Hansi Flick relaxed the game in the second half. Barcelona did not have half the effort of the first half. If they had continued the same game, they would have scored even more goals, but what was the point? Hansi Flick was after getting the three points without making the players struggle too much, and that's what happened.
Barcelona's rhythm in the first half was very good, Barcelona feels like they have a 15-20 point difference against Real Madrid right now.
What else do you expects from Barcelona in the second halve because they've already nets goals that would put them infront, Barcelona couldn't pressure more in the second half as they likely did in the first. The difference was made earlier and the visitors, Espanyol couldn't break anything, but managed to net a goal atleadt to cancel cleansheet. Barcelona headcoach, Hansi Flick knows what he's doing, securing back to back winnings and it's very important for them because they're top of the La Liga table. Barcelona are beating all oppositions that cross their paths and we consider that a huge improvement on their ends.
The victory for half of Barcelona underlines the team’s improvement this season. With pressure and an ability to score a goal right at the beginning of the bouts they demonstrated good results; but more intensive pressure in the second half was still lacking. We saw how the team managed their lead wisely, and keep Espanyol as winners as they continued to play their match even after conceding a goal. The power in sustaining the elastc movement proves that the team is capable of playing efficiently and concentrate on the outcome as well.
Ever since Hansi Flick took charge of Barcelona, they have became a very good and stable team. They have also emerged as champions and placed high in La Liga, with promising feelings to the fans. We have an impression that they are getting more confident and stable in each clash, they meet each of the opponents in a serious manner. This is a favourable signal for the strengthening of the team and in terms of confronting the challenges in the league top competition of this year.
