Barcelona secured a decisive 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final, thanks to goals from rising stars Gavi and Lamine Yamal. The win not only showcased the team’s quality but also underlined their growing momentum under the guidance of Hansi Flick.

Speaking after the game, Flick expressed his delight over the recent developments involving the club and praised his young team’s performance.

Addressing the registrations of Pau Victor and Dani Olmo, which had been finalised earlier, Flick shared his excitement:

“I am very happy for both of them and for the team. We met them on the bus, and the whole club is very happy with the decision. The players are happy. For us, it was a good sign before the game. We wanted to show that we are a team.”

Turning his attention to the match, Flick reflected on the performance and the team’s journey so far: “We made a great start, but we are a young team and we have to learn things. But this is the way to play. We played very well against Atlético, and it was not the best way to end the year, but we played very well against Barbastro and today against Athletic, keeping a clean sheet.”

Flick also highlighted the team’s potential and spirit:
“We are a young team, and they can learn a lot. But they know how to play and how to enjoy football. This is the path we want to show in the upcoming matches.”

Barcelona fans will undoubtedly be encouraged by both the result and Flick’s optimism as the team continues to build for the future. With young talents like Gavi and Yamal stepping up and the squad growing stronger, the Blaugrana are well-positioned to keep the momentum alive in the season ahead.
