Hansi Flick was asked about the possibility of facing Jose Mourinho if Mourinho becomes Real Madrid coach. Flick said he would welcome the challenge and is always ready to face any opponent. Flick also assessed Barcelona’s performance in the final match against Valencia, admitting the team was not at its best at Mestalla. After conceding 0-1, Barcelona made easy mistakes that Valencia capitalized on to score and win. Flick stated the defeat does not affect the season, which ended with a title. He noted the World Cup is approaching and players have focused on it, and he will analyze issues to improve for the next season.
"Yes, why not? He's the opposing team's coach, and I'm always ready to face anyone,"
"We made some rather easy mistakes after going down 0-1, and they capitalized on them to score the goals that gave them the victory,"
"This defeat doesn't affect the season we've had, which ended with the title. We accept the result because Valencia's victory was more than deserved. It was clear they had more to play for."
"We have to understand that the World Cup is coming up and that's a dream for any footballer. It's understandable that the players have focused a bit more on that important goal, and I have to understand that."
