By Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick and Lamine Yamal's goal, Barcelona easily defeated Celta Vigo 4-2 away in the league, narrowing the gap with Real Madrid to 3 points.
After the game, head coach Hansi Flick affirmed the team's performance in the second half during an interview.
The following is the content of the post-game quick interview.
About the Competition
We played better in the second half, and our defense improved significantly. Today was a fulfilling day. Our pressing was good, and I am very satisfied with the team's performance with the ball and fighting spirit.
Narrowed the point gap with Real Madrid
As I said earlier, we focused on ourselves. We regained our excellent pressing, so I'm very satisfied. It's good to win before the break.
Frenkie de Jong was sent off for two yellow cards and will miss the match against Athletic Bilbao. Do you think this is fair? How would you evaluate his performance today?
His performance has been excellent; he took control of the game and was the key to our ability to dominate the situation. Currently, he is in amazing form, and we are delighted about this. It's not good that he will be suspended for the next game because his presence is very important to us, especially today, but we have to deal with this situation. By then, Pedri and Raphinha will return, and there's also a possibility that Joan will come back. We'll see, and we'll handle it well.
Does this game count as an example that can be used to persuade players to play the way you want?
Yes (laughs). I've always wanted to say something to those experts, the former players or former coaches, but I decided not to, otherwise it would give you (the media) too many topics, and it would be so noisy around us.
We will analyze this game. As I said before, having many injured players is not an excuse, but we hope they can all return as soon as possible. Gavi and Marc still need a little more time, but in any case, the team has no problems. Our Champions League campaign continues, and of course we would like to get two more points, but I think the one point we got against Club Brugge is very important.

imagine a club so predictable I'm so ashamed when a friend told me Barcelona will conceive at least 2 goals and it came to pass

But we cannot think of the defeat against Sevilla.Goals conceding regularly is not a good thing. Araujo seems lethargic in his performance, though he had scored a winning goal early. He wants goals and always stands in the opposite goal area not caring his defence responsibility. He can be deployed as a single defence midfielder!

Not every team is Celta Virgo. Some will successfully take advantage of your highline, as seen with some tactical coaches.
