Hansi Flick reacts after Barcelona hammer Real Madrid to win Supercopa – ‘The team is incredible’ | OneFootball

Barcelona secured their 15th Spanish Super Cup title as they beat Real Madrid 5-2 last night.

It was a terrific performance from the Catalans, who had to go through multiple setbacks, including an early goal from Kylian Mbappe and a second half red card for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Barcelona players, though, reacted brilliantly while an efficient display in the final third saw them score no less than five times.

Flick speaks after Barcelona triumph

Speaking to the press after Barcelona’s triumph, coach Hansi Flick was ecstatic, to say the least.

“We played a great game. Today is a day to be positive and optimistic. The team is incredible. The players already feel that we are a great team. I can only congratulate the team,” Flick told the press (h/t Mundo Deportivo).

“We always stayed united. We defended and attacked together. That’s what’s important. That was the key. The objective is to learn from each game and improve day by day,” he added.

Barcelona’s win last night marked the first title for the team under the leadership of Flick, who did acknowledge that the team did make some mistakes.

“I like having a team that plays a specific style, the way we played is important. We made some mistakes today and that’s what we need to reduce. When we have the ball, everything is easier,” he said.

Talking about Szczesny’s red card, the German added, “It is not easy to play with 10 against Real Madrid . We have two fantastic goalkeepers. We defended like a team.

“Because we discussed the changes that had to be made after Szczesny was sent off and they turned out well.”

Hansi Flick went on to offer his thoughts on the road ahead, now that he has already bagged his first title at Barcelona.

“I have been in this world for many years. The aim of the big clubs is to win titles and that is why we work hard. Now we have to show, in every game, how good we are,” he said.

Finally, Flick explained what he told his team following an early goal from Mbappe, which put Barcelona behind in the first five minutes.

“I’m proud of the players, of the entire staff, of the fans. It was good for us to come back after Mbappé ‘s first goal . We did things well and it was incredible,” he concluded.
