Regarding the role of Hansi Flick in his career, Casadó stated that the German has "helped me a lot to start playing matches in the first team," and that he "gives me a lot of confidence to play," and also "tells me very clearly what I have to do so that I can bring out the best in me." Likewise, the player from Sant Pere de Vilamajor pointed out a key moment to make the 'switch' and be able to make the leap to the first team: "As I always say, the important thing is to work to the maximum. Next to this squad, it is much easier to play."

"It is clear that these are my first matches in the First Division and I am feeling comfortable and good. I think both the coach and my teammates are helping me. I am happy with everything and I hope I can continue like this."

The team's feelings for this match and the desire of the Barça squad to achieve great things

Referring to the team's feelings after the defeat against CA Osasuna in Pamplona (4-2), Casadó expressed: "There is a lot of desire to win in the Champions League. We didn't like the defeat at El Sadar, but we are eager to win again. Hopefully tomorrow." He also highlighted the confidence that Hansi Flick has instilled in the Blaugrana team to get back on track after the setback against Osasuna: "He is very approachable, instills confidence, has the squad plugged in. We all know what we have to do. In the Champions League, you have to give 100% to win," he warned.

Similarly, Casadó praised the excellent level shown by the Blaugrana squad at the beginning of this 2024/25 season: "There is a very good squad. It is true that it is young and that many of us are starting as professionals. But I think it is good and we all have the ambition to win titles. This crest deserves us to always give our best and work to win as many titles as possible, too."

The keys to the match against Young Boys

To conclude, Marc Casadó highlighted the qualities of Young Boys according to his criteria: "They are a tough opponent because there are no easy teams in this tournament. They are a compact unit that can be dangerous on the counterattack." He also spoke about the tactical idea that Hansi Flick has conveyed to them for this match: "With the coach, we have everything very clear. We also work on the opponent. The coach has a clear idea of what he wants and we all understand it," he concluded.
