Hansi Flick put on his most satisfied smile – and immediately planned the next big victory after his coup against FC Bayern. “Real,” said the FC Barcelona coach before his first Clasico in Madrid, “is also a team that nominally has some of the best players at its disposal. Nevertheless, I believe that we can achieve a lot with this team, with this attitude and this team spirit can compensate.”
After all, his Barca also have “a certain quality,” said Flick, “we showed that today and we want to implement it on Saturday too.” Then (9 p.m. / DAZN) three-packer Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Co. have to survive at the Santiago Bernabeu.
First of all, however, Flick wanted to “enjoy the evening”, the first Barca success over the “Black Beast” from Munich since 2015 and six defeats in a row. “Victory against Bayern Munich is always something special,” said goalscorer Lewandowski after the brilliant 4:1 (3:1) at DAZN, “we can look to the future very, very positively.”
The key? Flick! “Hansi always has a recipe,” praised the Polish striker: “We believe in him, in us, it works really well. But we have to stay on the ground and show the best we have against Real.”
Flick was “proud because we came back after the 1-1 draw” by Harry Kane. “We had a phase in which we weren’t brave, that wasn’t our style.”
But Barca soon found their way back to Flick’s style, which is why the coach gave his team a “huge compliment”. “I’m happy because we tried to stick to our idea, even when things got a little bumpy.” His team “implements tactical guidelines directly, that’s just nice.”
By the way, Flick also had a bit of consolation for his old love. “Bayern Munich has an outstanding team and top players in their ranks. They play very good football, it’s just nice, I like watching,” he said, but: “We did a little better and were a little more convincing in the end. “
