Hansi Flick criticised refereeing decisions after Barcelona beat Mallorca 3-0 to extend their lead in La Liga.

Flick happy with result, not With First Half

Barcelona continued their strong run in La Liga after 3-0 home win against Mallorca in round 23.

The victory strengthened Barcelona’s position at the top of the table but head coach Hansi Flick was not fully satisfied.

Speaking after the match, Flick said he was unhappy with his team’s performance in the first half.

He explained that Barcelona did not play at their usual level and lacked speed in their build-up.

Flick admitted the match was slow early on even though the final result was positive.

Strong second half & three key goals

Barcelona improved after the break and controlled the game. Goals from Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Marc Bernal secured clean win at Spotify Camp Nou.

Flick said the second half showed how he wants his team to play.

He also highlighted the importance of taking the three point scoring three goals and keeping clean sheet calling it good day overall.

Referee decisions frustrate Barcelona coach

Despite the win, Flick expressed clear frustration with referee Alejandro Quintero.

He questioned possible penalty incident involving Lamine Yamal and also complained about the position of Mallorca’s defensive wall during free kick.

Flick said he did not understand why he received yellow card and felt it was unfair.

He explained that he only pointed out that the wall was too close to the ball and believed Yamal deserved penalty.

La Masia in the spotlight

The match also had strong youth angle. Flick praised La Masia, Barcelona’s academy after Marc Bernal scored his first goal for the club and Tommy Marqués made his first-team debut.

Flick said trusting young players is good for the club and part of Barcelona’s identity.

He added that Marqués shows confidence on the ball and can play in several positions.

The coach also stressed that with many matches ahead, every player will be important.
