Barça wins the Super Cup and Flick puts Deco on the spot:'Now what?'

Once again, the Clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid has delivered a spectacle worthy of the two best teams in the world. It is true that the Premier League has captured all the spotlight in recent years because of its financial power and its thrilling pace, but nobody doubts that the Barça-Madrid rivalry crosses borders. Tonight it has been the Catalans who have taken the victory, although if we analyze this Spanish Super Cup final we will see that the Whites could also have won.

The first half has had everything, and when we say everything we mean that Munuera Montero has signaled the end in the 53rd minute with a 2-2 score on the scoreboard. Xabi Alonso's innovative approach has surprised Hansi Flick's men, who haven't managed to feel comfortable. Despite this, the effectiveness of Raphinha and Lewandowski has served to leave everything open for the second half.

After the break the general pattern has been kept, but with a much more sluggish game from both teams. The tension and nerves were evident, and although there have been many chances, Raphinha has had to appear again to score the decisive goal, the 3-2. Now, in addition to the purely sporting aspect, there is a very important detail in the Barça stands that hasn't gone unnoticed.

Barça wins the Super Cup and Flick puts Deco in a bind:"And now what?"

Flick can boast a new title with FC Barcelona. The German coach is on his way to making history at Camp Nou and this Spanish Super Cup final proves it. He has known how to react to the changes that Xabi prepared and he has made truly interesting decisions, such as the presence of Robert Lewandowski as starting "9".

The Pole has been surrounded by rumors for weeks about his future in the Ciudad Condal. He has lost his starting place in favor of Ferran Torres, or so it seemed, and he also finishes his contract at the end of the current season. However, it seems that Flick has other plans for Robert Lewandowski and Deco will have to act accordingly.

The relationship between Flick and Robert Lewandowski is very good, so much so that the trust between them is absolute, allowing the German coach to make the best decisions for the Catalan team. That's why, although Ferran is normally the starting "9", for Flick the best is still Lewandowski.

Deco, aware of this situation, is surely already planning Robert Lewandowski's contract renewal in case Flick asks him for it. Although it is still early to know what decision the German will make, the Pole has already made it clear that he wants to stay. He believes that he can act as a mentor to the youngest players, although that would condition Barça's planning, so the next meetings between Flick and Deco will be extremely important.
