“It's a problem I don't like,” Hansi Flick says after the victory against Real Madrid

FC Barcelona won a thrilling Clasico against Real Madrid on Saturday night in the United States, with a 2-1 victory. Despite the success, new coach Hansi Flick was critical of his team, highlighting the mistakes they made.

The two historic Spanish rivals faced each other on Saturday night as part of their pre-season tour in the United States. Both coaches were unable to use all their players due to the recent national team tournaments. Lamine Yamal, Jules Koundé, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé were absent from the field. Barça, fielding a very young team, took the lead thanks to a double from Pau Victor (42nd and 54th), while Real Madrid, with starters such as Eder Militao and Luka Modric, reduced the deficit through Nico Paz in the 82nd minute.

After the match, Hansi Flick, who won his first Clasico as coach of the Catalan club, spoke at a press conference. The German coach was not satisfied with his team's performance during the 90 minutes. “We didn't keep the pressure on throughout the game, which is a problem I don't like. We have to improve and make that possible,” he said.

“We improved since the game against Manchester City. I really liked our game when we had the ball. The impressions are very good. It's only a friendly, but we did very well. Pau Víctor? He scored three goals in two games. That's not bad! He knows how to be effective. We'll see if he stays with us. The door is open. It's great to have these 17, 16 and 18-year-old footballers. They're doing very well and seizing their chances. Alex Valle did a good job, he can play on the right or the left. Alejandro Balde and Héctor also did very well.“, he concluded.
