The coach also commented that the French defender Koundé “has small problems”, and that EricGarcía's situation is uncertain, although the player believes it is a minor blow. “We have to wait until tomorrow,” said Flick, while emphasizing the need to observe the evolution of the players' minutes before the next appointment.
Regarding the team's performance, Flick was satisfied with the victory. “Betis has been fantastic because of its speed and intensity, but we have also been very good and we deserve the victory,” he said. At the same time, he highlighted the performance of LamineYamal, describing him as an “incredible” and “100% focused and committed” player. The coach added that his replacement was a necessary decision and that he was “very proud” of his performance.
Finally, Flick highlighted the importance of set pieces and the work of the players in those plays. "It's important to have that strength from set pieces. I'm happy to have scored the second goal before the break," he commented. The coach concluded that, although the club celebrates its winning record, the main objective remains to win titles and “achieve bigger things.” With the victory against Betis, Barcelona prepares for the duel against PSG, where the recovery of the players and the management of minutes will be key.
