Flick also credited the team's mental strength and the impact of the Christmas break, which gave them a boost. He mentioned that winning the Super Cup gave the team confidence, and players like Frenkie de Jong have improved significantly. Flick is proud of the team's improvement and their ability to adapt to a new attacking philosophy.

When asked about the team celebrations, Flick said he instructed the players to take the celebrations inside the away dressing room instead of on the Espanyol pitch. This was to avoid a repeat of a previous incident two years ago. Flick believes that the team's positive attitude and training sessions have contributed to their success. He emphasized that winning titles, including the Supacopa, Copa del Rey, and LaLiga, is essential for Barcelona, and the team is happy with their achievement.

Flick also noted that Espanyol played a good game, pressing well and closing down the opponent. He advised his team to be faster when the opponent is closed down, and Yamal's goal was a result of this strategy.
