"In front of the goal he's the best player" - Flick praises red-hot Lewandowski

Barcelona consolidated their lead with a resounding victory over Alaves in Mendizorroza. A triumph where Robert Lewandowski was the great protagonist with his hat trick and whom Hansi Flick, in the press room, did not hesitate to congratulate.
“He's the best in front of the goal. It's fantastic what he's doing. The number of goals he's scored is very good. I'm very happy for him and for the team. I want to highlight the whole team, which helps him to have these figures,” he said.
He also praised Raphinha's performance: “Raphinha has been captain for the first time and this has been very good for him. He is a dynamic player. I think he could still have been better and scored a goal. He could have done it in the first half. He fought for it and that says a lot about him.”
“We earned it going into halftime with a three-goal lead. I really appreciate what the team have done. It was a tough match, Alaves put us under good pressure,” continued the German.
Finally, Flick spoke about the defeats to Monaco and Osasuna: “When we lost in Monaco and Pamplona there were reasons to lose. But I don't like to look back. We didn't do things right and we talked about it. It's always about improving. We are focused on the next matches”.
