- The Barcelona coach said there was no pressure on the ball and they did not win the duels in midfield. So it was not easy for the last line to defend these fast players.
“…I'm not a coach to change this… we don't want to defend in a low block…”
- The Barcelona coach said 3-3 is not the best result for them, but they came back after every goal. The pressing was good on Sunday and less so today, with the same team, so there is no excuse.
- The Barcelona coach said everyone knows it is not the best moment for the team, but he is always positive. They think they can play on another level, maybe after the break when Pedri and others come back.
- Asked again whether to change the way they play, the Barcelona coach said he had answered that two questions before. It is not the way to change; their style is to be active and have intensity.
- The Barcelona coach said he is happy one player is back on this level, but the important thing is how he manages his situation, with training and treatments. Hopefully it goes away.
Hansi Flick addressed growing questions about Barcelona’s defensive fragility after a frustrating 3–3 draw in the UEFA Champions League 2025/2026.
Barcelona manager was asked directly whether it’s time to change the high line and abandon the offside trap that has repeatedly been exposed by fast transitions and sharp finishing.
Flick acknowledged the possibility of switching to a low block defense but insisted that Barça must remain loyal to their football DNA which is playing with intensity while pressing high and staying active both with and without the ball.
