Barcelona beat Osasuna 2-0 in La Liga on Saturday and coach Flick was full of praise for the club’s famous La Masia academy.

Flick also congratulated the club’s renowned La Masia academy after seeing numerous graduates perform well for his team in the competition.
“Eric has brought us stability and he had a great game. Gerrard has improved a lot. I’ve spoken about Cuba in the past. To play at this level at 18 is unbelievable. I congratulate La Masia for what they’ve done with the young players. It’s really great,” he said.
“For the first goal we had some space and we exploited it perfectly. The timing of the pass and the pass itself were perfect. Pedri is an incredible player, top class. What can I say? He is phenomenal.
“After a few weeks of struggle, we are back. All players are close to 100 per cent and the quality of the team is obvious,” he told reporters.
“The important thing is the three points. We controlled the game, we defended well. Maybe we didn’t have many clear-cut chances, but we had three points.”
