This season, Barcelona won the first match against Madrid by 4-0. It was a completely unexpected result. It was Madrid's home match. And most people considered Madrid to be the favorite in the match. But Madrid played very well. Madrid players did not get any chance to score in the whole match. Although they could score a few goals, the goals were ruled out due to offside. Madrid lost against Hansi Flick's match strategy.
Hansi Flick is a great coach. If Ancelotti wants to win this match, he must understand Hansi Flick's match strategy. And he must find the weaknesses of FLick's strategy. However, FLick applies a different match strategy in almost every match. That is why it will be difficult for Ancelotti to find the weaknesses of FLick's strategy. For the Copa del Rey final, I will consider Barcelona as the favorite.
I still much remember that very game as if it was yesterday. Real Madrid played very well in the first half and had a few couple of chances to score but they couldn't just stay onside, Mbappe recorded his first ever most offside in a game in that very match. He was caught offside 8 times, he recorded 8 offsides alone in that very match, Ancelotti and his men couldn't deal with or should I say they didn't know how to deal with the Barca high line and that made them to be caught offside 10 times. And most of these offside were actually a goal scoring opportunities. Barca broke their defense and netted 4 times without reply on the night.
