In the second round of the Champions League, with a brace from Lewandowski, assists and goals from Rafinha and Martinez, Barcelona secured a convincing 5-0 home victory over Young Boys. After the game, Barcelona coach Flick spoke to the media.
Flick said, “No one knows how this year’s Champions League will unfold, but having more goal difference is always beneficial for the team. Especially after losing in the first round, this big win is particularly significant for us.”
“We had a good start in this game, but we haven’t reached the level I expected. We must be stronger in our start, perform better in passing, and the team needs to be more flexible and smooth in overall cooperation.”
“Rafinha did play well, but we can’t just talk about one player; we must discuss the entire team. If others don’t perform well, one player cannot stand out alone.”
Regarding Fati’s playing situation, he came on as an attacking midfielder after Pedri was substituted off and eventually played as a forward. Flick explained, “We wanted to give Pedri a rest, but were unsure whether to bring on De Jong so early, so we put Fati on first.”
Finally, Flick confirmed that the team will have two days of rest, which the players are looking forward to, as they have been playing a game every three days for several weeks: “They deserve this break.”
