FC Barcelona resumed their campaign after the international break with yet another dominant performance, continuing their impressive scoring form.
Their latest match against Sevilla ended with a comprehensive 5-1 victory, marking the third time this season that they scored five or more goals.
This followed an earlier 5-1 triumph over Villarreal, a commanding 5-0 win against Young Boys, and a 7-0 demolition of Valladolid.
These results clearly show that Barcelona are on a roll, and Hansi Flick, the manager, had every reason to be pleased.
“It was important to come back with a win after the break. We started a very complicated week well, but we are in a very good moment. Even so, we have to keep improving things,” said the manager after the match.
Flick’s praise
Barcelona were quick to establish control, effectively deciding the outcome of the game by half-time. They continued to push forward, showing no signs of letting up despite their commanding lead.
“I think we had a very good first half. We went little by little and found spaces little by little.”
Flick’s focus on maintaining intensity throughout the match was evident as his team did not sit back after scoring three goals.
The message was clear: a solid first half is just the beginning, and keeping the pressure on is essential to prevent opponents from finding opportunities.
“After scoring three goals you feel better, but you have to keep going and not fall behind, because otherwise you give your opponent options.”
