There is no greater friend than the enemy of your enemy, or so the saying goes. While institutional relations may be far from smooth between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, Los Rojiblancos definitely enjoyed the latter’s performance on Sunday night in Spanish Supercup final.
Just minutes after Real Madrid were downed 5-2 in emphatic fashion by Barcelona, Atletico took to social media to rub Los Blancos’ proverbial noses in it. Whenever five goals are scored in Spain, it generally calls for the ‘manita‘, or little hand, something players tend to hold up after doing so. It was a custom popularised by Gerard Pique during his heyday.
Just minutes after the final whistle, Atletico’s official Twitter/X account posted a picture of Cesar Azpilicueta with a manita of his own, with hte simple caption ‘Have a nice weekend’. All is well at the Metropolitano, who confirmed themselves as winter champions on Sunday after a 1-0 win over Osasuna, lifting them a point clear of Los Blancos and six clear of Barcelona.

I didn't blame anybody but the Ancelotti whom does not have any idea on how to stop Barcelona team, as a coach . In fact, Ancelotti is using an outdated catalogue of patterns or formation of play. Madrid need a younger coach that that can transform the team in term style of play, playing as a team not as individuals playing for personal glory. Real Madrid has players but does not have a team.
