Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was a happy man after seeing his team beat Dortmund 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Goals from Raphinha and a brace from substitute Ferran Torres secured a good win for the Catalans, leaving Flick to praise his side.
“We can be very happy with what we did, as we believed. The first half was wonderful and in the second half, when they scored, we were stable,” he told reporters.
“Suffering is not the right word. Dortmund played very well. They are fantastic players who have a very high tempo, but we did well. The goals happened because we made mistakes. We can always improve, but today I have to say congratulations to the team because they did great.”
“The positive thing was the ball possession in the first half. We played calmly. When we made the changes with Fermín and Ferran they were direct.”
Flick also played down fears about Raphinha after taking off the Brazilian in the second half and insisted his captain “is not injured.”
Next up are games against Leganes and Atletico Madrid – two games which will see Flick forced to watch from the sidelines due to his two-game ban.
