German Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, expressed his great happiness with his team's performance in the 6-0 victory over Valencia in the match that brought the two teams together at Johan Cruyff Stadium during the fourth round of La Liga.

In press statements after the match, Flick said about the team's performance: "From the start of the match, we showed what we wanted to do, and this is what we actually saw on the field; the team was brilliant in all positions."

Regarding the absence of Lamine Yamal, he pointed out: "There is always a first time for everything; it doesn't matter who is missing, he wasn't there, whether it was De Jong or Balde, but we focus on each match individually. We are now fully focused on facing Newcastle and are very happy with this victory."

On the brilliance of Firmin Lopez, he said: "He had an excellent match, but not just him; the entire team enjoyed and delivered a distinguished performance."

Regarding the choice between Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, he said: "We have a great team, and there will be matches for everyone. The three points today are important, and for me, it's great to have multiple options in attack between Lewandowski and Ferran."

About the decision not to start with Raphinha, he added: "Raphinha recently returned from a long journey, and the decision not to include him as a starter was a technical one. Rony trains well and has an excellent mentality, and Raphinha also has a strong mentality."

On the file of Lamine Yamal and the Spanish federation, he said: "I said everything I had yesterday, and there is nothing to add today."

On Marc Bernal, who is returning from a long injury, he added: "After a long journey from injury, this is a very important day for him and his family. He worked hard to return, and the fans celebrated his return as well. I have always said that this team is great, and the relationship between the players is excellent, and I am very happy with his return."

Regarding Johan Cruyff Stadium, Flick said: "The result is wonderful; we know the situation, and there is no room for excuses. If we have to play here, that's fine; things are going well. Playing at Camp Nou will be great, but we have to wait, accept the situation, and approach every match with the goal of winning."

About the Champions League match against Newcastle, he confirmed: "I feel that I am in great shape; last season we did not play in England, and the Premier League has amazing quality. I have followed Newcastle, and they are performing very well."

The German coach praised Gerard Martin, saying: "I believe we have excellent options in the center-back position. He has improved a lot, whether he starts or comes off the bench; he always performs his role with discipline. He is one of the most developed players, and during the preparation period, we saw that he can play as a center-back, and he is a left-footed player."
