Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was beaming with pride after his team’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou. The German tactician praised his players for their attacking intent and commitment to an offensive style of play.
Flick acknowledged that the red card shown to Real Sociedad’s player changed the course of the match, but he was delighted with the way his team took advantage of the situation. Barcelona dominated proceedings and secured a convincing scoreline, with Flick hailing the team’s overall performance.
The win marked Barcelona’s latest triumph in a season that has seen them score an impressive 124 goals in just 40 matches under Flick’s management. The manager attributed the team’s attacking prowess to their positive approach and willingness to take risks in the final third.
Flick also praised the team’s positional awareness, which he believed played a key role in breaking down Real Sociedad’s defense. The manager was pleased with the way his players occupied the right positions on the pitch, creating scoring opportunities and exploiting the opposition’s weaknesses.
One player who impressed Flick was Gerard Martin, who scored a goal and put in an outstanding performance. The manager praised Martin’s improvement and growing confidence, which was evident in his contributions during the match.
Flick also had words of praise for Lamine Yamal, who continues to contribute to the team’s attacking play despite not scoring in La Liga since October. The manager reassured that goals would eventually come for Yamal, but what matters most is his overall contribution to the team.
Robert Lewandowski’s consistency in front of goal was another topic of discussion, with Flick acknowledging the striker’s ability to find the back of the net. The manager pointed out that while Lewandowski may have benefited from some favourable circumstances, his instinct to be in the right position at the right time is crucial for the team.
Flick also provided an update on Gavi’s absence from the starting lineup, revealing that the midfielder was unable to play due to feeling unwell. Dani Olmo was brought into the starting lineup in Gavi’s place, and Flick was pleased with the way the team adapted to the change.
