FC Barcelona, which has experienced one of the most difficult seasons in recent years, marked by the absence of Argentine Lionel Messi, struck a coup of authority on March 20, winning 4-0 over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. As Xavi, technical director of the Catalan team, narrated later, neither did he expect to be so superior to his rival, leader of LaLiga Santander and not one of the favorites to stay with the Champions League, by eliminating PSG from the round of 16.

The victory of the blaugrana club generated so much excitement that its followers did not hide happiness on social networks, even though the three points scored little affect those led by Carlo Ancelotti, who is twelve units ahead of him and who will be difficult to snatch the tip of the local tournament. Such is the case of Shakira, the Colombian singer, who spared no praise for her husband, Gerard Pique.

On Twitter, the barranquillera posted:

Although some liked the singer's publication, others, probably Real Madrid fans, disliked it, especially because of her left hand gesture alluding to number four. “If he doesn't let you say those things, it's because he had been losing 6 classics and he started all of them, we must also remember that the boat is 12 points in the league...”, commented user Randy Abrahan Gerder.

Happiness for Barcelonism

“I am happy, happy, satisfied with all the Barcelonismo. It can change the dynamics of the present and the future. We searched for the back of their insides. We've had personality. Courage. I asked them not to lose silly balls. We've had the game under control. The locker room is a family. You can compete by playing this way.”

Barcelona can compete with anyone

“I don't have to qualify anything. I'm proud and happy. Barcelonismo must enjoy it. We have told ourselves that this is the path and the project. We have shown ourselves that we can compete with anyone. We work for these fruits. But we didn't expect to be so superior in their stadium. We were hoping for a more open match. I am very happy.”

It was a big blow, but not a goal

“You have to keep working, it's not a title. We have to be humble, we celebrate it today and then we have to rest and think about Sevilla. That's three more points. I don't think we can win LaLiga, it's very difficult. But today is a big blow. The objectives have not yet been met. We have to continue.”

Glory is not personal, but group

“I feel this club and I'm going to celebrate and enjoy it. I'm enjoying myself. Winning 0-4 reinforces me. I'm a rookie, no doubt. Barcelona must compete playing this way, but I don't need any glory. I don't feel a personal victory, it's a group victory, a team, a family victory, a Barcelonismo victory. I don't want personal glory, I want it for the Barça family.”
