'We all saw it': Barca coach Flick takes swipe at Real Madrid's Copa del Rey win
In a subtle yet scathing remark, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has expressed his skepticism over Real Madrid's contentious Copa del Rey victory over Celta Vigo.
Los Blancos secured a 5-2 win on Thursday, but the match was marred by controversy surrounding the opening goal.
Kylian Mbappe scored the goal in question, but it came amid a heated debate over a potential penalty for Celta Vigo.
The referee's decision not to award the spot kick or review the play on the VAR screen left many, including Flick, questioning the legitimacy of the goal.
When asked about the match, Flick coyly replied, "The Madrid game yesterday? I have my opinion, we all saw it."
While he didn't explicitly state his thoughts, the implication was clear: Flick believes Real Madrid benefited from a questionable call.
As the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid continues to simmer, Flick's comments are sure to add fuel to the fire.
