'I will never forget this day' - Flick dedicates La Liga title to late father after Rashford free-kick sinks Real Madrid
"“It's been a tough day,” Flick said in his post-match news conference. “It started in the morning and, well, I'll never forget this day. This morning, my mum called me and she said that my father passed away. And so I think: Should I hide it or should I speak with my team? Because for me, it's like a family.”"
"“And I said, 'OK, I want to get the information also to the players.' And what they are doing was unbelievable. I will never forget this moment. I want to say thank you to everyone, thank you for everything, thanks for really fighting. I really appreciate everything a lot. This is like a family.”"
"“I have never felt so much love as today. It's amazing.” His players celebrated both goals by running to the touchline to embrace him. At full time, they threw him into the air."
"Rashford placed the ball, looked up, and curled a stunning effort over the wall and into the far top corner. It was the first free-kick scored by a Barcelona player against Real Ma"
Barcelona won 2-0 against Real Madrid in El Clasico to claim a 29th La Liga title. Marcus Rashford scored in the ninth minute with a curling free-kick into the far top corner. Ferran Torres doubled the lead nine minutes later. Barcelona secured back-to-back Spanish championships and opened a 14-point lead with three games remaining. Before kickoff, both teams wore black armbands and observed a minute’s silence in tribute to Hansi Flick’s father. Flick learned of his father’s passing that morning and shared the news with his team. Players celebrated the goals by embracing Flick, and they lifted him at full time.
