Hansi Flick congratulates Nico Williams on Euro 2024 title win | OneFootball

Hansi Flick has opened up on his post match chat with Athletic Club star Nico Williams.

Barcelona stretched their 100% record at the start of the new league season with a battling display against their Basque rivals.

A fantastic first goal of the campaign from Lamine Yamal, and another late winner from Robert Lewandowski, secured three crucial points for the hosts.

Victory on home soil is a vital boost on the back of a tumultuous week at the club with Ilkay Gundogan returning to former side Manchester City.

Summer signing Dani Olmo is still not registered as a La Liga player for Flick, but the German coach wanted to focus on what is in his control, and claimed his full time embrace with Williams did not have a double meaning.

“I’m more satisfied today than I was in Valencia. I’m very happy with the win. I’m also happy Pedri is back”, as per reports from Marca.

“At times, there was a lack of calm, but it’s good to have passion and intensity.

“When I saw Nico Williams, I congratulated him for winning the European Championship, that’s all.”

Flick is unlikely to add to his squad before the transfer window closes on August 30, but exits are planned, ahead of a trip to Rayo Vallecano on August 27.
