Barça: Hansi Flick depressed after victory against Alaves, Raphinha explains

Hansi Flick

On Saturday night, Hansi Flick appeared downcast despite Barça's win over Alaves. Raphinha revealed the reason why.

Despite Barça's 3-1 victory over Alavés at the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday evening, one image caught the eye of observers. Hansi Flick looked dejected and visibly preoccupied as he sat on the bench. He was talking with Raphinha, who tried to comfort him. DAZN cameras captured this unusual moment, where the coach seemed almost on the verge of tears.

The real reason for his somber mood, revealed by Helena Condis on Cope and confirmed by Raphinha, runs deep. The Brazilian explained that the German coach felt the team could perform much better on the pitch: "The coach's feeling is that we didn't play our best version. But the most important thing was to win, and we have time to correct our mistakes."
