They were already talking about giving Flick a lifetime contract, but everyone who knows the Spanish press now also knows what the headlines will be these days and that is going to be quite the opposite of what they said a month ago.
I know that time will come where media will start speaking against anyone they praised for their performance, because time will come where any coach will have bad time in their coaching career despite the good players in their squad, and same thing is now happening to Barcelona because I see that they have given Real Madrid a chance to overtake them in the Laliga table because I am sure Ancelloti will make sure his team do their best to win all their next coming games because this is an opportunity for them to take the lead because they have one outstanding match, and if they win all, they will lead by two points.
That's life for you. A club will receive accolades for playing well and winning games. The media and fans will criticize a club that is underperforming. Barca has not won a La Liga game in three matches and that's not encouraging. Real Madrid is now four points below Barcelona but Los Blancos still have two games at hand. You are correct that if they win these games they will move two points above Barca which will now make them favorites to win the league. But we cannot conclude the outcome of the season because there are still more games to play.
Las Palmas surprised everyone today. Many gamblers would lose bets today because this match was unpredictable.Barca had more shots on target but the visitors maximized the little they had.
