Wenger criticized Barcelona s weak performance: lack of maturity and experience, never really threatened Real Madrid s goal

October 27th Former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger commented on last night’s El Clasico in the beINSPORTS studio. He praised Real Madrid’s outstanding performance and criticized Barcelona’s performance as “weak” and inefficient.

"Alonso balanced his team well today, and in some ways, it looked more like a game of adults versus children. For example, Real Madrid's defensive performance was much stronger than Barcelona's. On the offensive end, Real Madrid always looked like they could score another goal, while Barcelona, without Lewandowski and Rafinha, looked weak."

"In the second half, despite Mbappe After missing the penalty, Barcelona had more possession of the ball, but they never really threatened Real Madrid's goal. I must praise Alonso for doing a very good job in the team's defense."

Wenger believed that Barcelona obviously lacked leadership and experience in this game, especially in the absence of Lewandowski and Rafinha, and the impact of Inigo Martinez's departure in the summer.

"You need to focus on balancing your team, re-motivating them and setting higher goals, but as far as Barcelona is concerned, I feel that they have lost an experienced player like Inigo Martinez. Today, you can see that they lack maturity and experience in defense."

Wenger believes that Barcelona "lacks maturity" and is ultimately defeated by stronger opponents. "Barcelona lacks maturity in key moments. In important games, it is crucial to handle these key moments."

"What did Mbappe do? He came on today thinking 'I will run behind the central defender and score a goal at some point' and told his midfielders to pay attention to his movement and positioning every time he got the ball. ."

"Bellingham's passing was very good, and Barcelona did not have such a good player today. In the end, that special talent, vision and decisive running won the game."

At the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Alonso specifically praised Bellingham, who performed well in this game.

"He performed very well against Juventus and today, even in Getafe. He had three very good games and we knew before that he needed time to adapt and find the feeling. His performance after the break exceeded expectations."

"Bellingham is a player who is very good at conveying emotion and driving the team. He has had some very good games."

When asked about the relationship between the two teams before the end of the game. At the time of the conflict, Alonso said: "This is the result of the tension between both sides. This conflict has always existed and is a manifestation of the desire to compete on both sides."

"As long as the conflict is healthy, polite and respectful, we should not be afraid. This is just the tension in important games. We did not give each other too many opportunities, I think this is normal. We should not overemphasize those tense moments. Everything happened in the national derby, and we have another game on Saturday."
