|April 28, 2025
SEVILLE: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was thrilled with his side's heroics to roar back and grab a breathtaking 3-2 win in extra-time and beat fierce rivals Real Madrid to lift the Copa del Rey title on Saturday.
-
The German coach said that his treble chasing players should not hold back in celebrating the record-extending 32nd Spanish Cup title and worry later about Wednesday's Champions League semi-finals first-leg against Inter Milan.
"It has been a simply perfect night," Flick told a press conference in the early hours of yesterday.
"I am very proud. For me, it's amazing what they are doing, how they fight. I really appreciate what they do, that they never give up. I think everyone, the club, the fans, are proud of this team.
"To win a title in a game like the Clasico against Real Madrid is always special. I’m happy for my players and for the thousands of fans who were in the stands, they deserved this title.
"Now we must celebrate and then the objective must be to recover, recover and recover. The treble is an option, but we have to keep working."
