Flick puts team’s title triumph down to ‘unique’ family culture within the squad

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was excited with the overall performance of his players during a dominant season that culminated in a 28th Laliga title for the club on Thursday after beating Espanyol 2-0.

Unbeaten since the end of December in the domestic competition, Barcelona also won the Spanish Super Cup in January and the Copa del Rey by beating Real Madrid in the final.

“I think we have been great in the second part of the season. We have not lost a game and that is just great. Congratulations to the team, the club and the fans. We are very happy with what we have achieved,” Flick said a press conference.

“I don't think I had enough time to explain it all season, but I attach great importance to the culture we have created, this family that we have created.

“A lot of work is being done, with a lot of passion and a great mentality … It is really nice to see this family that we have created. How we take care of each other. It's unique, I'm happy.”

Flick praised teen sensation Lamine Yamal, who opened the score against Espanyol with an excellent strike in the second half, but insisted that Barcelona is much more than just the 17-year-old winger.

“It's Barcelona's Laliga. It's not about one player. Of course Lamine has been important, but we are a team and that is the most important thing. The team as a whole,” said Flick.

“Everyone has done their job very well. We are a team. This is what we wanted. We have given the best version for this club. All fans can be proud.

“Lamine has already scored more goals like this. He trains the same movement every day, but today was just a perfect goal.”
