Andreas Christensen steps up on welcome return for Barcelona in Copa del Rey win
"It was nice to score, but for me the most important thing is to play another match. A lot of time has passed and I always enjoy playing with these players,"
"The key today was patience. Sometimes it's difficult to maintain quality, and we had to be patient and stay motivated. We had to take every situation seriously. That was the most important thing for us, and I'm happy it turned out well."
"We tried to control the game, but sometimes it's very difficult. A cold night, the pitch... I'm happy with the win and the mentality we showed today."
Andreas Christensen returned to Barcelona's starting XI for the Copa del Rey win over Guadalajara after injuries had limited him to three starts this season. Ronald Araujo's temporary absence offered opportunity, but manager Flick has favored Gerard Martin alongside Pau Cubarsi. Christensen contributed the opening goal and helped Barcelona record their first away clean sheet since August. He emphasized the importance of playing again, patience, and maintaining quality despite difficult conditions. Flick described his performance as "fantastic". Christensen's showing improves his chances for more game time, though Martin remains a strong selection favorite.
