German coach Hans Flick expressed his great happiness following the thrilling victory over Celta Vigo with a score of 4-3, in the 32nd round of La Liga, in a match held at the Montjuïc Stadium that witnessed a dramatic comeback after Barcelona trailed by three goals to one.

Flick said: "We faced a strong team that came after a series of good results, and we knew we would struggle. They have a clear playing plan and a remarkable coach, but we managed to come back and respond in a wonderful way."

Regarding the defensive errors, specifically the second goal, the German coach commented: "Yes, the second goal was due to a mistake, but overall we were pressing well. What matters to me is that we never gave up, and this is the mentality I am looking for in my team."

On the injury of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, he said: "We have to wait until tomorrow to know the results of the medical examinations; we cannot rush to judge his condition. Experience has taught me to be patient."

Flick praised his Brazilian winger Raphinha after he scored the winning goal from a penalty, saying: "Raphinha is very important for the team; he has a positive energy that affects everyone. I was confident in his ability to take the penalty, and I told him we needed him, and he rose to the occasion."

Regarding Olmo's penalty that changed the course of the match, he added: "I didn't see it clearly, but the video technology and the referee confirmed its validity. The goal was a decisive moment that changed everything, and I am very proud of the way we finished the match."

The Barcelona coach concluded his statements by saying: "I am proud of this victory; it was a difficult match, but the mentality and fighting spirit made the difference. This is the Barcelona we want to see."
