Watch: The wholesome moment between Hansi Flick and Marc Casado during El Clasico | OneFootball

Barcelona’s victory in the recent El Clasico against Real Madrid sparked scenes of celebration, capturing the passion and unity among the players and coaching staff.

Among the memorable images that emerged, one particularly stood out: Marc Casado sharing an emotional moment with manager Hansi Flick.

Casado, who had just been substituted around the 65th minute with Barça comfortably leading 2-0, sought out Flick when the team extended the lead to 3-0 and then to 4-0.

In a spontaneous show of gratitude and excitement, the 21-year-old lifted Flick off the ground in a joyful embrace, illustrating the strong bond and mutual respect between player and coach.

Flick’s trust in Casado

This celebration symbolises Casado’s journey and growth under Flick’s guidance. Despite his young age, the midfielder has become a valuable asset to Barça, playing three demanding games in a single week and delivering remarkable performances.

Despite the strain of these matches, Casado’s energy seemed limitless as he shared this moment with Flick, who was visibly surprised by the strength and enthusiasm displayed by his player.

The post-match celebration quickly spread across social media, with fans and teammates alike admiring the midfielder’s playful personality and sense of humour.

Casado’s ‘long hair’ even became a light-hearted topic among his fellow players, as many joked about his appearance. But more than just a funny moment, this interaction with Flick serves as a testament to the manager’s faith in him.

Returning the favour

Earlier in the summer transfer window, there was a chance that Casado might have left the club.

Yet, Flick’s decision to retain him has proven invaluable, with him now repaying that confidence with critical contributions on the pitch, including assists in high-stakes matches against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

For Casado, these moments reflect the trust and opportunity he’s been given, and for Flick, they affirm the importance of nurturing young talent.
