"I knew before this would be tough game," Flick added. "For me, it was important to get a clean sheet. Of course, the big chance they have to make it 1-1, 30 seconds before our second goal, it was important to save it. "Thanks to Joan, it was absolutely [a great save]. It was a big chance for them but he saved good and, in the end, I am happy to be in the next round."
