Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised his team's performance against Brest in the Champions League (3-0), saying that after the recent league draw against Celta de Vigo (2-2), his players showed "how strong" they can be.

In the post-match press conference after the European clash, the German coach emphasized that his team had taken "an important step in the right direction," though he wished for "more hunger" to score more goals.

Direct qualification, Flick's goal:

"We want to finish in the top eight, and winning is very important. We know our next match will be a tough one in Dortmund, but we’re ready," he added about the team's situation in the top European competition.

One of the stars of the match was forward Robert Lewandowski, who with his two goals against Brest has now scored 101 goals in the 'Champions League'. On the Polish striker, Flick pointed out that he is a "very important" player for his squad and mentioned that his teammates "support" him to help him score.

The backbone of Barcelona: Pedri

Another standout player in the match was Pedro González 'Pedri', who Flick highlighted for "controlling the game with the ball." He also mentioned Pablo Páez Gavira 'Gavi', who continues to gain minutes after his injury, and Dani Olmo, who scored the second goal of the game.

On Frenkie de Jong, who played the final minutes of the match and received some boos when he entered the field, the German coach explained that the Dutchman "is doing well" in training and is working to return "to the level he had before the ankle injury."
