Barcelona shocked its German guest, Bayern Munich, with a score of four goals to one, making its position in the Champions League more difficult. This match took place on Wednesday evening at the Olympic Stadium of Luis Cubanes, in the third round of the league stage.
With this victory, Barcelona raises its points to 6 in tenth place, while Bayern’s tally remains at 3 points in 23rd place, complicating the German team’s situation if things continue as they are.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” the German coach is very pleased with this resounding victory that Barcelona achieved tonight over the Bavarian giant, Bayern Munich.
The newspaper added that the first player Flick went to congratulate after the great victory was the young midfielder Marc Casado. Flick applauded the player and asked all the team members to applaud him after Casado delivered the best performance of his career so far.
Flick admitted that Barcelona achieved victory tonight thanks to the great effort Casado put into pressing, recovering balls, and passing them forward.
The newspaper added that Flick also went to Barcelona midfielder Pedri and praised his fantastic performance against Bayern Munich, a match Flick considered a benchmark for all midfielders in the world.
The newspaper indicated that the German coach congratulated the star of the match tonight, the Brazilian Rafinha, telling him, “You played a match that will remain in the minds of many for years to come.”
Flick stated emphatically that Barcelona has the best player in the world in its ranks, referring to Rafinha, saying: “We have the best player in the world, and he has no equal.”
This statement ignited the atmosphere of the Clasico early, as Ancelotti stated yesterday that Vinicius is the best player in the world. Flick responded the next day, asserting that the Barça star is the best without a doubt.
In an unexpected development, Laporta immediately went down after the end of the historic match and went to the team’s locker room. He approached the undisputed star of the match, Rafinha, hugged him, and told him, “You enchanted the whole world tonight; what an amazing player you are.”
Laporta then turned to one of Barcelona’s standout players in the match, star Marc Casado, and said, “If you hadn’t been here tonight, things would have changed a lot. You are Barcelona’s priceless jewel.”
The newspaper concluded that despite the historic victory, Flick spoke to Barcelona’s French star Koundé, urging him to focus intensely in the upcoming Clasico match to contain Real Madrid’s most dangerous player, Vinicius Junior. He asked him not to advance too far forward and to avoid leaving spaces behind him.
