Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has reaffirmed his commitment to the club’s famous attacking philosophy after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League last night. Despite the chaotic scoreline, Flick praised his players’ resilience and reiterated that he has no plans to abandon the principles that define Barça’s footballing DNA, Softfootball reports.
It was a rollercoaster of a night at the Jan Breydel stadium as Barcelona found themselves trailing three times before clawing back into the game, with Lamine Yamal once again playing a starring role. The 18-year-old wonderkid was involved in two of Barcelona’s goals, showcasing his confidence and brilliance in key moments.
Before the game, Flick had spoken about protecting Yamal’s growth and ensuring he develops without unnecessary pressure, and last night’s performance proved why the teenager is being regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting young players.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Flick made it clear after the draw that while results are important, maintaining Barcelona’s traditional identity remains his top priority. Romano posted;
Flick’s words underline a long-term vision rooted in creativity and control, rather than pragmatism. Though the team has adapted to his methods, the German tactician seems determined to blend results with the artistry that has defined Barcelona for decades.
Barcelona’s next step will be to turn their trademark attacking flair into consistent victories as they prepare for their upcoming La Liga fixture against Celta Vigo this weekend, with Yamal once again expected to play a key role in Flick’s vibrant, forward-thinking system.
