There were plenty of positive signs for FC Barcelona as they drew 2-2 with Manchester City on Wednesday morning.
Hansi Flick’s influence was evident in the Catalans’ display against the reigning Premier League champions, and his German counterpart was left very impressed.
Pep Guardiola assessed his former club’s performance in the post-match press conference (via Sport). He was very enthusiastic about FC Barcelona’s performance and the effect Flick has had in such a short space of time.
Guardiola impressed
“I really liked the team. The competitive games are completely different from pre-season, but they did a lot of things well.
“We suffered a lot when they had the ball. Their positional play is extraordinary. The wingers play like wingers, the midfielders come forward and the full-backs attack the spaces.
There is no doubt that this is a positive start to a new era for FC Barcelona, and Flick will be hoping to continue that momentum in the annual pre-season Clasico against Real Madrid this weekend.
