Flick raves about ‘absolutely fantastic’ Barca after Leganes win
The boss is happy
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick was full of praise for his team after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leganes in La Liga.
The victory came courtesy of an own goal but sees Barca move seven points clear at the top of the table in Spain ahead of Real Madrid’s game today.
Here’s what Hansi Flick made of it all:
“For me, the best situation was not only the goal, but the last save from Inigo was unbelievable,” Flick told reporters.
“I celebrated it like a goal. Everyone celebrated it as a goal. It’s part of the game and, again, another clean sheet. It’s the perfect match here.
“Three points are three points. It’s fantastic. I am really happy and very proud of my team.”
Flick was also proud of his team’s fighting spirit after coming out on top of a tough game at Butarque.
“Today, how we fight for 94, 95 minutes, it was unbelievable,” he added.
“When you see the load the players have in the last couple of weeks, after the international break ... what they did, the performances, it’s unbelievable.
“Now, we focus on recovery. I think the word I use most is recovery, recovery, recovery.
“We will arrive back in the night in Barcelona, then we recover and train with the other guys who didn’t have so many minutes.
“And on Monday we fly to Dortmund. It’s like that. We have no excuses. We focus on our job. The team is fantastic again, absolutely fantastic.”
The win certainly feels like a big one given how the game played out, with Eric Garcia claiming afterwards “these are the games where LaLiga is won.”
