To you Real Madrid! Hansiflik looks back on a near perfect night for Barcelona


Hansiflik was reflected on a near perfect night in Barcelona. A 1-0 victory over the real Mallorca.

Flick excluded Rafinja, Frenkie de Jong and Jules Kaunde and handed out players Ansu Fati and Hector Font, who started with his hands, but his side was still Dani Ormo’s only goal in the second half.

Barca’s advantage was reflected in the fact that he had 40 shots in the game, with Laliga’s teams the most this season, and Mallorca didn’t have single shots on target.

Pressure is facing Real Madrid

The victory moved seven points over Real Madrid, who visited Getafe tonight.

Flick said:

“We thought a lot about which players should come and which should rest. We put a lot of importance on how we manage our players. We made a lot of changes and I think we were right.”

The change had little effect on Barcelona’s flow, with Mallorca hanging long before Ormo grabbed the only goal with a nice finish.

“I think we played a very good game. There are a lot of opportunities, lots of options to shoot, and you can score goals,” Flick added. “I am happy because we finally got it and then went to zero.

“We started out very well, we defended as a team, but the way we actually played is very good and I think there are fewer mistakes than in previous games.

“It was a great performance.”

The perfect pedigree stands out again

Flick has given him a special admiration for Pedri, who was once again outstanding in the middle.

“It’s hard to put limits on Pedri. He plays at the top level, not just when he doesn’t have the ball, but even when he doesn’t have it.
