for the players to enjoy themselves.
“This title is even more special because we won it at home against Real Madrid. Now it’s time to enjoy it with the fans,” he said.
“Flick is very important. He has very clear ideas, but within that there is a lot of freedom for the players. That’s how we can demonstrate the quality we have.”
“Every title should be celebrated in style. Especially a league title, which is a year-round competition. We have clearly been the best in Spain. Of course, we want to win the Champions League; that’s the goal. Next year we’ll have another opportunity.”
