Barcelona Defeats Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico

Joao Cancelo, currently with Al Hilal, expressed deep pride in his brief stint at Barcelona, describing it as a lifelong dream realized. Despite only playing one season, during which he made 42 appearances, he cherishes the experience and the opportunity to play for a club he has always admired. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's Federico Valverde acknowledged Barcelona's superior performance in their recent 4-0 El Clasico victory, a match he described as particularly painful for Madrid. Valverde praised Barcelona's maturity in managing the game after taking the lead and recognized that the loss underscored their tactical execution. He noted the importance of acknowledging when the opposing team outplays them, emphasizing Barcelona's strong second-half performance. Valverde's comments come as Barcelona sits six points clear at the top of La Liga under the management of Hansi Flick, marking a significant turnaround from a trophyless season last year.
