Flick Demands Defensive Fix After Crazy Clasico Win

Barcelona coach Hans Flick praised his team for beating Real Madrid 4-3 after falling behind early. The squad showed great spirit coming back from two goals down despite playing extra time against Inter earlier in the week. Flick wants the team to improve their defense when not pressing the ball. He admitted that coaching the entire group remains challenging, but appreciates how they love playing and training together. The substitutes made important contributions during the match.

Flick said Ferran Torres played very well as Lewandowski recovered from injury. He refused to claim the league title despite needing just one more win to become champions. Barcelona aims to win three trophies this season, but must work on defensive stability. Flick felt many emotions during the game, rather than nervousness, as his team overcame the early deficit. He wants his players to learn from their mistakes and keep improving.

Flick expressed happiness with how the team collects points through intense training and competition. He praised teenager Lamine Yamal for his confidence and smart play after scoring an important goal. Torres earned his starting spot through excellent pressing and passing abilities. Koulibaly asked to play an additional 15 minutes, but does not have a serious injury concern.
