FC Barcelona fans might be in a good mood. Their favorite club won the main match against Real Madrid with a score of 2:1. After the game, the Pride of Catalonia coach praised the team, adding that it goes beyond Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona ended the weekend in a great mood. After a good match at the Camp Nou, they beat Real Madrid 2-1.

Over time, the rivals made up for losses thanks to Sergi Roberto, and in stoppage time, Frank Kessy gave the team a victory and increased the lead over the biggest rival.
Javi Hernandez happy after El Clasico victory
Barca coach Javi Hernandez was pleased with the mood of the team. His players were ahead of their opponents both in the most important issue - the number of goals, and in shots on target or in possession of the ball. The victory over Real Madrid is also a psychological consolation before the international break and another fight for the Spanish championship.
“This victory is a step forward and I am very happy for the players. There is an extraordinary atmosphere. But we do not feel like champions,” he said at a press conference after the match, quoted by TVP Sport.
Barcelona coach on Robert Lewandowski
There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about the poor performance of Robert Lewandowski. The captain of the Polish national team did not shine, as the fans were used to. There were voices about the decline of the form and the search for causes. Although the striker finished El Clasico goalless, one of his passes was decisive for the final goal of the match, giving Barcelona the win. Xavi stressed that Pride of Catalonia is not limited to individual players, but to all the players that make up the team.
“I am proud of the way the team works. We count not only on Lewandowski, Pedri, Dembele… We were mature, responsible. Today I am proud, - said the Spanish coach after the match.
