Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has given his team a green light to dream after their thrilling 5-4 aggregate win over Atletico Madrid, booking their spot in the Copa del Rey final. The German manager expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, acknowledging that it was an “easy” game for Atletico but praised Barcelona’s bravery and professionalism.

“We played really brave in the first half, and although we suffered a bit in the second half,” Flick said after the match. “The defenders did a great job in keeping a clean sheet and winning here is not easy, especially against one of the best teams in Europe.”

Flick encouraged his team to keep their focus and work hard ahead of their upcoming matches, including Saturday’s La Liga clash with Real Betis. With the Copa del Rey final just around the corner, Barcelona will face another intense period of competition, but Flick believes in his team’s abilities.
