Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has noticed that he is satisfied that they are at the top again after their 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Monday evening, but that it means little in this phase of the season.
Their victory raised them on points with Real Madrid, but the Blaugrana is now at the top goal difference, because they had a shortage of seven points just a month ago.
“I am happy for the fans, for the club, for the players, it is a reward, but as I have always said, this is long. The most important thing is that we fight to the end. Being top not changes nothing if we don't fight ; “Flick told the press.
Lewandowski's penalty was the difference in the game, but he looked frustrated when he was withdrawn into the late stages, as has become usual. Ferran Torres has become a real alternative to the Polish attacker in recent months.
“I will always make the decision for the team. I understand it because he always wants to score goals, I will support Lewy and I always give him the chance to start. But I make the decisions for the team and they have to accept it. '
Pedri completed 90 minutes and brought his total forward for the season to 2,793 minutes, more than the whole of last season. His shape he has credited to Julio Tous and the fitness coaches. Another player who belongs to one of the most used Barcelona is Jules Kounde, but it was fell for Hector Fort as something of a surprise.
“It's part of football. It is something that happens and we leave it there, “he initially told the broadcast after the game, as quoted by Diario ALS. However, he confirmed that Kounde had fallen because he was late for a team meeting.
“For a game I want everyone to know what to do on the field. Before the Games we have two or three meetings. It's not that hard to get there early. I want to talk to him. He arrived late and it is a clear rule here, and that is what happened today. It is out of respect for teammates, for the club, for the fans. “
