Barcelona superstar credits Flick for his ruthless form after Celta Vigo win – ‘He changed everything for me’

April 20, 2025

Barcelona’s 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo was filled with drama, but one of the standout moments was the emotional hug between manager Hansi Flick and Raphinha after the match.

The Brazilian winger played a pivotal role in the comeback, contributing an assist and scoring the last two goals of the match.

Ultimately, the hug after the match showed the power of communication and belief Raphinha and Flick have in each other, something that has been crucial for the Brazilian’s turnaround at Barcelona.

At the end of the match, Flick made sure to highlight Raphinha’s leadership and his transformation in the second half, emphasising the role his captain played in turning the game around.

Their relationship has been a key factor in Raphinha’s recent performances. The Brazilian had been close to leaving Barcelona at the end of the previous season, with his future uncertain.

However, it was Flick’s personal touch and constant dialogue with the player that convinced him to stay and fight for his place in the team.
