Gabriel Sans reports on coach Hansi Flick’s tactics to fix errors after two consecutive defeats.
Flick refreshed the squad and changed the midfield setup by replacing two attacking midfielders with a natural pairing of Marc Bernal and Frenkie de Jong. This decision proved successful: both midfielders scored goals, showing strong personal impact.
Marc Bernal is returning to form after a long knee injury absence and is once again a key figure, providing balance, order, and crucial goals. He opened the scoring as early as the 3rd minute, marking the earliest goal for Barcelona this season.
Frenkie de Jong also became a leading player in attack, scoring his first goal of the season assisted by Joao Cancelo. This was his first goal in almost a year. Yet beyond scoring, de Jong’s role as the main ball distributor remains vital.
Both midfielders discussed with Flick the importance of joining the attack’s second lines, which positively influenced the team’s offensive performance.
