“I saw the players dancing in the dressing room! We were fantastic”

Barcelona started 2026 perfectly with a trophy and a win in El Clasico. The German technician praised his players, but also about his incredible record: out of 8 contested finals, he managed to win them all.

Hansi Flick reacts after Barcelona win the Spanish Super Cup: “It's a fantastic feeling”

“It's a fantastic feeling. When you play a final, especially an El Clasico, it's fantastic to win. I'm proud of the game. That's all I can say.

I saw the players dancing in the dressing room. I think we were fantastic. During the game we played in our style. It wasn't easy, but we fought together, as a team and that was it.

Raphinha's mentality is incredible. He missed the first opportunity, then scored the first goal. He gained self-confidence. He plays with a lot of intensity.

What is my secret to winning finals? To score one more goal than the opponent. It's not about me, it's about the players. It's about mindset and confidence. I don't think about the past. Today's final is important and victory is always special.

We don't know if this win can propel us through the whole season, because the situations are different. Last season we were a few points behind in the standings, and now we are ahead. But when you look at the team, you get a good feeling. I didn't say it, but again I want to emphasize that the players who came on in the second half were important. This is the spirit of the team and that's what I like the most”, said Hansi Flick, according to the Spaniards from AS.

I knew he was going to come with a big desire. And we were eager after the last game we played against them. I was stiff in the first few minutes. Vinicius scored a beautiful goal, we should have stopped him faster, we scored, it looked like the referee was going to blow the whistle, but they scored once more. Araujo contributes a lot to the atmosphere in the locker room. The pre-match speech moved us all
