Hans-Dieter Flick commented on the match against Espanyol in the 18th round of La Liga.
Idman.Biz reports that the match ended with a 2:0 victory for Barcelona.
"I'm happy with the three points. Of course. There are things that need to be improved, but I'm happy with the three points. The substitutes showed their qualities.
Espanyol put on a fantastic performance. It was a derby with a great atmosphere. We didn't deserve the victory, but the level we showed after the substitutions was important.
I'm happy for Joan Garcia; he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. I'm not happy with the first 80 minutes; Joan made a lot of saves.
Like any victory, this victory gives us self-confidence. It wasn't easy to play after the Christmas holidays, but after this victory, we gained confidence. Let's hope everything will work out (in the Spanish Super Cup). I am very happy with what I saw in training. We had difficulties, but we won three points.
I understand the importance of the derby. Many people on the streets were waiting for this game. I know how important it is to win this match. I'm happy," said the head coach of Barcelona.
