Barça beat Brest 3-0 in the Champions League knockout stages. This is their fourth win in five games so far.
Barça is climbing the ranking and is already at the top of the Champions League. The team is second in the table of 36 and has already qualified for the Champions League round of 16.
Who would've thought that after the defeat in the opening match in Monaco? Since then, one, two, three and four victories. 18 goals scored and 5 conceded.
It was precisely because of this last fact that Hansi Flick was happy, as if he had won a title. Since the 4-0 at Bernabéu, Barça had played four games. In all four of them they had conceded goals.
Flick Had a Goal
Today Flick was particularly keen to keep Iñaki Peña's goal clean, which was the case.
Without sweating, Barça has erased the image of Balaídos and returned to the winning path. Flick was also very interested in ending the rumor of "lamine-dependence". Even without him, Barça knows how to win.
Lewandowski is still on a roll, scoring twice and scoring 101 goals in the Champions League. Pedri is also putting on a show, being in the prime of his sporting career.
But Flick's luck came from defending. Brest didn't get a shot on target; the offside trap worked; the pressure started high up and everyone's intensity was commendable. There were no mistakes.
Flick was even happier when Cubarsí won the MVP. Today was a test day for the defense and it ended more than well.
