Not only have Barça secured passage into the semi finals of the Copa del Rey, but they are also "offering us their very best version", as coach Hansi Flick said after the final whistle.


Comparing this game to the equally stunning 7-1 defeat of the same team in the league less than two weeks earlier, the German said "the team went out just as focused as they did at the Estadi Olímpic ... I am happy with the way we played and how the team is concentrating on scoring goals. I like this team's mentality ... But there are some tough weeks ahead and it is very important to get everybody into form".

And although he has every right to feel pleased with what his team is achieving, he still knows there are many motives for caution. In particular, he pointed out that "the team needs to learn to manage their energy more, there are two games almost every week".
