Oct 27, V7N- Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed immense pride in his team following their remarkable 4-0 victory over Real Madrid on Saturday, which ended Madrid's impressive 42-game unbeaten streak in LaLiga. This win also marked Barcelona's first Clasico victory since March 2023. Flick celebrated the triumph as part of a phenomenal week for the club, which also included a 4-1 rout of Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.
 
"I'm delighted to be working at Barcelona and living here. It's a fantastic job, and I'm very happy," Flick said at the post-match press conference. His tenure has seen Barcelona achieve 10 wins in 11 LaLiga matches, showcasing a strong start to his time at the club.
 
Although Real Madrid initially controlled the game, Robert Lewandowski's quick second-half double shifted momentum in favor of Barcelona. Lamine Yamal and captain Raphinha added further goals late in the match, leaving the Bernabeu crowd in shock.
 
Flick highlighted the team's improved pressing, ball possession, and defensive strategies as key factors in their success. "We pressed better with and without the ball. The defensive effort was crucial, and we trained a lot on how to defend with a high line," he noted, adding that avoiding gaps against a team like Real Madrid is essential due to their talented players.
 
With this victory, Barcelona solidified their position at the top of LaLiga with 30 points, six points ahead of Real Madrid and nine ahead of third-placed Villarreal.
