Despite the fact that Barcelona were beaten by Jude Bellingham's late goal in their game against Real Madrid last weekend, I don't think it should make anyone to think that the club is now underperforming because before the commencement of that game, Barcelona were still unbeaten in the Spanish La Liga.
Real Madrid is one of the best clubs not just in Spain but the whole of Europe and has the capability and capacity to beat any side in the league. So losing against them on Saturday shouldn't make anyone think that they aren't good enough to compete for the league and European titles again.
No one will say that they were bad in this match it's just that when El Clasico if one club loses then this will definitely continue to be highlighted because after all this is a derby so El Clasico defeat even if it doesn't really affect the performance to a great extent but still this can also trigger several conditions such as in terms of the players' mentality and performance which must have a little effect especially when we see the stigma that the standings sometimes depend on El Clasico.
Barcelona are still playing very well up until now but indeed the defeat to Barcelona caused a condition where massive speculation took place.
