Hans Dieter Flick works wonders at FC Barcelona. He has brought personality, confidence and charisma to a page so solid it's hard to beat it. And if we win 4-1 Bayern Munich on Wednesday wasn't more than enough to prove it, they just completely humiliated her real Madrid in their own stadium, won 4-0 and played outstanding football.

This is the same Real Madrid that won La Liga and the Champions League last season and was just two games away from the longest ever unbeaten streak in league history. The same team that had just beaten Borussia Dortmund 5-2 and were hoping to draw level with the Catalans at the top of the table. But two goals out Lewandowski and one of each Lamine Yamal And Raphinha All that was soon undone and after some amazing wins this season, including seven goals against Valladolid and five against Sevilla, Villarreal and Young Boys, tonight certainly brought the sweetest win of all.

Historian

Winning a Clásico is not ideal. Especially on the first try. That's something only one of the last five Barça coaches, Tata MartinoHe achieved this in 2013. And it's even more difficult when the first game against Real Madrid takes place at the Bernabéu. Since then, no one has managed that in their first game as Barça coach Terry VenablesThe team won 3-0 in 1984.

But that your team won the first Clásico ever by four goals, and away from home? This is something that has only happened once before and we have to go back to 1926 to find it, when the Austrian Jack Domby (whose real name was actually Richard Kohn) led his Barça team to a 5-1 victory at the old Chamartín Stadium.
