In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 and successfully won the Spanish King's Cup. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second championship that Flick has won after coaching Barcelona.
Flick said in an interview, "This is simply a perfect day and I am very proud. For me, what the players have done is incredible and their fighting spirit has moved me very much. I admire their attitude of never giving up. I think the club, the fans and everyone will be proud of this team."
"It's really special to beat Real Madrid in the national derby and win the championship. I'm happy for my players and for the thousands of fans who supported us in the stands. They deserve this trophy. We have to celebrate and then the goal must be to recover and recover again. The treble is a good option, but we have to keep working hard."
In addition, Barcelona will host Inter Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. In the next round of La Liga, Barcelona will travel to Valladolid. Currently, Barcelona ranks first in the La Liga standings with 76 points, only 4 points ahead of Real Madrid, which is in second place. Therefore, the competition for the championship in this event is also fierce.
Flick also said, "I said at the beginning of the season that my coaching staff and I came here to create a good atmosphere in the locker room. I want the players to understand that they can enjoy the game and have the ability to play in major events. I think it is very important to create such a locker room atmosphere. This is the key to success."
