Hansi Flick Reacts to Barcelona’s 4-2 Victory Over Atletico Madrid
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick shared his thoughts after his team’s impressive 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid, praising his players’ efforts and singling out Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres for their standout performances.
Praise for Lamine Yamal
Flick highlighted Yamal’s confidence and attacking instincts, saying: “He puts a lot of effort into one-on-ones. And of course, when he gets on the pitch and has a chance to shoot, he takes it, as he did today. He has the quality to score such goals, and he’s proven that many times in the past.”
Ferran Torres’ Impact Off the Bench
The Barcelona manager also acknowledged the depth of his squad, particularly the impact of substitutes like Ferran Torres. “We have a strong starting lineup, but the players who come off the bench are performing brilliantly,” Flick said.
He continued, “They’re training at a high level and staying ready. Ferran is a good example. He helps us a lot whenever he plays.”
On Barcelona’s Form and Treble Hopes
When asked about Barcelona’s chances of winning a treble, Flick played down comparisons to his time at Bayern Munich, where he led the German club to a historic treble. “It’s a different situation from Bayern,” he noted, suggesting that while Barcelona is in great form, there is still work to be done to achieve such a feat.
With the win over Atletico, Barcelona remains firmly in the title race, and Flick’s influence is becoming increasingly evident as the season progresses.
