Hansi Flick is starting to believe it, even if he doesn't dare to admit it publicly. Not even in his wildest dreams could he have imagined when he signed for Barça that he would manage to form such a powerful team. After the 4-0 against Dortmund, he was especially happy.
"The result and the way it came are important. The most important thing is to play well, and when you play like that, you end up scoring goals."
"We aren't qualified yet. You never know what's going to happen, soccer is a crazy sport. In Dortmund, we have to play like today, doing what we know how to do and with few mistakes."
"The three forwards are very important, but also when you see the defense or those who come off the bench and are decisive."
"Lamine is fine. He has played too many minutes lately, it was good that Ansu could play. He's training very well and deserved to play."
Lamine Yamal asked for a change in the final stages of the match, which allowed Ansu Fati to return to activity as a protagonist. At the end of the match, Hansi Flick downplayed Lamine Yamal's discomfort, which is due to the saturation of matches. But on Saturday, Lamine Yamal will be in Leganés.
Raphinha: "I'm Here to Score Goals"
Raphinha, meanwhile, scored the first goal, which was controversial and was close to being disallowed. In fact, the goal was scored by Cubarsí, but Raphinha put his foot on the same line. And he scored one more goal that allows him to lead the tournament's scoring table with 12 goals.
"I was worried about whether it was offside, I had doubts. I had touched the ball inside the line and it was mine. Cubarsí understood it, we talked about it, and there's no problem."
"My scoring records? I'm here for that, to score goals."
"I love playing with very high-level teammates, we know each other very well, and this is important. We're putting up spectacular numbers, and I hope to continue like this."
"We aren't in the semifinals, I can't say that because there's another match. And in front of their fans, Dortmund is a tough team because they have a lot of quality."
"We've got a good result, and we want to play a good match in Dortmund next week."
Lewandowski: "We're Four Steps Away from the Goal"
The other goal-scoring protagonist of the night, Robert Lewandowski, scored a double. And he's already second, with 11 goals, in the Champions League's scoring table. Only Raphinha surpasses him.
"I think we played very well. But we aren't thinking about the semifinals, there's one more match. We always have to play our soccer, and we'll do that in Dortmund too."
"We're going there to win, it's always our goal. We're very happy. We played very well in the second half."
"In Dortmund, we have to play the same or better. We always have to be prepared. This is the Champions League, and we always want to be at our level."
"We play as a team, that's the most important thing. Whether Lamine, Raphinha, or I score... we do it for Barça."
"If we play well together and are good, even off the field, this team has a lot of potential. We have four more steps ahead."
"I'm very happy with my numbers. 99 goals with Barça. In my mind, I always have to help the team besides scoring."
"A forward always has to think about goals, but if we play well as a team, it's easier for me."
