Hansi Flick expressed his grief over the death of his father just hours before Barcelona secured the title: "I will never forget this day."

Hansi Flick had a day he will never forget. The German coach celebrated a victory with Barcelona over Real Madrid, achieving a triumph in front of his arch-rival. However, just hours before, he received the news of his father's passing. It was a day filled with intense emotions. The coach decided to remain on the bench and, understandably, was a key figure in a crucial match. Both his players and the opposing team approached him to offer their condolences. In fact, the prelude to the "Clásico" was marked by a minute of silence in honor of his father, during which he was visibly moved. There were countless expressions of support for him. Hugs were frequent, with a particularly close embrace from club president Joan Laporta. After the match, he was lifted into the air by the Barcelona players. Following the securing of another league title for Barcelona, Flick addressed the press: "I will never forget this moment. It was a difficult day for me. My father passed away, but here, the team was fantastic, and I am delighted. They gave their all," he told Movistar+. Flick, visibly emotional on a day filled with emotions. Flick sent a message to his players: "I am very proud of my players," he said. "It is impressive. You can see it. It wasn't easy. Everyone thought we could win, but Real Madrid is a great team. We played and defended well," he added. However, he cautioned that the season is not over and there is still one more goal: "We have three more matches to play, and we want to reach 100 points," he said. He also spoke about the passing of his father: "This morning, when my mother called and told me that my father had passed away, I wondered if it would be better to explain it and not tell the team. But in the end, they are like a family, and I wanted to tell them. I will never forget how they reacted. I am very happy to work for this magnificent team," he said. "It makes me feel very proud, and I think you can see the connection we have. Everyone feels like part of the project, it is connected. Today, it is very difficult to talk about this, but I am very happy. I dreamed of this, and I have more dreams," he continued. Finally, he expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of affection: "I have never felt so much affection; it is incredible. From the first contact I had with the president, Deco, and when I arrived in Barcelona, everyone welcomed us very well," he concluded.
