Coach Flick Reflects on Season’s Journey

Following the match, Hansi Flick emphasized the mental strength of his squad. “We are very strong mentally,” he stated. “After the last break, we returned with full force, seizing the opportunity to work hard. Winning the Spanish Super Cup gave us confidence, and the second half of the season was simply amazing. Players like Frenkie de Jong and many others reached their peak, which is great to see.”

When asked about his request for players to exit the pitch shortly after the final whistle, Flick pointed to past experiences. “I know what happened here two years ago; we wanted to leave the field and celebrate the title in the locker room,” he explained, referring to an incident when Espanyol fans invaded the pitch, causing tension and prompting Barcelona players to retreat to the locker rooms.

Player Insights on the Victory

Raphinha expressed his pride in the season, saying, “I have already won all the domestic titles with Barcelona. Now, we must achieve European titles as well. This is my second championship in Spain, and I am obviously very happy. I feel I played a significant leadership role this season, contributing more and being important for the team.”

Pedri also shared his excitement, noting, “During warm-ups, Alimin scored two goals, just like the goal he scored at the end. We are lucky to have him, and we must take good care of him. La Liga is the toughest title of the year, and we can be happy about it. Barcelona is my dream club, and I enjoy every day here. This was my 200th game for Barcelona, and I dreamed of playing just start.”

Team’s Collective Joy

Fermin Lopez, who scored the second goal, expressed his emotional response to the victory: “We are so happy; we achieved our goal and worked very hard for it. It was a fantastic season for Alimin, and he deserves it. Coach Hansi Flick has guided us all along the way. Now is his time to be happy and celebrate. We are going to celebrate tonight; we are not tired at all.”
