FC Barcelona manager Hans-Dieter Flick expressed his satisfaction after the thrilling encounter against Benfica, which ended with a score of 5-4 in favor of the Catalans. “It was a crazy game. Benfica played very well in the first half, and we made too many mistakes defensively. At halftime we discussed some changes and came back on the pitch ready to The second half showed the best of our mentality, always believing in ourselves. I thought we could settle for a point, but three was even better. We invested a lot in the second half and created many chances, and we deserved this victory,” Flick emphasized.
Regarding a controversial moment involving Barreiro in the Barcelona penalty area, where a potential penalty was not awarded, resulting in the fifth goal for the Blaugranas, Flick avoided giving a definitive comment: “I don’t know, I don’t haven’t seen it, we have to trust the VAR They made the decision for us and against Benfica it’s football; sometimes it goes our way, other times it doesn’t.
