Olmo and Victor's good news a 'boost' for Barcelona, says Flick

Hansi Flick appeared at a press conference after the 2-0 win over Athletic. The Barcelona coach was delighted that Dani Olmo and Pau Victor will be allowed to register, news that he believes gave them "a boost" towards the win. He also hoped that the return of both players will also be positive for Sunday's final against the winner of the Real Madrid-Mallorca game.

The German coach praised Lamine Yamal's performance on his return from injury and denied that his substitution an hour into the game had affected the team's performance: "I don't think so. We have to look after him because he is the person who gave us the win. I am very happy with what we have done".

"It's a very good result. The team played a good game and that's what's important,’ Flick stressed to the media.

Regarding the change in goal and his decision to give Szczesny the start over Inaki Pena, the coach gave no explanation, nor did he specify that it was because he arrived late for the last preparatory session for the match. "It was my decision to leave him on the bench," he said.
