With one assist and a remarkable performance, João Cancelo stood out in Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Levante. At the end of the match, the German coach highlighted the impact of the full-back and made it clear that the displayed performance matched what he expects from the player. "He had a fantastic game. We saw all his quality, created many chances, especially in the first half. That’s what I wanted," Flick stated. When asked about the Portuguese's continued presence in the starting lineup, the coach was cautious but acknowledged the merit of the performance: "We will see if he stays in the starting eleven. There is still a week to go, but João showed his strengths today. He creates chances and I think he had a very good game. He is a fantastic footballer and can help us a lot." "Every coach has to be demanding. Those who start must deserve it, and that’s what I want to see from all players," he concluded. A clear message at a time when Cancelo is looking to establish himself consistently in the coach's selections.
