After Barcelona’s emphatic 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich, manager Hansi Flick was visibly pleased, though he tried to maintain his composure amid the celebrations.
While the joy of the win was undeniable, Flick remained grounded in his post-match reflections.
He acknowledged that while the match had been tough in its early stages, particularly during the first 10-15 minutes after the opening goal, the team’s recovery was impressive.
This resilience, he noted, is a vital trait for a squad as young as Barcelona’s, and it was encouraging to see them steadily improve with each performance.
“We have a young team and it’s important to see this. We have to show our potential and we try to play better and better each time,” the manager began saying.

When asked about Marc Casado, Flick’s admiration for the young midfielder was evident.
He highlighted the talent emerging from La Masia, stating that Casado’s defensive abilities and skills with the ball are remarkable, especially considering he’s just recently come up from Barça Atletic.
“It’s incredible if you know that Casado comes from Barça Atlètic and you see the level he has now. He’s incredibly good defensively and with the ball at his feet.”
Flick emphasised the influence of La Masia, pointing out that the quality of players from Barcelona’s famed academy is clear for everyone to see.
“It’s La Masia. Everyone in the stadium sees the quality of these players. You could see when we had confidence, in the second half, how we passed the ball around, it was incredible. Everyone was happy, including the staff,” he noted.
