With this victory, Barcelona has accumulated 9 points in the Champions League group stage, ranking sixth in the group, significantly increasing their chances of directly advancing to the round of 16.
After the match, Barcelona’s head coach Flick gave an interview, discussing the game and the team’s performance. He said, “The most important thing was to get the three points. Winning away in a competition like the Champions League is not easy; every match is full of challenges. I am very satisfied with the team’s performance, especially in ball control and high-pressure pressing, which we did exceptionally well.”
Regarding the team’s focus throughout the match, Flick added, “I fully agree with Inigo’s view. Red Star Belgrade is a technically strong team with good control on the field, making them difficult to defend against. I particularly appreciate how the team maintained high concentration for the entire 90 minutes, which is not an easy feat.”
Regarding Kubarsi, who had to be substituted due to injury during the match, Flick provided the latest update: “Kubarsi has received initial treatment and has been stitched up. Fortunately, he is young and has a strong recovery ability, so I believe he will recover quickly. If he were older, this situation might have been more complicated, but it doesn’t seem to be a major issue at the moment.”
Flick stated that Barcelona not only demonstrated its formidable strength but also proved the team’s unity and resilience in the face of difficulties. He is confident about the team’s future performance.
