Speaking after the match, Flick said the display reflected complete tactical authority, noting that his players executed every phase of the game with precision. According to BushRadio monitoring of the post-match comments, the coach highlighted his team’s ability to handle Athletic Club’s high pressing, adding that Barcelona timed their goals perfectly and could have scored even more against a well-organised opponent. Flick also underscored the emotional significance of overseeing his first competitive match at the refurbished Camp Nou, calling the evening “special” for players, staff, and supporters.

The German manager singled out Eric Garcia for praise, revealing that the defender had been trained throughout the week to operate in midfield due to the absence of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong. Flick said he had full confidence in Garcia’s ability to adapt and was pleased with his performance.

He further confirmed that Alejandro Balde’s early substitution was purely precautionary, explaining that the young defender had taken a knock to the head and was removed to avoid unnecessary risk.

Barcelona now turn their attention to their upcoming Champions League trip to Stamford Bridge, where they face Chelsea as they aim to build momentum from their emphatic league victory.
