A Barcelona Key Player After Losing to Real Madrid: Enjoy It—This Is the Last Time They Beat Us This Season

On October 26, after Real Madrid defeated Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, they widened the points gap with Barça to 5 points, sparking more doubts about Barcelona’s strength this season.
However, a heavyweight figure within the team made it clear that this situation will not happen again.

Undeniably, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona did not perform at their best at Real Madrid’s home ground. Despite having a high possession rate, they failed to create many real scoring chances apart from a few attacking opportunities.

In contrast, Xabi Alonso’s team posed more threats on the counterattack. Barcelona is plagued by severe injuries, with as many as seven players sidelined: Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, Joan García, Gavi, Andreas Christensen, and Marc-André ter Stegen. Additionally, two key players are in poor form—Lamine Yamal is far from his best due to pubic bone pain, and Pedri is fatigued by injuries.

Although the players in Barcelona’s dressing room acknowledged they could have achieved a better result at their arch-rival’s home, they reluctantly accepted the defeat.

Celebrations from Real Madrid players like Dani Carvajal and Vinícius Júnior could be heard from their dressing room. At that moment, a heavyweight figure from Barcelona suddenly shouted loudly: “Enjoy it while it lasts—this will be the last time they beat us this season.”

While the identity of the speaker has not been disclosed, insiders confirmed that the player is a key starter who usually refrains from making such remarks. His words received an enthusiastic response from teammates, who firmly believe the team will soon return to the top, just like last season.
