Hi community!
In addition to making the players see that they must look forward, Hansi Flick and Raphinha took the opportunity to calm things down after the post-match brawl.
Barça's visit to the Santiago Bernabéu was quite difficult for the Barça players to digest, both due to what happened during the Clásico and the brawl that broke out at the end of the match. The Barça players arrived in the visiting locker room in high spirits, and in this regard, the support they received from both coach Hansi Flick and one of the captains and key figures of the squad, Brazilian Raphinha, was very important.

Both missed the Clásico for different reasons. The coach was serving a suspension after being sent off in the derby against Girona and had to watch the match from one of the radio booths in the upper part of the stadium. The player, meanwhile, has not improved significantly from his hamstring injury and logically did not make the squad, but, like the good captain he is, decided to accompany the team in such an important match.
Aware of the players' state of mind after the defeat and the provocations directed at Lamine by players like Carvajal, Courtois, and Vinicius at Lamine Yamal at the end of the Clásico, both Hansi Flick and Raphinha went into the locker room to offer encouraging and very constructive messages.
Both players sought to "lift" the squad after the defeat and were the key players in a difficult moment. It was a very positive tone, acknowledging the mistakes that had occurred during the match, but also making it clear that this is not a definitive decision and that there is still plenty of room for error and time. They emphasized that only three points were lost and that they must look forward.
See You soon!
