Hansi Flick continues to lead his FC Barcelona team to victory after victory, and the Catalans are already proving themselves to be serious title contenders in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League this season.

Their latest win came over Red Star Belgrade in the UCL, and with this victory, the Blaugranes have now won their last seven matches in all competitions and their last three matches in the UCL.

As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the German tactician talked to the press after this game, and expressed his happiness in getting another big win in a difficult match:

“The three points are the most important thing for us. It’s not easy to win away from home in this competition, and we put in a good performance.”

“I’m very happy and greatly value what we’re doing. We played very well with the ball, and also in defending and applying good pressure.”

The defender Inigo Martinez had commented before the game that it was not easy to stay focused for a full match against a side like Red Star Belgrade. The German tactician agreed with his defender:

“I agree with him on the fact that we pressured for 90 minutes. It’s not easy to stay focused the entire match against a team like Red Star.”

There is no doubt that this was an important win for Barcelona. With the three points won against Red Star Belgrade, the Blaugranes are now standing 6th in the UCL League Phase table.

As the first eight teams will directly advance to the Round of 16, this is a very good position for Barcelona, as they would not have to play in the play-off round.

Thus, hopefully, Flick will be able to get his team to retain this position in the top eight in the coming weeks to ensure his team’s participation in the next round of the competition as soon as possible.
