For Fermin Lopez, the moment carried a particularly personal meaning after rising through La Masia and achieving success with the first team.
“I’ve been a Barça fan since I was a child, I’ve lived at La Masia and it’s a dream to experience this.”
Another emotional reaction came from Raphinha, who once again praised Flick for restoring his confidence and helping the squad believe in themselves.
“We often say that football gives you a big family, and to me he’s like a father; he’s made me believe in myself again and I’m really happy for us and for him.”
The Brazilian winger also reflected on Barcelona’s difficult moments earlier in the season and the way the team managed to recover strongly when it mattered most.
“At the start of the season, we set out to win titles, and that’s what it’s all about. Winning a league title is something to celebrate properly because it’s a big deal.
“Everyone goes through tough times, but in the end, coming back from difficult moments stronger is something few can do, and this team has shown it knows how.”
