According to reports, Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s head coach, appeared at the press conference with a big smile after his team’s dramatic victory over Celta. His team managed to turn a 1-3 deficit into a win in the final 28 minutes—a comeback that could have complicated La Liga for Barça if it hadn’t happened.

Flick praised his players’ spirit, belief, ambition, and enthusiasm but emphasized that the comeback was due to the quality of football they displayed in the last half-hour.

He said: “Where legs fail, the mind must step in.” However, he believes everything depends on football and the players’ physical readiness: “Everyone is responsible for their own physical condition. We are here to help players perform at their best in every game.”

In this context, Flick specifically pointed to Dani Olmo, the player who changed the game after coming on. Olmo, whose high quality Flick praised, scored the second goal just five minutes after entering and then won the penalty that led to Raphinha’s winning goal.

This attacking midfielder is crucial for Barcelona’s success at the end of the season. Flick set a clear challenge for him: “Olmo must show his quality in every game, just as a father now plays at an extraordinary level. This is what we expect from Dani too.” He said that if Olmo reaches this level, everyone will be very happy.

Olmo has not had consistent playing time this season due to sporadic injuries, but every time he has played, he has been impactful—like in the match against Rayo Vallecano in the third week of La Liga, which was his first game.

He has played 1,443 minutes in 30 games, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists. Statistics show that if he can maintain consistent playing time, his impact could be terrifying. Now he is ready to be a key player against Mallorca and in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid. Flick and Barcelona fans are thrilled.
