory even sweeter.

“I’m delighted to be working at Barcelona and to live in Barcelona. It’s a fantastic job, I’m very happy… We have played a fantastic game and I am so proud,”
“We pressed better with and without the ball. We had more possession and that’s why the game changed. The defensive effort was key. We have trained a lot how to defend with a high line and on how we want to press on the ball. It’s also important not to leave spaces when you play Real Madrid because they have incredible players”
“I think we are doing well. We are sticking to our idea and right now we are fluid, and we want to move forward,” Flick added.
Barcelona is leading the table with 30 points, having won 10 out of 11 matches in La Liga so far. Up next, they face Espanyol on November 3.
