In Sunday's 4-1 victory over Sevilla, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed his pride in his team's performance, lauding their maturity in managing the game and scoring a late goal despite playing more than 30 minutes with just 10 men. Fermin Lopez was given a straight red card for a vicious foul on Djibril Sow in the 60th minute, after Barca had taken a 3-1 lead thanks to goals from Raphinha and Fermin Lopez early in the second half.

However, Barca, who had already taken the lead via Robert Lewandowski, managed to hold off Sevilla and score its fourth goal in the 89th minute thanks to a header from Eric Garcia, moving them closer to the top of La Liga. “I value this victory so much, they were brilliant out there and showed a lot of character and guts,” Flick told DAZN.
