Despite the victory, a state of regret dominated the elements of Barcelona, despite the broad victory that the team achieved against its traditional rival, Real Madrid.
Barcelona won a precious 4-0 victory over its arch-rivals Real Madrid, during the match that brought them together, on Sunday, at the Santiago Bernabeu, in the 29th round of the Spanish League.
The Catalan team scored its 4 goals after only 51 minutes of the match, before wasting a torrent of easy opportunities in the remaining 39 minutes.
Spaniard Sergio Busquets, captain of Barcelona, confirmed that the Catalan team could have scored more goals during the match, but the players missed that opportunity.
Busquets said in televised statements after the match: “This was our goal from the beginning, not at the level of the result, but also to provide the game that we wanted, to have possession of the ball and extract it in the opponent’s areas. It was a great night, and we could have scored more goals.” .
He added: “We knew that if things went well for us, we could come out with a result like this. We had the ball in the Super Cup match, but then they benefited from the counter-attack, but today we controlled things well.”
The 33-year-old also explained that despite the difficulty of the task in the competition for the League, by 12 points away from Real, it may be reduced to 9 in the event of a victory over Rayo Vallecano in the postponed match, but the team will continue to compete until the end as long as the matter is not finished mathematically.
And he concluded his statements: “If we have the least possible opportunity to compete, we will play for it. Yes, it is very difficult, but everything can happen in football. We must go step by step, beginning with the rise to second place, which we will play against Seville after the international break. Big ambitions must be considered.
