The head coach of FC Barcelona, Hans Flick, expressed his happiness with the thrilling victory achieved by his team against Girona with a score of 2-1, in the ninth round of La Liga, despite being sent off in the final minutes of the match.

Flick said in his statements after the match: "I am happy for Ronald Araujo, he told me he is ready to play in an attacking position, we tried everything and in the end it worked, I am happy for the team, the club, and the fans, and I believe this victory represents an important step forward."

The Barcelona coach added about his strong celebration after the goal: "Football is passion, even for us, today we put in a great effort more than we expected, scoring the second goal and winning was wonderful, the celebration was not directed at anyone, but was an expression of the tension and excitement in a very intense match."

Flick talked about his tactical decisions, saying: "We substituted Lamine Yamal and Pedri because the latter has played many minutes recently, we had to manage his time on the pitch better because the upcoming matches are very important, in the Champions League and the Clasico, and we need Pedri at his best."

The German coach also shared his observations about the team's performance, explaining: "We need to improve many aspects, we did not press as we did last season, it was a difficult match, but the victory is extremely important, and it gives us the confidence we need for what is coming."
