In the top game in Spain, the flick team impressively pulls its head out of the loop. The press already speaks of the title and the opposing trainer unpacks the superlative.
It was another important step in the fight for the Spanish championship. One more spectacular. Hansi Flicks FC Barcelona had moved 0: 2 back to Atlético Madrid on Sunday after 70 minutes. Eight minutes later, thanks to Robert Lewandowski (72nd) and Ferran Torres (78th), it was suddenly 2: 2. It came even better in added time. Lamine Yamal (90.+2) and again Torres (90.+8) turned the game completely – 2: 4.
A fabulous catch -up that left the impression, the opponent and the media alike. “Barça sweeps away atlético,” headlined the “Marca”. “Barça reappears, Atléti bleeds,” wrote the “AS”. The daily newspaper “El Mundo” even went so far and horny: “Barça gets the championship title in the metropolitano”.
A special praise received the catalans, who pulled past the archrival Real Madrid (both 60 points) in one game, from the opposing coach Diego Simeone: “I have already said that and can repeat it today: Barcelona is the team that plays the best football.”
The Argentinian, known for his hot -blooded temperament on the sidelines: “It is also the team that combines the best team game and has individually outstanding players.”
After the game, Flick himself was noticeable how proud he is on his team: “The mentality was incredible. The way we won was fantastic. For the fans and everyone else it was a great game, not for the coaches. But it doesn’t matter, we won three important points. I am very happy about it.”
