Barcelona manager Hansi Flick couldn’t contain his joy after witnessing his team’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday. Goals from Raphinha and a brace from substitute Ferran Torres secured a valuable win for the Catalans, leaving Flick overflowing with praise.

Flick’s Reaction: “We Believed”

Following the match, Flick spoke to reporters, expressing his delight with his team’s performance. “We can be very happy with what we did, as we believed,” he stated. “The first half was wonderful, and in the second half, when they scored, we were stable.”

“Suffering is not the right word. Dortmund played very well. They are fantastic players who have a very high tempo, but we did well. The goals happened because we made mistakes. We can always improve, but today I have to say congratulations to the team because they did great.”

“The positive thing was the ball possession in the first half. We played calmly. When we made the changes with Fermín and Ferran they were direct.”

He acknowledged Dortmund’s impressive play, stating, “Dortmund played very well. They are fantastic players who have a very high tempo, but we did well.”

Raphinha’s Substitution and Upcoming Games

Flick also addressed concerns regarding Raphinha, who was substituted during the second half. He reassured fans that the Brazilian “is not injured.”

Barcelona’s schedule intensifies with upcoming fixtures against Leganes and Atletico Madrid. However, Flick will be absent from the sidelines for these matches due to a two-game ban.
