Hansi Flick: ‘I don’t know why Lamine Yamal was annoyed, he’ll be happier on Wednesday’ Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has stated that he was happy with his side’s win over Atletico Madrid on Saturday night that moved them seven points clear at the top of the La Liga table, following Real Madrid’s defeat earlier in the day. However he noted that his players did not celebrate the victory too much in the dressing room. Flick seemed generally content with his side’s showing, despite their struggles to break down Atletico with a man less in the second half.
“We played against 10 men, we tried everything to score the goal. We played against a team with one less player and they defended very well, but we tried everything until we scored the goal. The three points, very valuable.
It’s not easy to play here, against a great team, because of the very intense atmosphere. ” “Today we showed how we want to defend, but also how we want to attack. We controlled the game.
For this, I think it’s important also good rest defending. Gerard and Pau did a good job, from one side to the other. ” In terms of the gap it opens up between Barcelona and Real Madrid, seven points, he was reluctant to make any sweeping statements on the fate of La Liga.
“The team are happy, everyone knows that it was big points today. But it’s not done. Now Wednesday is the next game, very important game.
