Barcelona achieved their second and well-deserved victory in the Spanish League this season over Athletic Bilbao, with a score of 2/1, at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic.
Barcelona’s goals were scored by Lamine Yamal in the 24th minute and Lewandowski in the 74th minute, while Athletic Bilbao’s goal was scored by Obhan Sanset in the 42nd minute from a penalty kick caused by Coparsi.
This victory is considered a great success for the new coach of the Catalan team, Hans Flick, who is suffering from a severe shortage of players due to injuries as well as salary cap problems that have caused Dani Olmo not to register in the La Liga League yet.
The German coach wanted to make it clear that his approach does not rely on making excuses for absences such as Dani Olmo, who has not yet been registered, or injured players: “I always try to look at things from the positive side in any circumstance, and that is what I told the team, that we have to accept things as they come, especially those that we cannot change.”
“Without regretting what we can’t change, there’s no need to make excuses and the team is working well. It’s true that there are a lot of injured players, some from last season like Frenkie and Gavi. Ansu is also much better and he’s already shown that at the start of pre-season and we hope he recovers to 100%,” he added.
Flick was asked about the famous photo of him with Nico Williams after the match, and the German coach revealed: “I said to Nico Williams: ‘Congratulations on a great Euro Cup’”
