Barcelona Manager Hansi Flick Praises Team After Stunning 4-0 Clasico Victory Over Real Madrid
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed his pride and satisfaction after his team’s impressive 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, which marked the end of Madrid’s 42-game unbeaten run in LaLiga. This remarkable Clasico win, Barcelona’s first since March 2023, was the culmination of an outstanding week for the Catalan side, which also saw them defeat Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League. Flick’s delight was evident as he reflected on his players’ efforts and the impressive tactical execution displayed in one of the season’s most anticipated clashes.
In the post-match press conference, Flick emphasized the significance of the victory, attributing it to the team’s work ethic and his joy in managing at Barcelona. "I’m delighted to be working at Barcelona and to live in Barcelona. It’s a fantastic job, I’m very happy," he said. Flick, who has quickly made his mark in LaLiga with 10 wins from 11 games, acknowledged that his squad had played a “fantastic game,” and he expressed pride in their performance. The victory at the Bernabeu was not only a testament to the team’s technical prowess but also to the cohesion and confidence Flick has cultivated since taking charge.
Although Real Madrid initially controlled the game, Barcelona managed to turn the tide in the second half. Robert Lewandowski’s two rapid goals broke the deadlock and set the momentum for a decisive win. Later, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal and captain Raphinha sealed the triumph, silencing the Bernabeu crowd. Flick credited Barcelona’s defensive organization and high pressing for the shift in dynamics, saying, “We pressed better with and without the ball. We had more possession, and that’s why the game changed.” Flick also highlighted their success in countering Madrid’s offensive threats by maintaining a high defensive line and pressing consistently.
With this victory, Barcelona extended their lead at the top of LaLiga to 30 points, creating a six-point gap over Real Madrid and nine points over Villarreal. Flick’s tactical approach and motivational leadership appear to be driving the club to new heights, positioning Barcelona as formidable title contenders. As he noted, “We are sticking to our idea and right now we are fluid and want to move forward.”
