Barcelona did a number of sales this summer while trying to relieve their well -documented financial misery, and a player who made his exit was Pau Victor. The young attacker only arrived permanently in 2024, but 12 months later he was sold to Portuguese Side Braga.
Victor has spoken for the first time since he left Barcelona, because he was interviewed by Jijantes (via MD). He admitted that he loved his time in the club, even if he struggled for fame last season.
“I felt very popular in Barcelona and I noticed it in my farewell instagram -post. I score when I score, I receive many joy messages from Culés and it is very nice. The year was incredible for everyone, I enjoyed it a lot, but I was playing it on an ambitious level. This.
“It was not an easy decision because you never know if you are going to return. I had to talk about it with my agent, my partner, my parents … but with the arrival of Rashford, with the level of everyone in advance and talk to Flick, I think we have made the best decision for everyone.”
Victor also spoke strongly about Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick, whom he did not miss a bit about his lack of minutes last season.
“When I didn't play, the coach always cared a lot about my mental level – so that the intensity did not fall in training. I understood that it was difficult and there were several players in my situation, so it was normal for him to distribute the minutes.
“I would have liked to play more on an ambitious level, and because of the number of matches I could have had that, but seeing what I had for me, it was complicated. I have no complaints and when I left, I sent him a message of thanks and he told me he wanted the best and that he would keep an eye on Braga. He was like a father of us.”
