Hans-Dieter Flick expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance in their recent match, stating, "The season has just started and we played very well. We were focused and concentrated throughout the game. We knew that if we gave them space, we could combine effectively. Our pressing was very effective. The first goal was incredible, very beautiful. I believe we truly deserved the victory. It was a tough game as Girona plays very well, but we started very well and I think our performance warranted the win."

"We have trained very hard, we prepare well for each game. We have to take it step by step, game by game, but we want to win. We are in a good moment and we have to keep going. We can't stop. When you start, you want to win because it gives you confidence.

"In the first few minutes we saw that we are a compact team. We trust in ourselves. We did well. We had chances, today, to score even one or two more goals. I am very happy with how the team played."

On Yamal, he added: "He made the difference, he presses very well and that's very important. It's important that everyone presses high. That combination of talent and pressure is very good for us. Lamine played very well and we finished the chances we had well."
