This is what we learned from the match between Barcelona and Madrid on Sunday.

Ronald Koeman is under immense pressure

Ronald Koeman was under pressure for a while, and the defeat to Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday is only going to increase calls for Barcelona to sack him. The Dutchman is not very popular among the fans, and defeat to Barcelona’s arch rivals in front of 86,000 fans at Camp Nou has put him in real trouble.

David Alaba is a bargain signing

Alaba joined Madrid in the summer of 2021 on a free transfer following his departure from Bayern Munich. The 29-year-old is a world-class footballer and is a player at the top of his game. The Austria international is fast proving to be the bargain signing of the summer of 2021. Alaba has been brilliant at centre-back, and as he showed against Barcelona, he is very good going on the attack and scoring goals.

Sergio Aguero can revive Barcelona

Sergio Aguero scored his first goal for Barcelona. It was a close-range effort that showed the Argentine striker’s intelligence and sharpness. The former Manchester City star has only just recovered from injury. And he came on as a substitute against Madrid in El Clasico. And scored. Aguero is a proven goalscorer, and he could revive Barcelona.
