Barcelona lost El Clásico 2-1 to Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday in another depressing day for Barça fans, but it was far from a walk in the park from Los Blancos as some may have expected. Barça competed hard and deserved more from the game, and for the first time in a while Ronald Koeman did most things right as a coach.
Barça started the game in a 4-3-3 formation with a few personnel tweaks: Eric García started on the right side of the center-back pairing with Gerard Piqué, and Frenkie De Jong went from his usual role on the right side of the midfield three to the left, with Gavi in his place.
