🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "We're waiting for Christensen. I think he will be back for next season." "It also looks good for Eric and Kounde."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "We wanted to play in the last minutes with Raphinha as a 10, but he asked us to change him." "He had to come off. He could not play any longer."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "In Sevilla we stayed 3 hours in the airplane, and then we decided to stay there. This has affected us since then." "Then we moved to Paris without time. I don't want to speak much about this, but this is our situation and this is the truth."

🚨🗣️ Flick: "I don't accept excuses. Today I saw that we weren't fresh, but it's something we must accept. The trips and international matches are there. We have to focus on the matches that are coming".

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "It's part of the game. We are sad for all of the Culés."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "After facing Betis at Sevilla, it has not been easy for my players." "It's a part of the game of course, but this situation is difficult to manage."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "I think it's quite clear that we played against our best opponent, they have very high quality."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "We missed the freshness. We are no longer fresh." "It's part of the game. We have to do better and show a reaction."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "Our first half was not good. Our second half, after the goal, was good. We controlled the game."

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick: "We cannot forget this. Two defeats. We are not happy." "We are dissapointed."
