After the resounding victory over Bayern Munich, Hansi Flick surprises the Barcelona star with these historic words and chooses him as the best player in the match

Barcelona stunned Bayern Munich with a decisive 4-1 victory, complicating the German club’s Champions League prospects. The match took place on Wednesday evening at the Luis Cubanes Olympic Stadium during the third round of the group stage. With this win, Barcelona moved to 6 points in tenth place, while Bayern remained at 3 points in 23rd, intensifying their challenges.

According to “El Nacional,” the German coach, Hansi Flick, expressed his satisfaction with Barcelona’s impressive performance. He was quick to congratulate young midfielder Marc Casado, praising his exceptional display, including his pressing and ball recovery efforts. Flick encouraged the entire team to acknowledge Casado’s contributions.

Flick also commended Barcelona’s Pedri for his outstanding performance, which he described as a benchmark for midfielders worldwide. He notably recognized Brazilian star Rafinha, stating, “You played a match that will be remembered for years,” and declared him the best player in the world, igniting pre-Clásico tensions after Ancelotti had claimed Vinicius was the top player. Flick’s comments underscored Rafinha’s significance to the team and the ongoing rivalry.

In a surprising turn of events, Laporta made his way to the team’s locker room right after the historic match. He embraced the standout player, Rafinha, telling him, “You enchanted the whole world tonight; what an amazing player you are.”

Laporta then praised another key player, Marc Casado, saying, “If you hadn’t been here tonight, things would have changed significantly. You are Barcelona’s priceless jewel.”

Despite the monumental victory, Flick spoke with Barcelona’s French star Koundé, advising him to remain focused for the upcoming Clasico against Real Madrid. He emphasized the importance of containing Vinicius Junior, urging Koundé not to push too far forward to avoid leaving gaps in defense.
