As [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261013/1004238446/flick-no-facil-estadio-asi-contento-orgullosos.html) has reported, Hansi Flick addressed a press conference after the game and expressed his happiness with the result. Meanwhile, the German coach also highlighted some areas where further improvements can be made:

**“We are very happy with the result. We played well in the first half. They had one chance and scored, but we managed to come back and that was very important.”**

**“In the Champions League, when we play well, we sometimes make poor decisions in the final third, and that is something we have to improve. But today, in this stadium and with this atmosphere, it was not easy. I am very happy.”**

The German coach praised Lamine Yamal, who had another excellent game, while also highlighting the contributions of other players:

**“He didn’t score today, but he provided the assists for three or four goals, and he is an incredible player who is very important to us.”**

**“Sometimes, during a match, I cannot fully appreciate what he has done. But when you watch Lamine in every training session and see some of the things he does, it is just like in a match. That is incredible. I am happy to have a player like him in my team, but ultimately, I have several players performing at a very high level. They are doing very well in every position.**

**I understand that everyone focuses on Lamine because he is our star, but for me, the most important thing is that we succeed. With him on the pitch in the second half, the way we dominated the game was fantastic, and what he does with his final pass is incredible.”**

Despite the incredible form shown by his team so far, Flick warned that things can change quickly in football:

**“We are in a great moment, and we can be proud of ourselves. It is good for the club, the fans and the team. We have that confidence, but football can change very quickly. We are very proud of this situation; we are happy and confident, and we know how we want to play. But our ambitions are much greater, and we want to win trophies. You cannot win anything right now. The major trophies are won in May or June, and we work towards that every day.”**

Karim Adeyemi was another player the Barcelona coach praised in this presser:

**“He is very fast, good on the ball and can score goals. I am very happy that he scored.”**

Meanwhile, the German coach was looking forward to Gabriel Jesus improving further:

**“He is at a top level, but I think he can get even better. I am happy with him and value him highly, but he has more potential, and he will show that over the coming weeks.”**

With this incredible win, Barcelona have moved to the top of the UCL table for now. However, they have another difficult tie coming up in the competition, as they face Paris Saint-Germain next, and hopefully, the team will put in a similar effort to get a result from this upcoming game.
