Hansi Flick
Hours after the death of his father, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick led his team to the La Liga title with a win over Real Madrid, saying it was a day he would “never” forget. Marcus Rashford (9th min) and Ferran Torres (18th min) scored early goals to give Barcelona a comfortable 2-0 victory.
“I’ll never forget this day. Never. I’m happy about this [triumph] and the atmosphere in this stadium is unbelievable. This morning, my mum called me and she said that my father passed away. And so I thought about [whether] I should hide it, or should I speak with my team? Because for me, we are like a family.
