Hansi Flick: 'I'm proud of the team'

Conflicting emotions for Hansi Flick after the excellent victory over Villarreal in the Estadio de la Cerámica. Barça's German coach was delighted with his team's performance in the 5-1 win away from home to record a sixth win in six matches in La Liga. However, Flick was also concerned over the injury to goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen just before half time in the win. 

"I am very proud of the way the team played and the role of my players. That fans have enjoyed a fantastic, dynamic match," said the coach. "I'm happy because the team was compact at all time, in attack and in defence. We were intense during the 90 minutes and I love that attitude. We were focused at all time but we also enjoyed playing some good football," continued the German. 

For the Barça boss it was a team victory. Asked about Lamine Yamal's performance, Flick also pointed out the figures of Raphinha, Lewandowski and the defence. The one individual he did comment on was fellow German Marc-André ter Stegen and his injury. "He is a very important player for us and I'm sad, it was accidental," concluded the blaugrana boss.
