The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that the comparison between Hans Flick, Barcelona's coach, and Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's coach, shows identical statistics during their first 34 matches each, but ended with differing results due to the difference in the level of confidence and support from the presidents of the two clubs.

Flick recorded with Barcelona 24 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, which are the same statistics achieved by Alonso with Real Madrid, but they led them to different paths, as the German coach settled at Barcelona and achieved clear successes, while Alonso was dismissed after the Spanish Super Cup from Madrid due to loss of confidence in his project.

The newspaper pointed out that Flick succeeded in building a competitive team and a clear attacking identity in record time, while Alonso suffered from the pressures of high expectations and lack of sufficient support from the royal administration. The difference between the two approaches stands out in how the two clubs dealt with their coaches' projects, as Barcelona gave their coach Flick full confidence, while Real Madrid tried to rely on a quick impact from Alonso without waiting for long-term results.

The report added that performance in El Clásico was a pivotal factor, as Flick achieved great results against Real Madrid, while the loss against Barcelona directly affected Alonso's fate, which highlights the importance of confidence and administrative stability in the success of coaches, even when their technical numbers are identical.

The report confirmed that the difference between the fate of Flick and Alonso is not in the numbers, but in the support and vision provided by each club president, which explains how two careers with identical results can end in completely different ways.
