Hansi Flick uncovers the key moment in this thrilling match and praises the “Top Barcelona player,” stating: “I’m fortunate to coach such a player, his exceptional talent brought us back into the game!”
Barcelona staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in Champions League history, defeating Benfica 5-4 in a nail-biting encounter at the Estadio da Luz.
