Flick Finds Encouragement in Barcelona’s Champions League Loss to PSG

Hansi Flick insisted he was encouraged by Barcelona’s display despite a 4-2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.

Both managers reflected positively on an entertaining contest. Luis Enrique praised his side’s defensive resilience and overall quality, while Flick highlighted the value of the test against elite opposition.

“I think it was a fantastic game from both teams,” Flick said. “We made a few too many mistakes in possession. We have to analyse the game, but I also saw a lot of great things. It was a great test for us today. We’ve seen what things we need to do better, and that’s what we’ll do.

“Paris were also great. This was a top, top level match. I am so happy. I saw a lot of things good from my team, but I saw also things that we can make better, so we have to work on that.”
