Barcelona continued their impressive start until 2025 with a ruthless 5-0 victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey Quarterfinal draw. The Catalans are now in the last four of the competition, where they have joined Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad – they will discover their opposition in the next round on Wednesday.
According to Diario ALS, Hansi Flick expressed pleasure in the result and the implementation of his party. He also saved special praise for Ferran Torres, who was the hat trick hero against his former club.
“It is a very important victory for us. I am happy with the team. We created opportunities and scored goals from the start, and that enabled us to achieve our goal. (The number of goals we score) shows the hunger that the team has. And that the players were aimed at trying to score more goals. It's good to see that.
“It is important that everyone shows their best version. I am happy for the players because they scored well, they played well. I say it again. We played very well against Valencia. I am happy for Ferran, because he scored a hat trick. He was out after an injury and returned well. '
Another player who spoke Flick was Pedri, who still produced excellent performance at the Mestalla.
“I can't say much. You cannot compare because he is an incomparable player. He enjoys football and it's fun to watch, wherever he plays, he helps the team a lot. And he always plays for the team. I'm glad he's been here for a long time. “
Flick was also happy with his Barcelona side that held a clean slate, which was needed in the midst of recent pressure on Wojciech Szczesny.
“I think it is his job to protect the goal and he has given us stability. Today he again kept a clean slate and that is what we have. '
