German coach Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, spoke about his team's victory against Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish League competition, highlighting the importance of the win achieved at San Mamés Stadium and praising his players' performance, particularly Pedri.

Flick stated in his post-match comments that the victory was crucial given the circumstances preceding the match, explaining: 'It's not easy to play here, and we had to manage the minutes after Tuesday's match.'

The German coach continued: 'I value this win greatly, and we also kept a clean sheet. It's not easy to win at this stadium against a great team and fans.'

Flick talked about Pedri's impact on the team's performance, saying: 'I've said it before, Pedri makes all players better, he changes the course of the game and excels at linking the lines.'

The Barcelona coach added: 'Also, Dani Olmo performed better in the second half, but the most important thing is that all players fought as one unit.'

Flick touched on the importance of maintaining a clean sheet, saying: 'When we play our style, sometimes we concede goals because it depends on the whole team.'

He added: 'Everyone defends, and keeping a clean sheet gives us confidence and supports our philosophy.'

The German coach spoke about the performance of young star Lamine Yamal, saying: 'He didn't deliver his best match, but his goal decided the game. When he finds spaces and opportunities, he can make a difference, and he trains a lot.'

He continued: 'It's good for a player to be able to decide the game in such situations.'

He pointed out: 'This team has a special atmosphere that I greatly appreciate, and I appreciate how the players stand together and their behavior, everything is great, and I am happy with what I see.'

Flick concluded his comments by talking about Ferran Torres, saying: 'The number 9 striker is evaluated by goals; he doesn't have much confidence currently, but we're working on it. It's important that he tries every time; he has good dynamics and is fast, maybe suffering a bit from bad luck and lacks enough confidence, so we need to help him.'
