""I don't like seeing myself in this state on television, and I don't want my grandchildren to see their grandfather like that," Flick said. "So I probably have to change my behaviour.""
""I remember when I was coach of Bayern Munich, the footage of the match against Barca showed that I had the same reaction to the first, second and eighth goals," said Flick. "People said I never smiled!""
""Right now I'm showing more emotion, it's true, because this club has completely changed me. "Maybe I should control my impulses, but I love Barca, Barcelona and its people, and that's why I always give my all.""
Hansi Flick received a yellow card for sarcastically clapping the fourth official after four minutes of stoppage time were signalled. A later obscene gesture during celebrations after Ronald Araujo's late winner resulted in a second yellow and a red card. Flick stated he does not want his grandchildren to see him in that state and said he probably has to change his behaviour. Flick attributed the raised finger to his deep feelings for Barcelona since taking charge in May 2024. The red card carries a touchline ban that will confine him to the stands for El Clasico, and Barcelona are appealing the decision.
