"He's special. Not all players are like him. I like his attitude, his dynamism... he changes the course of a match with his movement, his passing... he also scores,"
"Joan made a great save. And he keeps another clean sheet," he added. "Joan played because we decided to, and it was a good decision after watching the game. We'll see in the next Cup matches; I haven't decided yet. He might play them all, it will depend on whether he's tired."
"For Racing, this is one of the most important matches in recent years. These matches aren't won on reputation, they're won on attitude," he explained. "We had a great attitude and the team played very seriously, with the right mentality, and that's what I like most. Racing played a great match; maybe next year we'll see them in the First Division, we'd like that."
Barcelona advanced in the Copa del Rey after Fermin López came off the bench and set up Ferran Torres's opener. Hansi Flick described López as special, praising his attitude, dynamism, movement, passing and scoring ability and saying he is always in the right position. Flick highlighted Joan García's vital late save that preserved another clean sheet and noted that García played by managerial choice. Goalkeeper selection for future Cup matches remains undecided and may depend on fatigue. Flick praised the squad's serious mentality and work rate against a determined Racing side and acknowledged Racing's strong performance.
