It is insane how things turned against them and remember how Barcelona was talking about a lifetime contract for Flick... But there is nothing left of what seemed to be one of the best Barcelona teams in a long time. Unbelievable how they have beaten Real Madrid and now it is hard to imagine that they are going to play for the title anymore.
If Atletico wins the game they still have in hand, it is 6 points already and Barcelona is unlikely to have a long winning streak.
I didn't see Hansi Flick on the sidelines yesterday when Barcelona lost at home. Barcelona lost in the final minutes even though throughout the match they really tried to win. Atletico Madrid has good squad depth in defense which allows them to avoid conceding several goals to Barcelona's attackers, but on the other hand, Barcelona was actually unlucky in their home match.
Raphinha, Lewandowski, Fermin, Pedri and several other players had good chances to double the lead, but all failed due to poor finishing. I also found that Barcelona were starting to get weaker in defense and they tended to be easier to break down than at the start of the season.
