Even a 12-point gap in the table does not interfere with the celebrations of Barcelona, who defeated Real Madrid 0: 4 at the Santiago Bernabeu yesterday (Sunday).
The luxury team that is going through a difficult season has proven that it is still here, and it is worth the wait with the eulogies.
After the game, Pique wrote on social media, "We're back," and it seems to symbolize more than anything last night about Barcelona.
On the cover of the Mundo Deportivo is written: "Barça back - its display at the Bernabeu when it smashed Madrid - proved it. The humiliation was complete, with a clear superiority that broke three bad years."

The Catalan newspaper Sport wrote: "A pleasure to win again. Barça came back with an effective victory: Real Madrid was humiliated at home, Xavi's team took a victory in style."
We are back.

After the game, Barcelona player Eric Garcia was documented teasing Vinicius Jr., who played a weak game as he shouted at him: "Hi you, next year's Golden Ball winner."

"We were in control throughout every game. The players here are like family," Xavi said after the game and admitted he was surprised by his team's dominance in the Clasico.
"I am proud and happy, and the Barcelona fans should enjoy this victory. We have shown ourselves that we can face any team. We are leaving Madrid with a smile from ear to ear."
However the coach admitted that he does not believe his team has a chance to compete for the championship this season.

On the other hand, coach Carlo Ancelotti took responsibility for the defeat and said: "I started with a certain set that did not fit yesterday. I'm sorry for the fans but we have to look ahead. I tried to push forward but it did not work. It's my fault. A loss in the Clasico against Barcelona is always "It hurts. We have to stay calm. We must not make a drama out of it. Everything went wrong for us tonight and I told the players that it was my fault."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
