Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed great satisfaction after his team’s triumph in the Spanish Super Cup, where the Catalans defeated Real Madrid 3–2 in the final held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Flick highly praised his players’ performance and the way they approached the match.
He said it was a fantastic victory, especially against traditional rivals Real Madrid, and added that he is very proud of what the team showed on the pitch.
According to him, Barcelona played the right style of football, controlling the game and fighting until the very end, even though the match was not easy.
The German coach also highlighted the decisive role of Raphinha, who scored two goals and had a major influence on the tempo of the game.
He praised the winger’s mentality and the collective effort of the entire team in applying effective pressing and maintaining control of the match.
Another important moment for Flick was the return to the pitch of Ronald Araújo, who came on as a substitute and was delighted to lift the trophy with his teammates — something the coach described as very important for the team’s morale.
Overall, Flick emphasized that this trophy brings very positive feelings and shows that Barcelona are in a good position to continue the season with high confidence.
