Yet another comeback, only this time in the Champions League to secure victory against Eintracht Frankfurt thanks to a brace from Jules Kounde. "I'm happy and proud of the team," said Hansi Flick in the post game press conference following his side's win on Match Day six of the league phase of the competition. 

 

"It wasn't an easy match, as Eintracht showed themselves to be a very dynamic and fast team, and they also defended well. I'm proud because we adjusted our approach at half-time and it worked. We adapted to the situation, and I want to congratulate my coaching staff for the work they've done," commented the German coach. He was also pleased with Marcus Rashford's performance: "He gave us width and allowed us to stretch their defensive line."

Coach Hansi Flick also had words for the hero of the night at Spotify Camp Nou. "Honestly, I didn't expect Kounde to score two goals, but he's a very important player for us because of his mentality," explained the Barça coach.

Inevitably, one of the most repeated words was ‘comeback.' "On one hand, I'm happy to come back because it shows the team's good mentality, attitude, and competitiveness; we never give up. But on the other hand, it would also be nice to start matches winning." Still, the German highlighted the positives from his side's performance: "It wasn't easy to create chances against Eintracht, but we managed to do it."

"We want the six points that remain"

As Flick pointed out, the most important thing is that they picked up the three points: "We have to go game by game. In the Champions League, it's not easy to play against these opponents, but our goal is to finish this group stage with six more points. We always play to win." The victory was all the more sweeter because it came on their return to Spotify Camp Nou: "It's fantastic to feel the fans. They gave us an extra boost of energy," remarked a proud Flick.
