Barcelona coach Hansi Flick praised his team’s attacking mentality after they secured a 4-1 win over Girona to restore their three-point lead at the top of LaLiga. The win marked the 20th time this season Barça have scored four or more goals in a match, as Robert Lewandowski netted two strikes and Ferran Torres added to the tally.
The team’s impressive form has seen them average over three goals per game, with Lewandowski becoming the club’s top scorer for the year. His brace took his tally to 38 goals across all competitions, edging him ahead of Kylian Mbappé in the Pichichi award race.
Flick attributed Lewandowski’s success to his work ethic and dedication. “I know he wants to win the Pichichi, but the important thing is the team,” Flick said. “When we win and score goals, maybe the chances that he wins the Pichichi are much more.”
The coach also expressed confidence in Brazilian midfielder Raphinha’s return for Wednesday’s Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Atlético Madrid, despite the player feeling “more discomfort” due to a minor injury.
Barça’s unbeaten run continues, with 20 consecutive matches across all competitions without loss. The team’s attacking mentality has been on full display, and Flick is delighted to see his players thriving under pressure.
