“We beat Villarreal 5-1, it was a fantastic game. I congratulate the players, they did a great job,” the German coach said after the game.

“Villarreal had clear chances but pressing in the opposition half is our style of play, we have to be compact and we do that very well. It’s risky but we’ve been successful in doing that so far in the league.

“I am proud that the team has overcome difficulties. Villarreal is a team that never gives up, but we kept looking for opportunities to score goals. That’s what I wanted, to press where the ball was.

“The injuries of (Marc) Bernal and (Marc-Andre) ter Stegen were accidents, but we are doing well and have a very good attitude. We will focus on playing football and doing what we have to do. I am happy to coach this team.” Flick said

“We know that Girona’s strength is having the ball. We have to press well, defend as a block, stay well positioned and not give them any space.” Flick added.

“It will be a tactical battle, but we want the ball and, if we have it. We have a good chance of winning. It will be a good test for us, it will be like a Champions League match.”
