Speaking after the victory, Flick made it clear that the Super Cup final is the next focus.
Flick said: “I always focus on the next game, but I appreciate what we did today because we weren’t good enough in the game against Espanyol. I like how the team played today, they showed unity.
“A 5-0 win is fantastic. But it’s just one game, and the final will be different. We managed to take control of the game.
“It took us a few minutes to get into the game, but after that we played well. I’m happy because we controlled the game well. We kept possession and, what I liked, we defended well until the end, keeping a clean sheet.”
