Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his happiness after the team’s 4-1 victory against Girona in the fifth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said: “I am happy.” With this victory and the three points, I told the team the importance of continuing as we were before the international break, and we did that correctly today. We achieved a wonderful victory.”

He added: “ We started and put pressure on them well from the first minute, and I think we deserved the win and the result. I told the team at halftime that it was important to continue as we were in the first half.

He added: Now we focus on recovering and arriving at Monaco in good shape. We now go with the confidence that we have built over the last four games. You can see that also today, because of our organisation, how we play as a unit, it is not easy to do it this way, but we always put pressure on the ball. And we did it well.”

He stressed: “The referees in La Liga are good. I think I am not a coach who always looks for excuses, because the referees have a difficult job, and I think they do “They did a great job this season. I would like to talk about them positively.”

He concluded: “Today we could have scored one or two more goals. I'm very happy with the team's performance. We had a great performance today. We started with great focus, we were very focused, and we put pressure on them. Because we know that if we give them the space they need to pass, they will cause us problems.”
