The Catalans were 4-0 up at half time after goals from Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez, Roony Bardghji and Raphinha, with the latter doubling his tally in the second period.<\/p>\n<p>As per <a href=\"https:\/\/as.com\/futbol\/copa_del_rey\/no-puedo-confirmar-que-vere-al-madrid-manana-f202601-n\/\">Diario AS<\/a>, head coach Hansi Flick gave his reaction to the victory. He was also asked whether he sees his side as being in their best moment of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me always, my thought is the next game. But I appreciate what we did today because against Espanyol we hadn\u2019t been good. I like that we play as a team, together. It\u2019s fantastic to win 5-0. But it\u2019s only one game and the final will be different. Today we managed to be in control. We needed a few minutes to start working, then we played well. I\u2019m happy because we controlled the game well. We kept the ball and I like that we defended until the end to keep a clean sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flick confirmed that Lamine Yamal was not a starter against Athletic due to him not being at 100%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has had some discomfort in recent days, he had not been able to train and that is why he was not in the eleven. But he is okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1247\" class=\"wp-image-326739 has-webp lazyload\" style=\"height:auto;max-width: 1920px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Lamine Yamal at Villarreal.\" data-src=\"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lamine-Villarreal.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Alex Caparros\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Flick on preferred opponent for Supercup final<\/h2>\n<p>Barcelona will play either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the final, and Flick was asked about whom he would prefer to face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good thing is that we are in the final.
