"Hansi Flick is a very serious person, who plans everything, but at the same time, he has a special sensitivity, you can see that in his dealings with the players. "I'm in favour of Flick. He's human, and a reaction like the one he had in football can happen. It's normal and part of the passion of football; it's not meant to hurt anyone.""
""Gil Manzano made a mistake waiting for Flick's reaction. He could have turned around and continued. "That's when the sending-off came. He reacted in the last minute when we scored the goal.""
""We are rivals and we're playing for the top spot. The current relationship with Real Madrid is one of institutional respect,""
Joan Laporta expressed full support for coach Hansi Flick after Flick became animated and was sent off during the match against Girona. Flick celebrated Ronald Araujo's late match-winning goal and protested referee decisions, provoking the dismissal. Laporta described Flick as a serious, detail-oriented coach with special sensitivity toward players and called the reaction human and part of football's passion. Laporta blamed referee Gil Manzano for waiting for Flick's reaction and issuing the sending-off at the final moment. Laporta also addressed the upcoming El Clasico, noted the rivalry for the top spot and institutional respect with Real Madrid, and referenced Barcelona's match in Miami.
