Hansi Flick reveals how the team reacted to the death of his father

On Sunday, May 10, FC Barcelona faced Real Madrid CF, but ahead of the match devastating news emerged — the father of Hansi Flick had passed away, with the German coach later opening up about how his team responded.

Details: After the match, the German tactician decided to share the story publicly. According to Flick, he wrestled for a long time with whether to tell the squad, but ultimately chose to do so because he sees them as family.

Quote: “I want to tell you a story. This is not something ordinary, this is serious. This morning my mother called me and told me that my father had passed away. I hesitated over whether I should tell the team. They are like family to me, so I told them.

I will never forget what they did after that. It was incredible. I will never forget it. I am so happy and so proud of everyone. Every player, every member of staff, everyone at the club. For me, this is a real family,” Flick said.

By the way, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2–0. Flick’s men only needed a draw to officially secure the La Liga title ahead of schedule.

Reminder: this Spanish championship is the 29th in the history of the Catalan giants and their second in succession.
