What a great evening for Barça. The Blaugrana didn’t just dominate and beat their sworn enemy. They were, in the process, crowned champions of Spain for a second season in a row. Enough to conclude a season where there was certainly a failure in Europe, but during which the gang of Pedri and Lamine Yamal was exceptional on the national scene, with 17 victories in 17 matches at home for example.
Obviously, the Barcelona players were very happy at the end of the match, not hesitating to celebrate with Hansi Flick, in a delicate context for the German who had just lost his father. Many of them spoke in front of the cameras of Movistar in the midst of their celebrations. “This victory tastes like glory, we wanted to win for history. But also for Flick, for everything he gave us”said Pedri, the first Barça player to speak after the victory.
Barça is over the moon
“All titles are special, but even more so when you win it at home against Real Madrid. Every title must be celebrated, especially La Liga”for his part explained Frenkie de Jong. “At the start of the season, we wanted to win titles, so we have to celebrate. We did things well. We had complicated moments, but we were able to come back stronger”said Raphinha. Note that all the players actually had a word for Hansi Flick, and the Brazilian even made it clear that the German had saved his career.
“We had to do a little more for Flick this evening, and be all united”for his part affirmed Gerard Martin. “The team did a spectacular job. Beating Real is magnificent. We dedicate this victory to Flick’s entire family, who are having a difficult time. Very good things are to come, we are going to give everything for this jersey”launched Cubarsi, followed by Eric Garcia: “It was a tough day for our coach, we had to win. We are a young team. We who have been here since we were kids know what it means to beat Real Madrid and win La Liga.”. No doubt, Flick is very well surrounded in Barcelona.
