Barcelona's head coach, Hans Flick, expressed his satisfaction after the fiery victory over Levante with a score of 3-2 in the second round of the Spanish league for the 2025/2026 season, despite the controversy surrounding the penalty claimed during the match.

Flick said after the match: "Levante defended well, they have great speed, and the match was not easy. In the first half, they created good chances, and in the second, we made changes. Our first goal gave us confidence, and we continued to fight until the end to earn the three points."

He added: "As for the penalty, I felt angry when it was awarded, but the referee pointed to it, and we have to accept the decision. The important thing is that we return to Barcelona with three points."

He continued: "I am certainly proud; we won the three points, and we believed in ourselves. This victory will have a significant impact. The match was not easy when the opponent presses in this way."

He went on: "We did not play a perfect game, and we have to appreciate Levante's performance and the speed of their players. We scored three goals and managed to win. We need to analyze the match and learn from it, as the season is long and results do not come easily."

He pointed out: "Marcus Rashford created chances in the first half, and in the second, I brought in Raphinha on the wing, and the substitutions were appropriate. The first goal changed the course of the match."
